I'm the PP who said that I don't want MCPS to e-mail me about every incident at any of the 200 MCPS schools. What would I do with this information?
I'd ask if they heard about it, are kids talking about it, do they know the accused in any way, do they ever feel uncomfortable about teachers or coaches or staff or kids at school and do they know they can always come and talk to me about anything..... The answers surprise me.
When the incident happened at Rockville, I asked my DD if she knew any girls at Rockville and how they were feeling. Turns out lots of girls feel creeped out and unsafe at school (of course), and the Rockville incident reminds them all how vulnerable they are no matter where they go to school. Asking also opened up a conversation about peer on peer date rape at our school. DD has friends who have been sexually assaulted, and are struggling emotionally. And then there's the impact of seeing a peer come forward with accusations of rape and basically nothing happening to the accused and the victim being painted as a slut. So, even though the Rockville incident didn't happen at our school, it has a huge impact on DD. Turns out there is a HS grapevine, and DD also knows about other assaults and how they were handled at other schools. All total during HS, DD had 2 teacher sexual incidents at her school, knows of 2 rapes at least, knows about at least 2 other incidents at other schools plus the Rockville thing.
I'm glad I asked. I had no idea how much DD was exposed to.
How awful.
And this in one of the richest counties in the world. Where does the money go if it's not to protect the students?
They shouldn't be getting beaten up or sexually assaulted st school. How can any of these county council politicians or high level administrators even accept a salary while young children are being abused? Seems like all of the county money is going to developers and whoever else high level people are buddies with. Time to clean house .
Maybe there should be a class action lawsuit filed by the girls of the county because they have to go to school - and even after school activities - in a hostile environment.

Yet again, no notice to parents.
How do you know? Do you have a child at Col. E. Brooke Lee Middle School?
I don't have one at Rockville or Richard Montgomery and one went out. Your point?
Do you want an announcement of every incident that occurs at any one of the 200+ schools in MCPS? I infer from DCUM that there are people who do. I don't.

Interesting point. I did not see his age. 21 seems young.
