Seventh-grade boy allegedly raped during gym class


Recommended Posts

A seventh-grade boy was allegedly raped by another male student during gym class at Barack Obama Global Preparation Academy in Los Angeles two weeks ago.

The 13-year-old boy, identified only as Julian, is a special-needs student at the middle school, reports KTLA. He has the mental capacity of a six-to-eight year old.

The boy?s parents, who are also only identified by their first names, announced plans to to sue the Los Angeles Unified School District on Monday.

At a press conference, Brian Claypool, an attorney retained by the family, said that Julian?s physical education teacher left Julian unsupervised during class. The alleged assailant, an unidentified eighth-grade boy, then lured Julian behind a set of bleachers and sexually assaulted him.

Julian?s mother said she filed a complaint some two months ago because she feared that other students were bullying Julian during gym class. She says school officials did nothing in response.

Both parents now argue that school officials should face criminal charges for criminal child endangerment charges, according to KTLA.

Claypool characterized the alleged incident as part of a broad failure on the part of the embattled school district to train staff and safeguard students. He argued that someone should have been monitoring the unknown assailant.

?How was he wandering throughout the school, running around, recruiting another boy to have sex with him behind a bleacher?? Claypool demanded indignantly in front of a bevy of reporters. ?Does anybody at LAUSD care where the kids are during a class??

That's just terrible. What in the world has happened to people these days?

 

 

Such things have been going on for a couple of thousand years.

 

It may be happening more, because of the huge population.

 

And with our technology, it gets reported more.

Maybe so but it seems we are going through a phase where respect for human dignity has been devalued.

Morals, what morals? Morality does not support instant and self-gratification, therefore, it must be destroyed.
