[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“To be clear, according to the MPD, the case was thoroughly investigated and there is no evidence to substantiate the allegations put forth by the former family.”

Shameful and a disgrace. MPD is notorious for not believing survivors of violence. I hope this gets the attention of the Mayor and the city. Children don’t make this stuff up. My thoughts are with the family for their brave decision to come forward in a very public way.

Completely agree.

Someone here is lying. The family says that MPD found the child's allegations to be credible; GDS says they did not. So which is it? That part should be easy to discern and should be made public.[/quote]

Well, the parents said this, and then the school responds publicly -- "Though we cooperated and were interviewed by a third party investigator hired by GDS, they have not shared the investigative report with us."[/quote]
This is normal. Unless there is a subpoena or legal requirement, such reports are generally not shared, and even though only parts of it may be. I'm guessing GDS provided a summary of the findings, but not the full report. Generally the full reports contain a lot of sensitive information, including statements that cannot be corroborated, and interviewees are often promised confidentiality as a condition for cooperating with the investigation. Given the small size of the school, confidentiality may be impossible to guarantee if shared with the victim's family. It's frustrating for the family who is suffering, but not turning over the complete investigative report should not be interpreted as nefarious on the part of GDS. [/quote]
