[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655743, member: 1550"] In a school district very close to our daughters, a deaf boy, who did wrestling, was sexually assaulted by some of the other wrestlers and his clothes were stolen in the locker room of the school. I found out about this only because I was sitting next to his mother at a football game and we started to talk. She opened up, like it had been bottled inside of her. The boys who did it were suspended for doing it and many of the kids were furious because they were such go od wrestlers and they wanted their school to do well!!!! Amazing to me. Shocking too. Also, the Coach was not hard on the boys. It did go to court and while it was in court the boys were again allowed to wrestle and this poor boy was being attacked daily at school and, trust me, the school admins were scared and tried to stop it, but they couldn't. Ultimately, the boy moved to our school district...a warm, small school with superior academics and he was taken in and accepted totally. What burned me up was that one of his abusers, a top notch wrestler, was recruited on a full athletic scholarship for college and he is there today. This is even after the boys were found guilty. The school distric that this happened in had to pay a lot of money to the boy and his family and he now goes to a very good college for the deaf. When I hear stories like this, I just want to scream. This is so not okay. [/QUOTE]
