Mary, legally what has happened is a criminal action, sexual harrasment & sexual assault carrying, the school is by law legally bound to protect students from this. The parents should bring criminal charges. Allowing these actions to continue with out the full force of the law is one of the reasons that victims relive the situation for the rest of their lives. A good many blame themselve (espically when an adult says the victims usually have some part in it...see the Catholic Priests). When justice is served it helps to heal & sends a message to a school system that allows this to happen that this behavior WILL STOP. Barry
