Would you say this to a young woman who was raped in college and the school did nothing because he was the QB of the immensely popular (and lucrative) football team and a "hero"?  Because then you are making her the victim TWICE.  That makes zero sense that the victim of a crime is the one who should leave.  I don't understand this reasoning at all.

If I'm sexually harassed at my work place by my boss, should I just find a new job?  Again...it's the same thing.  When will the person who is at fault be held accountable?[/quote]

If I'm the parent of a child who has had a disastrous social life at school, then YES, absolutely, it's my job to find my child a better school environment as soon as possible, if other measures (talking with school admin, talking with parents) don't show quick results.  And in fact, women who are sexually harassed almost invariably (although not always) find new jobs. That's why their payouts can be so big -- because they pretty much have to quit due to the emotional stress, and they get compensated for lost wages.  If there is an ACTUAL crime (unclear if there was here) then of course the perpetrator should face consequences.  But that has nothing to do, as a parent, with thinking about whether a different school environment would be better for your kid. [/quote]
