3 boys rape a third on school bus, outrage at victim because he told on rapists

The paper noted that after the crime became public, students had t-shirts made reading "Team TTH" (TTH being the first initials of the three rapists)

Sounds like a lovely school.

Males cannot be victims.

The school and parents of the boys who sexually assaulted a boy are outraged?

Read this sentence and see "Three of the boys, aged 14-16, cornered a girl, 13, carried her to a more private location, taped her wrists and ankles, and raped her with a hard object."

Why does the sentence above incite more anger because the victim is female. Because it is a male-child who was abused by other male-children it is seen as horse-play not the serious crime it is.

I'm disappointed in you, reddit. Nobody is going to say it? Fine:

Three boys rape a fourth on a school bus...

FTFY

Once Denver prosecutors caught wind of the case, they arrested the three assailants. They have been charged with kidnap, false imprisonment, and "sexual intrusion for the purpose of abuse."

Apparently he wasn't even raped according to the law.

That the school officials tried to pass it off as some sort of "boys will be boys" hijinks is really outrageous

My spider sense is tingling. What are the odds at least one if not all of those boys are being/were abused, possibly by parents. That might explain part of the outrage, given that parents who do such things typically have skewed views on children and sexuality.

that the alleged victim's father is a school official. Worse, Norwood School Board President Robert Harris doubles as head wrestling coach at Norwood schools, and has four sons on the team!

And maybe the victim has been abused as well.

Maybe it's due to the fallout at Penn State, but I've become rather cynical of close knit communities; I'm not making any kind of accusations, but I'm growing suspicious.

Jesus. I think this only strengthens my suspicion.

Superintendent talking about making a new code of conduct.

Apparently the old one didn't make it clear that raping other students is prohibited, and that school officials are required to do something about it if it does happen.

Also, this is not okay!

As part of the plea bargains, charges of kidnap, sexual assault, and false imprisonment were dismissed.

They have been charged with kidnap, false imprisonment, and "sexual intrusion for the purpose of abuse."

I think you mean rape.

The Norwood Post reported this month that two of the students involved in the rape have pleaded guilty — to third-degree assault. Since assault is not a sex crime, they apparently will not have to register as sex offenders.

Yeah, uh... I think somebody didn't realize that an actual rape was committed. At the very least, charge them with some sort of sexual assault!

Back to student discipline: when there is "any written or verbal expression, or physical or electronic act or gesture, or a pattern thereof, that is intended to coerce, intimidate, or cause any physical, mental or emotional harm to any student,” the new Code of Conduct notes, a first offense results in a “bullying threat assessment evaluation.”

Again with the over-complication, trying to classify these acts as something so simple as "bullying." Is it so wrong to admit the truth of the matter - that your students raped a kid?

The third rapist, now 15, who was noted as "awaiting trial" in the previous update, has also now pleaded guilty to one count of "sexual contact/no consent," a misdemeanor.

Seriously, I don't think I can make the avoidance in this situation any clearer.

As part of the plea bargains, charges of kidnap, sexual assault, and false imprisonment were dismissed.

Another fine example of how ridiculously stupid the United States justice system is.

The third rapist, now 15, who was noted as "awaiting trial" in the previous update, has also now pleaded guilty to one count of "sexual contact/no consent," a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to "ongoing" probation, 50 hours of community service, participation in a "victim empathy class," participation in a "boundaries" group, and join with the other two boys in paying $2,892.20 in restitution, which will be divided by the Crime Victim Compensation program, and the victim's family "to help reimburse" them for "out-of-pocket expenses."

It was noted again that the other two boys, age 16 and 17, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault. They were sentenced to two years of probation, 50 hours of community service, and payment toward the restitution. One was ordered to participate in a "restorative justice program" and the other to go through the "victim empathy class" and the "boundaries" group.

Not one of these kids is going to to be imprisoned, and not one of them is even going to have a tainted record.

That's justice for you.

This excellent blogger may not know it, but his story is at the cutting edge of mens rights issues. This should be reddit front page.

I think this other article does a better job of explaining the parents' outrage: http://www.nbc11news.com/localnews/headlines/149255115.html.

Apparently the principle has ignored other hazing incidents but now that his son is the victim he's finally stepping up.

I know how small town journalists can skew the facts and fill in the blanks when they aren't kept in the loop about a controversial story. Something about this story seems off and I don't think I can believe the schools and the students reaction.

Last year someone at my old high school was accused of molesting a kid he was babysitting. He was one of those son of a cop, nephew of the football coach, hometown hotshots. I knew from friends what the situation with the school and the other students was, and also what the press said, and it was way off. If recall correctly, he was arrested for drugs and weapons (in white upper middle class suburbia) while awaiting trial.

Goodness, that website looks like it's from 1999.

TL;DR ? That is one mess of a web page.

I'm just speechless. I spent fifteen years teaching elementary school kids, and I've seen first-hand the long-term negative effects that can occur from verbal bullying. I can't imagine what the victim in this case is going to suffer. Every single school official -- every damn adult who even heard a rumor about this -- needs to be fired and prosecuted. The three monsters who committed the abuse need to be expelled and prosecuted. And the school district should be on the hook for the long-term therapy this poor kid's going to need to get over this. It's a really sick contrast with the schools you've profiled for idiotic ZT policies: here was a moment when officials actually had a moral, ethical, and legal obligation to protect a child and remove a clear, proven danger, and they failed on every possible level on which a human is capable of failure. Just sickening.

This is a metaphor for the MRM. Society is outraged that we are asking for help.

Admitting that boys are raped by the truckload shines a bad light on gays and will never be brought to the attention of the public. Just like the mass media only portrays women as victims and paragons of morality, the same goes with gays. A victim card can never be revoked.
