Taylor and BOE forcing MCPS sex abuse victims to trials

[Anonymous]

Taylor could have settled these cases last summer and spared these victims the trauma of testifying in open court about sexual abuse by MCPS staff.

You can't settle a case unless both parties want to settle.

Did Janis post something previously with the evidence that all of these claims are truthful and accurate?

Not a surprise.

The pattern of silence and evasion by the BOE and the system is not surprising. This is why local media putting the spotlight and pressure on MCPS is important.

You'd think a victim would want their day in court. What a weird post.

You know, the tone of that blog is ridiculous. No one is going to comment on pending litigation. This notion that the district should just settle it quietly instead of take it to court makes it sound like a shakedown gone bad.

Use the Epstein victims as inspiration here. Stop erecting straw men arguments.

No one is going to comment on pending litigation. They're following counsel's advice.

It's going to court. No need for local media to "put pressure" on anyone.

This absurd whining about silence and local media not doing something is unconvincing. Have the day in court and let the chips fall where they may. That's more transparency than anything local media can do. Unless you're just hoping local media does your bidding, which is what it seems like.

Why do they need a day in court when the MCPS sex offenders have already plead guilty?

MCPS spends a fortune in attorneys and these things should not be happening at a school.

Reporting on harm going on in the school system that is overlooked or unresponded to is precisely what local media should be doing. That has nothing to do with my bidding.

A nation that can't try it's criminals in court is doomed.

Are you confused about how liability works?

Courageously testifying in open court is how a survivor can give future children protection.
