They will hide and run the clock as long as it is allowed.

Because it makes the school look bad??

No, it should end because everything that can be said has been said, repeatedly across 60 pages.

They've already run that clock long enough that the chances that anyone will be able to come forward with information are super low.

Exactly. The email from GDS was a thinly vieled threat. How can the Atlantic continue to promote this HOS when he makes claims in the media that are objectively false?

What was the threat and what was stated that was objectively false?

It is in the victim's interest as well as the publics' interest to know what measures they took to root out the criminals. Protect the victim at all costs and allow the public to actually have confidence they actually did an investigation instead just saying they did. Right now I have no confidence in anything MPD did and GDS is connivingly using that as an opportunity to defect and bury things.  This is how grownups in charge fail children and it's unforgivable, both of these groups.

My gut tells them there is something foul going on here. It feels like a rigged sports game where fouls are deliberately not called in order to have the predetermined team win.
This affects not only the victim but others going there. It's in the public interest that MPD show someone other than themselves what they did to work this case.

I have never found MPD reliable and found them unmotivated to solve crimes even when  everything was right in front of them. I found it even more hopeless when trying to hold anyone at MPD accountable. It really feels like they get to do whatever they feel like with no higher authority to check them. They are famous for stonewalling and evading themselves.

Does anyone have avenues for dealing with MPD? to question them?   What would an actionable process look like that can help the victim and the students at GDS who are pretty much sitting ducks. I and a lot of others don't have any confidence in what MPD did to solve this case because of what I saw or lack thereof and the fact that they provide zero details on anything other than self grading themselves.

Genuinely, what could they have done differently? The assault was not reported for 3 months and the victim could not ID the students that did this to him, and I would assume the security footage if there was cameras would not have been saved for three months. The schools can't interrogate all the middle school boys, I woul assume there would be a civil right violation in doing so and probably false confessions or accusations etc. if they did as students just would want to get out of that situation. The whole thing is obviously terrible, but I really do not know what the school or MPD could have done with literally no information.

Let me just repeat how odd it is that everyone seems to think the alleged assailants were students despite the fact that the child reported that they concealed their identities.

It's implicit in the email that the parents sent.

The point is they were disguised so there is no way to know if they are students.

You think two random pre-teen/teenage people were able to access the school undetected, lie in wait in a bathroom, assault a student, and leave campus with no one seeing them? That seems more likely to you than two GDS students being the perpetrators?

Masks and disguised voice or not, the kid would know if he been assaulted by adults vs student-aged people.

The Atlantic promotes the HOS? How?

Then maybe post it. Keep in mind that

1) The police were contacted by the family
2) The school reported the event after they were informed to the police and CPS, as required by law
3) The school followed the police departments instruction to not discuss the event until the investigation was completed
4) The school hired a private firm to investigate.
5) The Epstein files had not been released so this notion that they chose a poor firm because it was connected to Epstein is a bit ludicrous.
6) The police conducted their investigation and said that there was not enough evidence to proceed

So, outside of the things that the school did do, what should they have done?

If you don’t have a kid at GDS, I’m not sure why you care so much about how the school responds to a particular issue. I have multiple kids at the school and while I think the school could I’ve been more transparent in their handling the issue, ultimately I know enough about the situation to feel completely confident that the investigation done was sufficient and kids are not at risk.

Why not push GDS to do better?

Read the thread, many posts on this point.

The Epstein files are out now, why no response to this now know connection by GDS?

The connection again is what other than using the same professional services firm? I hear both Epstein and GDS have corporate AmEx cards - should they cancel?
