[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also have an 11 year old boy and can’t imagine him making this up or carrying on for this long if it wasn’t true. Something clearly happened there. I can see why any parent at the school would be worried about the alleged perps still being at the school. [/quote]

Seriously.  An 11 year old boy claiming that they were anally raped is not something that would normally be in the realm of false accusation.

The social stigma alone, even at GDS, would make such a claim unlikely to be 100% false.  Something happened.

Whether there is criminal proof of what happened, at a school in which the potential perpetrators are likely connected and capable of fighting back, is a completely different matter.[/quote]

Nobody knows if it was the kid or the parent who made the allegation. And false allegations happen. They really do.

If there was any hint this actually happened the school would have been all over it. I just don’t for a second believe that a school would sweep a rape during school of an 11 year old under the rug. [/quote]

False allegations do happen.  That is true.  But it is also true that, on the spectrum of hyptheticals, a presumably 6th grade boy alleging that they were anally raped by presumably an 8th grade boy is the least common of all potential hypotheticals.

Let us also be honest that the liklihood of a school, with a large politically influential parent population, sweeping this type of incident under the rug is not uncommon.

The odds of such a hypothetical school sweeping such an incident under the rug is more common than a hypothetical 6th grader falsely alleging male on male, peer on peer, rape.[/quote]
