[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone who is not aware, there have been more than 15 students so far identified as sexual assault victims since this past July.  The perpetrators were either MCPS employees, or as in the case at Damascus HS, MCPS students.

These are the community messages for when the perpetrators were arrested.

This is the data MCPS has been collecting regarding abuse in it's schools:

Update on Child Abuse and Neglect to County Council Education Committee (September 12, 2018) 
Update on the Implementation of Board of Education Policy JHC, Child Abuse and Neglect for Fiscal Year 2018 pdf
Update on the Implementation of Policy JHC, Child Abuse and Neglect, for Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017 (January 25, 2018)pdf

Update on the Implementation of Board of Education Policy JHC, Child Abuse and Neglect, for Fiscal Year 2016 (July 20 , 2016)pdf

Finally, this was the statement sent out by Dr. Smith for the arrest of Michael Riley, a 30 year retiree who was a coach and athletic director.  He was convicted for the statutory rape of a girl in the 1980s.  He had a sex with her in the building at Rockville High School.  Since Dr. Smith's letter, Riley was convicted for the crime and is serving jail time.

As the Riley case demonstrates, sexual abuse is not a new problem.  It also can take the police sometimes many years to gather the evidence for the arrest.  Meanwhile, parents can protect children by letting them know how a school employee is expected to treat them, let them know not to ride alone in a car with a MCPS employee, and reporting employees when they violate the safety standards that has been mandated by the school system.  Employees who don't follow the rules even if they are doing you a favor are risking their jobs.  Would you risk your job to do someone a favor? As adults, we know that is not how the world works.[/quote]
