[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a heartbreaking story and i believe the victim here.

It is predictable that with trauma a sexual assault survivor 11 year old might not tell his parents for weeks/months.

It is predictable that there would be no evidence after months have passed.

It is predictable the school would have an internal/ quiet investigation - rather than alert community- which might turn up leads, which might not be convenient for a narrative that this did not happen.

It is predictable that the credibility of the victim would be contested by “no evidence” statement.

It is also unclear to me why we are assuming the two masked individuals are students —- they could be anybody, and presumably there are others coming and going through the school —-

It is predictable also that after a year; this brave family is impatient for justice— has probably lost hope in the truth coming out — and is desperate for evidence —- and this is their last resort - an open call for information to the community —- and a warning in good faith.

I support this family in coming out on the truth. I also am a fan of Russell Shaw. I do not think he wrote that email that went out, his lawyers did, and i wonder if after reflection of a week or a year he may read his email and look back with a pang in his gut, as i feel.[/quote]

Lots apparently clear.  What is unclear to me is how this could have happened in a five minute period between classes in a bathroom with nobody else present.  The masks also make it exceeding premeditated and planned, which is curious for middle schoolers.

I absolutely believe that something happened.  The definition of rape is also a bit broader than our (or at least my) default assumption, so I suppose that even if something horrible, different than the most common assumption happened for seconds, it would still  be defined as such. [/quote]

The article does not say it happened between classes.  Please stop repeating that.

It could have happened anytime.  Lunch.  Before or after school.  Who knows?  Please stick to the facts.[/quote]
