College and University Discussion
| Thought I’d post an update about the sex offender in my son’s suite. Officials came and moved him out yesterday. I contacted the crime reporter for the local paper, and she started making some calls. That and me posting on the parents’ facebook page seems to have done the trick. Being a gadfly and protesting en masse can get things done. Hopefully the kid can go home and receive the treatment he so desperately needs. |
| If they are over 18, that reporter is probably going to publicize their name. |
| Good. Glad you're nagging or whatever we shall call it got the ball rolling. You did the right thing. |
| Link to background, please? |
| I'm so glad you were able to get this resolved. No doubt the roommates are feeling less stressed now. |

Why do you assume that any of this happened BECAUSE of your actions? Narcissist. |
| Is this VA Tech? |
I expect this kind of response at night, but certainly not during the day. |
Yes. Interestingly, another (not crazy) suitemate is a graduate of St. Albans. So maybe someone in the Big 3 gossip network can corroborate my story. The other post was locked, and I was accused of being a troll. |
| Good for you, OP! Advocating for your son was absolutely the right thing to do. |
| What school? |
|
Poor guy is suffering from possible serious mental illness. HIPPA blocked any discussion with you OP.
I do hope he’s not treated like a criminal, but he does need intensive treatment off-campus. |
|
Good for you OP. I skimmed the other thread and you did try the normal channels first.
Made me think of the college girl who had the 30+ y.o. suitemate. Was that thread real? I hope action was taken there too if so. I know these 18 yos are "adults" but it's still a new and hard time. |
| Good job OP. Colleges have serious federal duties to address sexual harassment/sex crimes. It sounds like some low-intelligence campus police and administrators didn’t realize that this is a sex crime until you pushed the issue. |
