[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From student newspaper article:

“In the email, the family said Metropolitan Police detectives were involved in the case and found the allegations to be credible. The family said that the police department needed more evidence to make an arrest.”

That same article quoting head of school:

“Contrary to the information shared with you earlier, we can report that neither T&M (the independent investigator) nor the MPD found evidence during their investigations to substantiate the allegations.”

The fact that neither their independent investigator nor MPD found evidence is NOT contrary to what the family’s email said!!! The family is reporting that the police found the child credible but would have needed more evidence to make an arrest. Shaw really screwed up his response. His response showed no compassion for a family’s suffering—clearly they are suffering regardless of what specifically happened (I believe some type of assault happened). The response from GDS is seriously lacking and grossly dismissive.[/quote]

GDS parent (and lawyer) here.  Exactly this!  I keep harping on this to my husband.  GDS sent a follow up email today that said the same thing.  Lack of evidence to substantiate doesn't mean it didn't happen.  In many of these cases, it's just he said/she said (or here, he said/he said).  Whether it is deemed to have happened turns only on the credibility of the allegation.  There is no other evidence.  I want to see the police report to see if the allegation was indeed deemed credible as the family's email said.  [/quote]
