Please watch the video of Oprah at the bottom of the page. The articles I've posted are on point as well. Please read.

I'm totally ok with them having an attorney. It's just that I wasn't told one would be present. I was ambushed. It spoke loudly of their frame of mind.

When this all began I had absolutely no...

Yes, indeed I meant counseling. Thank you for pointing that out.

The message was an email sent to whoever is on the Brook Haven email list.

I posted the message sent by the school on Friday...

I'm not an advocate of punishment either. And yes, this is learned behavior. And yes, the boys need counseling. Has Brook Haven supplied said counseling? For the boys? For the girls? No.

So yes,...

I meant the incident with your daughter. Did you tell the school that a boy grabbed your daughter's hand and placed it on his groin last year? Did the school report it to the police?

Regarding the...

Do you have more details? Did the school report it the sexual assault to the police?

Are you serious? A teacher assaulted 2 kids and is still employed? Can you give more details?

I spoke with...

<br><br>

So now the abused girls are responsible to rehabilitate the perpetrators? The boys need to go. Space and trust needs to be created so the girls can heal.

I called Restorative services...

I forwarded this comment to Esther Warkov, co-founder of Stop Sexual Assault in Schools. Who coincidently just launched the #MeTooK12 campaign.

I very much want to implement Esther's proactive...

I totally appreciate your input and out of box thinking. If this option was brought up upon my initial meeting with the district. I probably would have completely (mistakenly) embraced it. In a...

It's very surreal. If it was little Johnny down the street and he pinched my daughter's butt as a joke and now shows remorse and is truly sorry. Although it is still wrong. I would be able to see it...

Thank you so much for this! I do have some awareness of Title IX and am studying it now. It's very obvious, The Sebastopol Union School District is not even close to being compliant with Title IX.
...

Stargazer, I feel your pain. In the beginning, this situation caused great anger in me too! Then I realized I was simply mirroring back all the anger and frustration of the boys I was upset with. I...

Excellent point! And if you do make sure to keep a copy and confirm they have received your letter. I need to take it under advisement if I can post their names and numbers.

It is actually the...

I believe we live in a very conscious region. I feel Sonoma County is a very progressive place. Furthermore, West County and largely Sebastopol takes the lead. I feel we have uncovered some ugly...

Yes, that is an option. Don't want to go there yet. But I will if the neglect on the school's part continues. I feel I will have no choice. I'm not sure why the district feels it's students are safe...

This is already at the school district level. The superintendent and the school district's attorney are running the show. I believe the next level is the state. I'm not going to hold my breath. I...

Thank you so much for the validation. The way these boys have behaved after all this has transpired has been the most surprising thing to me. The overall lack of remorse and continued cavalier...

Perhaps I am being an alarmist? In the past 5 months there have been 3 different boys who have groped 4 different girls, one girl got groped by 2 different boys. Making a total of 5 groping incidents...

Thank you for your kind reply. Indeed truly disturbing, on so many levels.

Unfortunately, my daughter does not feel safe at Brook Haven. Only when she is with her friends. If she is alone, she...

At the beginning of the school year, a girl got groped by a boy at Brook Haven School. He got a 3 day detention. The school district has confirmed this.

My daughter got groped at Brook Haven...
