Who cares, really?  I'm grateful that they did.  Or else, MCPS would continue to play it down as if it was NBD.  [/quote]

I’m not. It revictimizes the victims with too many details. [/quote]

Strongly disagree! This needs to be discussed in the open, without naming the victims. Keeping the culture of silence ensures that there will be more victims.

I agree!  Keeping it quiet will lead to even more victims.  [/quote]

Ignoring what happened re-victimizes the victims.  Reporting how brutal the attacks were sends a wakeup call to parents and hopefully will help much needed change to occur in MCPS.

My child was abused in a MCPS school.  It took bravery for him to come forward and share his story.  My son's actions of sharing his story hopefully will prevent what happened to him in high school from happening to others.  We shared the details with media but not his name.  The media was protective of his identity and we saw improvement with the added lens of the media regarding the details.

Change is the only closure to offer a victim.[/quote]
