[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people think that MPD, CPS, and a highly regarded third party investigator are all lying about the lack of evidence? 
Again GDS has no incentive to prevent a thorough investigation. Think about it. GDS would be doomed if after all of this the perpetrator(s) committed another assault. GDS has every incentive to find these alleged criminals and get them out of the school. The school would be sued out of existence if they failed to find the perpetrators.[/quote]

The police incentive to do less is saving themselves work or telling themselves that they will use the extra bandwidth to investigate crimes they have a better chance of solving or those with a smaller chance of pissing someone important off. The school incentive is that they can say that nothing happened and not be the place where this is definitely happened. And it can take care of the problem by just asking the suspected assailants to leave and it’s all hidden because people get counseled out or leave Gds for various reasons each year.

Regarding the investigation, for what it’s worth, I have multiple children there, including those in the likely grade of the victim or assailants and none of them talked to an investigator, and they don’t know of any other children who have. I don’t know of any parents who say their children have spoken to anyone.

The investigator supposedly didn’t find anything, but as far as I know, not even the board of trustees saw that report. Nor does it seem like there’s any reason for them to not give it to the kids parents as it’s not legally privileged.

In the school didn’t bother to remind the kids about how to report things and deal with incidents until after the parents stepped up

But did your kids know anything about this? I don’t think an investigation would talk to every child in the grade, just those who would be likely to have information.  Maybe friends of the victim, kids who matched any physical description of the perpetrator, etc. the fact that a kid with no information about the incident was not asked about it does not seem to raise any red flags.
