Bully, 12, investigated for rape

Post Reply New Topic

Is there something wrong when I'm not even surprised by this sort of thing anymore?

While I haven't been through what this poor girl has, I've had some nast experiences with school.

I've been slapped in the face by a student, threatened with bodily harm, and once had a teachers' aide slap me on the ass in highschool (I raised hell about that one and got suspended for a week). And of course, it was all my fault. Nothing was ever done.

This is mortifying.

I was going to say something controversial, but I didn't want to offend anyone. Nevertheless, I think we need far more respect than we currently get.

Amazing. This kid raped a girl on the playground while other children watched, and he still is going to the school. Just more of the concept that the laws of society don't apply to inside a schoolhouse. Absolutely repulsive. I just can't wrap my mind around this, the faculty has to know this has been going on. The little sadist deserves to be locked away, he preys on people like a animal preys on other animals. I don't know what I would do if it was my daughter. I'd pull her out of the school, maybe go on Oprah. I don't know, I mean if she didn't want me to go on Oprah I wouldn't but it's like, something people should know about. Like they should go on Oprah or Dr. Phil and humiliate the school.

This is outrageously wrong. The boy should be arrested and charged with rape, regardless of his age. The school ought to be sued, especially since they failed to protect her after the incident. Oh, and (sarcasm on) I just loved the way the principal or whoever it was tried to blame the mother (I think it was the mother) by saying "You brought this on yourself by calling the police" (sarcasm off).


On top of that, this was done while the other students were watching, so they handled this way below just plain "poorly", they handled it atrociously. I wouldn't say the lack of response is anything new, though. Most schools generally turn a blind eye to bullying of any sort, but especially sexual harassment/rape/bullying of a sexual nature, often because that subject is considered "taboo" by society as a whole, the same way spousal abuse is. Most children generally don't know much about this sort of thing, as parents often have the idea of "They're children, they don't need to know about (this/that/the other)", and thus feel the need to shelter their kids. That said, even a 9-year-old should know that rape is a serious crime that should be dealt with accordingly.

2008...Man, That brings back Highschool memories. I thought reviving old topics was against the law.

None of the "grown ups" in this story seem to have behaved like responsible adults

this is sick that boy should be locked up,

That's intresting they brought it on themselves by trying to take action? wow this disgusts me....I mean not only is that terrible, but what kind of a school official or whatever actually justifies due to someone trying to take action against it. I loath people like that, they're the ones who helped make my childhood hell, because it was my fault I got bullied because I couldn't be 'normal' well yeah this pisses me off.....I almost want to write a nice little letter to that school about how sick, twisted and screwed up they are.

This is (expletive deleted) sick. The kid should be charged, the principal should be fired and barred from any profession involving supervision of children.

How come the law & order types are always so keen to come down hard on anyone they perceive as a misfit, but always so ready to excuse (and often actually contribute to) bad behaviour from people perceived as socially dominant?

Sending the girl back to the school, what a horror show.
