[quote=Anonymous]Schools have a duty to report. Not a duty to investigate. No school administrator is trained to investigate crimes. They called the police, they called CPS (required by law to report any allegations of such), hired an investigator, reviewed safety measures and adjusted to improve. The school provided supports for this family. What more could they do? If they knew who did this, they would kick that kid(s) out immediately. I'm confused why everyone is saying the school didn't do the right thing when the allegations were shared with them. No one ignored the allegations or didn't believe them. They did what a school is supposed to do when something like this is brought to them. Russell does not handle the day to day life at the school. He's not in charge of safety! He hires people for that. Why is everyone blaming Russell? He probably didn't even know the kid. He isn't involved in GDS day to day life.

I feel very sad for this family and really hope they find who did this to their child. It's heartbreaking. I am curious how an 11 year old hides something like this for 3 months from their parents. Did the parents not notice anything was going on with their son? I would guess there was a lot of school refusal, fear and withdrawing from activities. I'm surprised they didn't realize earlier. I'm very sad for the child and their family. May their email to the community help them find answers. Their bravery to come forward made a difference for other students. It opened up dialogue, increased school safety measures, and for that, I'm thankful. I'm just sorry it took something so terrible to happen to their son for that all to happen. [/quote]
