School Sued For Allegedly Making Special Ed Student Write Apology Letter To Rapist

SOURCE


I love the last statement about the special education girl failing to protect herself with reasonable means.

 

wtf

I'd consider it pretty difficult to fight off someone that was trying to rape you (for the physical strength and the psychological torment too). This school, and school district, is absolutely ridiculous. |:

Anyway, I do hope the girl's family's lawsuit against that district is successful. They clearly don't care about the students from this, and a special education girl at that. Also, I hope that guy gets the punishment he deserves (and the school officials more so for knowingly letting him get a chance at her again, despite the first rape she reported).

 

I'm almost certain there's some catch to the school's actions here. There's absolutely no way that they could be as bad as they're portrayed here. I'm not saying that they're saints, but this just -has- to be exaggerated or leaving out details.

...At least, I really hope it's not the full story. o_0

 

Talk about stupidity at its finest.

True, there are rape claims that are falsified. However, it's always best to give the victim the benefit of the doubt and do a thorough investigation before just letting something like this go.

 

There have been similar cases. Perhaps this is the same case, coming back a year or more later? On there being a catch, I am afraid not. I am reminded of another case in which a girl was gangraped on school grounds and the other students videotaped it with their phones, and no one was notified. A good deal of students, too, not just males or a group of friends.

 

Worse things have happened in history, this doesn't even come in the top thousand, so it's perfectly plausible.

This type of story make myself rub my eyes in pain. I can't believe what I read.

Whether this is all true or not or I an say its that school has acted in a disgraceful manner. You protect each one of your students whether they tell the truth or lie. If somone comes up to you as a teacher and says that they've been raped by a fellow student, whether they've been truthful or not obviously they dislike that student in some way that they are crying out for help. So you move them to another class or keep them seperated, or something. You don't punish the girl and intimidate her to change her claims.

This is the third story in the last year i've heard of a southern state school treating their 'special' students like shit. First a lesbian student not allowed to attend prom and set up a prom for them for special ed kids, and now this. Fuck me this is what fuels the fucking redneck jokes and the inbreeding, which with stories like this are starting to be proven right. ****ing c*nts.

 

That much is believable. Students acting out against a universally disliked peer in an act of mob-mentality. No one would stand against them at the time, and no one would gain anything except contempt and possibly harrassment from ratting out their peers. The best move in that case would be to remain silent. This is different to the case we have here, where it's adults in charge, the legal system involved and parents notified. One would expect it to be handled significantly better.

 

I fail to see the logic in that. Adults would not do the same thing? Why would the pack mentality change over time?

 

This is disgraceful, absolutely horrible. I see what P was saying and I pray that they missed something out, I know the media enjoy taking things out of context and exaggerating claims to make the stories more interesting, I'm jsut hoping this is the case here.

If it isn't then that is just horrible, no matter what you have to act upon the case, my guess is the school just didn't want to deal with the drama and have their reputation ruined by haivng alleged rapists in the school so they tried to hush it. They maybe even thought they could take advantage of her due to her being a special ed student. It's horrible really, how selfish. I hope the boy gets what he deserves as well as the school.

 

That wouldn't be possible. There are countless false accusations a month. Girls who regret having slept with the guy etc.

As far as the story goes, I think it's blown out of proportion, I'm not saying it definitely is, but I think it is. If not, it's of course not excusable. Many people go to extreme lengths just for publisity.

 

As I said in Voxli, it is a matter of competence. The less likely it becomes for a rape to be looked into, the more likely it is for a rape to happen. Potential rapists will take advantage of a mindset like your own, and it would be incompetent of you not to realize that they would do so.

 

Even though it may be impossible, they still have to look into them all don't they just out of the possibility of it being true. If not then so many proper cases would go unnoticed while so many false ones may get looked into- some times there's no way of determining whether it's false or not.

 

Those are harder cases. However, in a case where they have physical evidence and ignore it, like in this one, you are having more of a problem. It is one thing if you find no evidence after looking, and then deny testimony, but in this case they denied testimony in spite of evidence in support of it.

 

I didn't mean they shouldn't. I simply meant that no policeforce would be able to look into every accusal. I would of course like it if they looked into it, or that they at least made an effort to make it look as if they did. That alone would most likely make the numbers go down.

This wouldn't have been in the media if she wasn't, I believe.

 

Wow, how...Horrible is this?
The thing I hate most, is that the school probably didn't believe her, because she was a special education student.
More action should have been taken here, and I hope the girl and her family win the lawsuit.

 

This was not a matter of a police force, this was a single school.

This was a major case before it was mentioned that she was a special education student, unless this is simply a strikingly similar case to the one that happened a year ago.

 

I don't know how to react this this without making what I put sound really dumb. But this is just......you know what? I'll let the Nostalgia Critic say it for me

Couldn't have said it better myself Nostalgia Critic.

But on a serious note, how can the school do this? I know the answer to that: they can't. What makes them think they can actually make a girl that was raped write an apology letter, get suspened for lying, and all that other stuff and not expect to get in trouble? There's something seriously wrong with that school. In my opinion, I say it should either have the entire staff fired, or just close down the school. And have that boy put in Juvi for about 17 years.

 

He would be too old for it long before seventeen years passed.

 

you just have to be so technical don't you? Basically what I'm saying, if you actually didn't catch it, is that he should be kept in Juvi for as long as possible, or if it was possible, sent him straight from Juvi to Prison

 

The more likely result would be him being sent directly to prison now. If I recall correctly, the cut-off age for a Juvenile Delinquency Center was 18 (when you'd be a legal adult), but there have been many cases where kids younger than seventeen have just been sent straight to Jail/Prison.
