This is one of Sidwell School's newest school building on campus. You think
they would of built it with security in mind.

'would've'

They could put cameras in the rest rooms, but that might not be to everyone's liking.

I cannot imagine a Sidwell teacher saying the f word.

You're kidding, right?

As a new Sidwell parent I have to say, this bothers me as much as anything. I'm hoping that was the editorializing of an overly-zealous "reporter."

It bothers you as much as a possible rape?

Maybe your priorities are as messed up as the
Sidwell School's are.

What about the Sidwell Schools priorities are messed up?

Based on what we actually know at this moment, what has Sidwell done, or not done, that could have been better?

Give me a break. It is a school, they were in a bathroom of the school . There is a presumption of semi-privacy.

What do you want a security camera inside every bathroom stall ? Hall monitors ? Or people peeking through hidden cameras in the walls like like have in hotel rooms in Tehran ?

The school already has classes to teach kids about personal boundaries and consent, but imho THAT is a parent's job NOT a school's job.

When teenagers go off course, look to the family in which they were raised and i am saying that on both sides of this.

How about we try this:

parents : parent your children to develop a sense of personal boundaries and both self respect and respect for others

WHY are teens having anal sex anyway ?? for example. Why do 60% of teens take naked photos of themselves or film themselves having sex and then share those images using the INternet. Where is their sense of personal boundaries ?

AND get your kid off of their iphone and FB so that maybe they develop some people reading skills based on actual in person personality , not a FB persona

Stop blaming the school and parent for a change.

What were 'they" doing in a bathroom together in the first place?

No, sorry, poor word choice on my part. But yes, the language used in this piece by a presumed Sidwell teacher is offensive and I don't like it at all.

Clearly that is part of the investigation.

This poor girl. I don't think details about what kind of rape has been alleged should be public. That's a terrible thing to have her peers know. I wonder why that was released.

One of the reporters is an alum -- possibly a former student of the teacher's, so this was most likely a conversation between friends or acquaintances, rather than a formal statement to the media.

It's an expression of shock. To me that's actually when swear words are most effective. I dont mind at all. I like it.

How in a democratic society can you accuse someone of a crime and not have the details be made public? ALL these details should be public.

[Anonymous]

Aren't both students minors? Under 18?
If so, the details will not be made public.
Agreed, unfounded accusations at this point are not helpful. But something happened that caused a teenaged girl and her family to call police. Something happened.

+1. I don't see how this is remotely appropriate given that the two are minors. Plus, this is at the investigation stage, not a trial - don't see why the public's desire for salacious details should trump privacy.
