The Children's Services department in Lucas County, Ohio has launched an investigation after a 7-year-old first grade student said that two of her classmates forced her to perform sex acts on them at a charter school.
Rise and Shine Academy CEO Dr. Pat McKinstry
told WTOL that the school first learned of the incident when a student reported that something "nasty" was happening in one of the bathrooms.
According to the mother of the victim, two girls, ages 6 and 8, asked her daughter to perform sexual favors on them."My daughter is considered the victim," the mother told WTOL. "They think that they bribed my daughter into doing things... Not once but twice. And the first time she said she didn't say anything because she was scared."The school, however, said that only one of the girls instigated the incident, and she had not been allowed to return to class.
"We have not let that child come back," McKinstry pointed out. "It's disheartening, it's sad to me that we have to terminate her if her mother would not be honest enough to get this baby some treatment."
The teacher responsible for the children was reportedly no longer working at the school because she violated rules about monitoring students while they were in the bathroom. And the school has created a new school policy that only allows one student to be in the bathroom at a time.
McKinstry said that a psychologist had been called in to help the students cope.
"This incident, even though it happened, these 6-year-olds' innocent minds are only reacting to what they have been exposed to," McKinstry explained.
But the mother of the victim said that her daughter would not return to school until more actions were taken.
"Something needs to be done," she insisted. "Especially if they're not keeping a close eye on the children and this is what's going on at the school."
A statement from the school noted that the incident was "still under investigation."
"We're not at liberty to discuss further details, but additional policies have been put into place to ensure the continued safety of our children," the statement said.
Comment: How does this incident even occur? It's likely that in the U.S. today, society has become so sexualized that it is trickling down to young children where such thoughts never occurred before. This is the state of society in the U.S. today and where our media, whether music, movies, or television are doing to children's minds.
... when I was attending college, an older professor went on a rant about how the greedy, callous US media was 'sexualizing' everything, and portraying violence so glamorously, that he warned us all that if the media was allowed to continue to have its way, they would unhesitatingly, unceasingly, and irrevocably poison America's youth with ads and entertainment that were so overtly sexualized, so violent, that there would be endless bloodshed in every city among the citizenry, and that, "...five year olds will be humping in the streets within your lifetimes."
I have to admit that after class I and others laughed at his obviously 'hyperbolic' statements, dismissing them as an old crank's jealousy of our youth and our 'sexual revolution'.
I'm not laughing now...... :-(
