Georgian First Grader Beaten and Sexually Assaulted by Male Classmates…School Says Boys Just “Rough Housing”
Valdosta - Three first grade boys kept a female classmate outside after recess by hiding in the woods, pushing her face first into the ground. The victim, whose name is being withheld, has suffered scarring to the right side of her face from broken tree branches and rocks that she was allegedly assaulted with both physically and sexually.
The victim was able to escape the male classmates after fifteen minutes of torture, running into a fifth grade classroom and alerting a teacher of what had happened. The principle of the elementary school said he had a “man to man” talk with the boys and their parents, giving them two days of suspension. He neglected calling the local authorities claiming “it did not seem like a police matter, just simple rough housing gone a little too far”.
The parents of the victim are looking to press charges on the boys for sexual and physical assault, as well as a possible law suit against the school district. District superintendent was not available for comment.
This is called rape culture you guys. The girl was 7 years old and they called it “rough housing” between boys.
Please boost this post! People NEED to hear about this.
aww this is so sad :( You can only start imagining what those boys will be like when they grow up.
This is not only an issue that needs to raise awareness because the principle fails to acknowledge the true disgustingness of what has happened, but because these boys have been living in an environment where they have thought it was acceptable to abuse girls, or abuse anyone in general. It is easy for people to want these two boys’ heads on spikes, but when it comes down to it, they made a humanely unconscious decision that they deemed as acceptable, due to the people or influences that they have been raised around. These kids are still learning their times tables, so how could we blame them for the heinous things they did. There parents seriously need to be assessed and judged if they are fit to raise these young boys.
