Parents Outraged After 6-Year-Old Allegedly Sexually Assaulted By Peers Who Filmed on iPad
The victim's family says the school has not been forthcoming about the attack.
Parents at a Texas elementary school were outraged after allegations that a 6-year-old girl was forced to perform a sex act on a fellow student while another child filmed the incident on a school iPad.
A protest was held outside the Plainview, Texas school district administration building after the situation came to light, demanding answers.
According to the cousin of the alleged victim, the school district found a video of the attack on the school iPad and opened an investigation but does not appear to have informed the little girl’s family.
Heather Gonzalez says that it was only when she noticed a change in her cousin’s behavior that the child told her what had happened.
The girl said that her desk mates had pulled her under a desk and assaulted her as she fought back, something which the sick video evidence reportedly confirmed.
However, according to Gonzalez, although the school found out about and began to investigate the incident the following day, they were not forthcoming with the girl’s family and she remained seated next to the two boys.
“Everything was ‘no comment. I cannot tell you. No comment,’” Gonzales told KCBD. “So, you mean to tell me abuse has been happening for a week and a half and these kids are still at the same desk. My cousin is still at a desk with all boys, having to see her abusers every day.”
