You’re clueless about privacy laws. And more.


He’s leaving anyway.

Why not provide it to the victim? Why deny their requests?

Good for the family in bringing the school’s conduct to light. Sunshine is the best disinfectant.



Transparency is always the best policy and this situation shows that.

It was possible that this incident may not have been as egregious as it appears. The family could have been exaggerating what happened in the bathroom. But now the story is justifiably about how GDS responded instead of what happened.


It really is.

While it’s possible that 2 kids intent on raping another child could hoodwink the traumatized younger victim as to their identity it just is not plausible that the adults at the school have no idea. Unless running the clock is the end goal.

The treatment of the victim and his family has been callous, shaming and silencing.

The real message to students in all grades is far from optimal and it’s quite hypocritical. GDS had a teacher who SAd a student and the response was quite different. When it comes to peers it’s Lord of the Flies it seems. At least under the tutelage of toxic T&M. Time to cut ties.

I don't think most people understand how privacy rights work. A private school can later be sued even if a parent wants sensitive information disclosed. I am surprised they even allowed this article to be published with details about the student such as the student withdrew from the school last winter and that they were assaulted. Since students rarely leaves in the winter the student is identifiable not only to the school community, but now to members of his new school community. Even if a parent waives confidentiality for their child, that pre-teen / teen still has privacy rights a parent can't waive. Schools are expected to protect minor identities in sensitive cases, and if they don't they can later be sued.

Parents can't force a school to issue a statement in cases were privacy has to be protected. Schools also can't give police a list of names of all the boys in the school, all the boys who had classes in that hallway, or all the boys who had discipline issues. The school would get sued by those parents. Police can't go on a fishing expedition. Private schools don't provide names to police without a subpoena, court order, or warrant. If they did they could be sued by those parents. Affluent parents aren't letting their kids be interviewed by police.

This really is a terrible situation for the boy and his family but publicizing it this way can be harmful in the years to come for the victim. I think this post should be removed, not because I have anything to do with GDS, but because it discloses way too much information about the victim.


That is complete horse manure.


Wrong.

What social media platform? It looks like anyone can still comment on their IG page. Maybe it's just you they've limited?


I took a quick look out of curiosity and maybe they’ve limited commenting on Facebook but not Instagram? But I don’t know for certain at all.

Besides more cameras it might be useful to have older lower school students involved in consent culture training. Since GDS has years of experience telling other schools to do better, why not educate its own students on consent, especially in light of an allegation? Don’t need to id perps to address students as a whole.

Had the family not sent the email it would have been continued silence. That may be how T&M does things but GDS can and should do better for all of its students.

1. The school didn’t refuse anything and the family preferred not to release it.
2. Everyone knows who the redacted kid is and no one wants to subject them to humiliation.
3. The report says that they did considerable questioning and have zero evidence that anything occurred.

It’s time to let this thread die as no one has brought new thoughts, except faux experts in various wannabe legal and privacy realms, for days.


The family stated in their broadly sent email that the school refused to provide a copy. Your post makes no sense.

3 is an interesting claim with nothing to support it.
