[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is heartbreaking and outrageous that the two students in this case graduated from LAMB in 2015 and all of this did not truly come to light until nearly two years after they graduated. I can only imagine the internal turmoil they carried alone for those two years while starting middle school, which is pretty much an awful time for kids. Just about everyone failed them.

So this case represents those two families. However, when he was finally arrested in 2017 it was due to reports by three other "current" LAMB students. So I'm guessing we'll be seeing additional civil cases.

And is there any criminal liability for the the former principal and Cottman? In reading #92 I was so dismayed that the administration allowed a meeting occur where an apparently unqualified staff member talked to the students (without parents present) and stressed secrecy. WTF?!??!

"In or around February 27, 2017, Defendant LAMB, through a LAMB employee, held a session with the current LAMB students who had been taught by Defendant Fernandez. During this meeting, the LAMB employee emphasized confidentiality and secrecy with the students. Upon information and belief, these students left this meeting with the impression that they should not discuss Defendant Fernandez’s sexual misconduct."

I totally agree.

It was also really messy. Fernandez had two of his own children enrolled in the school, at the same building where he worked. I think the staff member was trying to protect those kids from gossip about their father being arrested.
