If the perpetrators were masked and disguised their voices then they could be anyone from anywhere. Maybe fellow students, maybe not.

There is no accusation in the school newspaper or in the underlying email from the parents that the school did not cooperate with the police investigation.

Sorry, this was the quote that was lamented about the impact that this would have on their kids T10 prospects.

Did I read that your takeaway is that it might detrimentally impact your kids’ college application process? That is peak DCUM.

Yeah maybe it is true, maybe it isn't. Let's check back in a couple months.

I would be inclined to believe a huge range of abuse and sexual assault stories in middle school, but this one seems very implausible.
1) That they were able to mask their identities. It's a small school. Did they change clothes?
2) I could see an SA happening as part of hazing or something like that, but then there's no way other students wouldn't have known about it on some level, if not the details
3) Even if I could stretch to believe one very clever, secretive, deviant child predator...two? Who found each other and planned this and managed to keep their mouths shut for years, including during an investigation?
I'm not saying nothing bad happened to this kid, and I want them to be supported, but I seriously doubt this tale.

I am not sure if the victims family thinks there is evidence that the Police have rejected but I doubt that the school is not cooperating with the police. This publicity is enough, never mind someone being able to point to not cooperating.
I’m not sure that the school is cooperating. I’m sure they have given the police everything they asked for, because they don’t want to be sued or accused of obstructing an investigation or something like that, but as they are they as cooperative and proactive as they could be? I doubt it, based on that that the email they sent out to parents today purged on blaming the victim and making it sound like the child completely made it up.
It provided no details about whatever their investigation was, or if they’ve done anything to either make sure that no more assaults occur or that no assaults do occur
A child’s allegations should always be taken seriously. In addition, if the child did make it up, they kept up with the lie long enough that their parents pulled both them and their sibling from the school and they’ve apparently been seeing a therapist ever since. It seems to me that a kid would have to be really really committed to put themselves through that for this long if nothing had happened.
regarding the masking, I wonder if it wasn’t a ski mask situation so much as it might’ve been kids obscuring their faces with a scarf they were wearing or drawing a sweatshirt hood close around their face.

I agree the allegations might not be true, but the reasons you stated are nonsense. First, GDS is not a strict and disciplined environment, and second, even if it was, strict and disciplined environments are just the sort of places that breed the potential for abuse. So wrong on all fronts, PP.
