[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be inclined to believe a huge range of abuse and sexual assault stories in middle school, but this one seems very implausible.

1) That they were able to mask their identities. It's a small school. Did they change clothes?

2) I could see an SA happening as part of hazing or something like that, but then there's no way other students wouldn't have known about it on some level, if not the details

3) Even if I could stretch to believe one very clever, secretive, deviant child predator...two? Who found each other and planned this and managed to keep their mouths shut for years, including during an investigation?

I'm not saying nothing bad happened to this kid, and I want them to be supported, but I seriously doubt this tale. [/quote]

I’m a parent and this is generally my thought. To add, this allegedly happened in a pretty well used bathroom during the short period between classes, that seems hard to pull off. And even if the kids were masked, basic characteristics, like gender, skin color, height, and build would narrow the possible perpetrators down to such a small number they could be easily identified.

It is also completely inappropriate to send an email to parents and students the way that this family did. The parents are clearly unhappy with the school, maybe for good reason or maybe they are insane.

If the school and police investigated this and did not find enough evidence to move forward, the school can’t and should not share anything about this with the community.

If some disturbed kid accused your child of something awful, of which there was no evidence, would you want the school to put that out on blast to the community just so that everyone had all the information?  [/quote]
