The kids who witnessed it had some not insignificant issues with anxiety and nightmares after. So, it’s not just “unfortunate,” it’s harmed those children.

My take on it was the kids were feeling very guilty, like the whole thing was their fault, because swimming was canceled when they (correctly) told their parents what they’d seen. And it was made into a big deal (probably correctly, hard to say). Their parents were very upset. These things also contribute to feeling anxious and having bad dreams afterwords. I’m sure you’ll say I’m trying to minimize their trauma. But if it was consensual sex, and the kids saw it by accident, this is something that happens all the time, all over the world, since the beginning of time. Nobody was abused and it shouldn’t be treated as such.

^^ This is for 3rd grade swimming at Dunbar.

Our school has had the chaperone gender issue. Kids went in unescorted regularly.

Stay classy, DC.

If I had to guess, their chaperone was probably female. I have angst sometimes when my son has to go into the boys’ changing area after swimming for this reason.

This my question. There absolutely should have been a chaperone.

Gay sex?

*Boy’s* locker room.

An investigation needs to happen ASAP. They also need to check whether the relations were consensual. I'm in Montgomery County: a few years ago there was a violent sexual assault in the Damascus HS locker room.

"However, the mother we spoke to says her son said it was four teenagers involved, and the details he provided were worse than what was mentioned in the letter to parents. "My student said they heard clapping, they initially heard clapping, and then the next thing they saw was male teenagers having sex in the high school locker room," she said."
