[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A teacher walked into the bathroom during the assault, saw the two feet under the door, and walked out, doing nothing. Aces.[/quote]
That teacher will never experience a moment of peace again after knowing what happened to that poor girl.[/quote]

I'm not sure that the kind of person who would walk out and do nothing would have those feelings.[/quote]

Let me provide an alternative viewpoint of why this might’ve happened:

Teacher walks in. Sees two sets of feet in a stall. Surprise surprise, kids are in a stall together. This happens ALL THE TIME. Am I as the teacher going to intervene and try to get in that stall? No. What I AM going to do is leave and go find admin/school security because it’s their job to deal with those kinds of infractions. Given the interaction BEGAN consensually, the teacher likely had no idea it was going to turn into rape. Nothing may have been occurring at all when she walked in. As much as you might want to believe that students rarely meet in the bathroom to hook up or do drugs, that isn’t true: it’s incredibly common. She didn’t knowingly walk out on a rape - [b]she walked out to probably go tell admin to deal with two students in the stall doing who knows what.  [/b][/quote]Did she do that?[/quote]

I don’t know. I am simply saying, the situation has alternative explanations that aren’t “a teacher saw and heard a rape and just left.” As a teacher, we should actually not be the ones trying to address drugs, weapons, sex, fights, etc in schools - it’s a huge liability on all sides. So if I walked in and saw more than one student in a stall, I would find as quickly as I could the appropriate person to handle that kind of incident. I certainly think if the teacher walked in and heard screaming and struggles and could tell it was a sexual assault her response would’ve been more immediate to try to stop AND get help, which tells me it wasn’t clear when she saw their feet that it was sexual in nature or violent yet. I wasn’t there, I am just saying, it’s a big leap to assume she could tell an anal rape was occurring and just left because she didn’t care. [/quote]
Sounds like your whatabouting is irrelevant then.

As others have pointed out they WOULD have said something about seeing 4 feet. Regardless of knowing if a rape is happening, two students shouldn’t be in the same stall. [/quote]
