Rogers Assailant Was 13 Years Old

 

Over the past two days, we've received around 100 reports of various assaults at Rogers School in Green Hill. Some referred to the same incidents, but there is still a troubling number.

We will publish reports that can be verified, but will not use names of children. We need certain info to publish: Names (not used in our blog), age, time, nature of crime, reports (or problems reporting), and punishment if any.

Even with a large number of parents contacting us, we have only one that we can verify with the above info.

Victim: Male junior varsity football player

Perp: Male - 13 years old 

Crime: He and some friends attempted to sodomize the other young football player with an inanimate object.

Report: Yes. No problems mentioned reporting.

Punishment: 30 days in school suspension

We have no idea how the perp's family handled this, but it's proof of some major problems in his home life. The victim's parents apparently agreed to this punishment; we are surprised they didn't insist on more legal repercussions for this lovely teen thug. The boy's coach? Many think he encouraged the situation.

That brings us to a recurring theme among those who have reported - the reports somehow become "lost." If you report an attack on your child, you should be given (if at a county school) the deputy's name taking the report and a number for future reference. No report should just be "lost."

We'll be addressing this issue again in a few days.
