[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is maryland law but if you read the espn article above you see that this has been going on in for a while. It’s happened in multiple settings and multiple states but it appears that most get off with a slap on the wrist. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be penalized. I just don’t think they should face life in prison. These kids for some reason are the ones that have been chosen to made an example of getting nation wide attention.[/quote]

No child should face life in prison. That's not justice. And to tolerate or look the other way [b][u]when hazing like this[/u] [/b] goes on only to decide now to punish the kids is also a sign that maybe it has something to do with who the father of a victim is, or the skin color of the children who committed the crime.

This should not be swept under the rug, and the adults who allowed it to happen need to be punished. The children who committed the crime also need to be punished, but in a way that is appropriate for children so they get proper treatment and is geared towards their rehabilitation.

I'm disgusted that the idea of life in prison for them is even a thought that people would have.[/quote]

Once again, this is NOT hazing... this was RAPE. 
Pre-meditated, first-degree RAPE.

I wonder if you'd question if this was hazing if your son came home & had a broomstick forced inside of him??

[b]The kids that did this had violent histories at other schools,[/b] NONE of them lived in the Damascus community, NONE of their families live in the Damascus community.  Just like MCPS does with their "troubled" teachers, MCPS transferred these troubled kids to a school in order to sweep this under the rug. 
Damascus & their community had no idea of their history or who the boys were. [/quote]

The Principal should have known. Why were these kids allowed to join the team?[/quote]
