The school system protects offenders
I've gotten sexually assaulted a few times before but this isn't about my attacks.
I'm going to college soon (YAYYYYY I ACTUALLY AM GRADUATING!!) but something happened. I have a couple of junior girls who are my friends who have gotten groped multiple times by this one guy. Multiple times, multiple girls. But this guy is going to be Senior Class President. I felt I had to do something.
I reported the attacks that I had heard of and even got these sweet girls to share their stories. It was all for nothing at all.
He is STILL going to be the senior class president. They are sending him to a CAMP mind you (where student gov goes during the summer). I met with administration once again yesterday and they just kept saying, "We can't tell you anything" "anyone can be an offender" "the case is closed." Are. You. Joking. Me? I had made these girls open up, be vulnerable, share their stories, and they STILL sided with the offender. I broke down in that office and I couldn't even bring up the points I wanted to bring up or the laws that says schools HAVE to protect. They didn't even get the police involved. I even said "Well Jeremiah is either going to assault someone worse because he realizes he can get away with this kind of stuff or one of the girls is going to take their own lives because of the stress." Because that is EXACTLY what happened to me. I am living in this deja vu.
I guess moral of the story I'm so done. I hate men. I hate those administrators. Hell I even hate school!! I have tried and tried and lost sleep over this. My nightmares (from my PTSD) are coming back. My mother says I'm pushing myself too hard and I think she's right. But how do you just sit idle and LET this happen?? They did NOTHING with my case and they're doing nothing with this case. I'm so done with the "see something say something" because why aren't the adults who are SUPPOSED to be protecting these poor children aren't?? THIRD report I've ever made to this school. How DEPRAVED do we need to get for them to ACTUALLY care?? "A sixteen year old gets raped... welllll we can look the other way. A four year old though? NOW we have to put a stop to this!!"
I can't anymore. If anyone has any advice on how to know your limits please tell.
