Current Events > FBI investigating Texas school after first-grader allegedly performed sex act

(+) Yeah! (+)

The FBI is investigating an alleged sexual assault that occurred at a Texas elementary school and recorded on a district device following a week of protests and threats made against the school.
Plainview South Elementary parents say the school district failed to properly communicate with them after a first grader was reportedly forced to perform a sexual act on another student on April 19 while a teacher was in the room.
The districts IT department found a video recording of the incident taken by one of the students on a password-protected iPad, school officials said in a statement to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.
After the Plainview Independent School District canceled classes on Monday and Tuesday due to threats made against the elementary school and its educators the school district announced Monday that it is working with the FBI.
We appreciate the support of the FBI and of their resources to evaluate the multitude of circumstances surrounding the incident, the school district said in a statement Monday.
Classes resumed Wednesday.
Parents, family and community members protested outside Plainview ISD's administrative offices May 1 after a parent posted a statement on Facebook April 28 claiming South Elementary Principal Jennifer Hughey and Superintendent H.T. Sanchez did nothing after the alleged incident occurred.
On May 1, Sanchez, Hughey and Plainview ISD Assistant Superintendent Yesenia Pardo said in a statement to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that the teacher was working with a group of students and did not witness the incident.
The incident was recorded by one of the students on a district electronic device, the statement said.
The following day, April 20, the teacher noticed a group of students off-task when she took an iPad away from one of the students. A technician opened the locked device on April 21, when administrators discovered content showing the alleged sexual act.
The two parents/legal guardians were notified that concerning content was identified on the device and that Child Protective Services would be notified of the matter, the statement said.
A CPS investigator met with the police chief and started an investigation.
The teacher was placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.

Texas, are you okay?

Jesus

Was a drag queen anywhere in the vicinity? They emit a psychic field that forces you to molest children, Alex Jones said so.

I get being upset with the school because the teacher "didn't see" what was happening, but why is there no mention about an investigation into the home life of the kid that did the assault? First graders don't just think up sexual assault on their own, the kid learned it from somewhere and home is probably that place.

I'm very confused who is molesting whom here. What a terrible article.

Is it an older kid and a younger kid, that teacher to both those kids, or what.

Isn't that why CPS is involved?

This is Texas so the "sex act" might actually be something stupid as fuck like "boy put on lipstick"

Article doesn't say what happened.

Yeah that's the part that bothers me too. The teacher didn't notice it. WTF kind of "sex act" could happen in the middle of a classroom without the teacher noticing?

Other articles pretty much say the same thing, word for word.

Also a 1 amp dormant account posting this doesn't inspire a ton of confidence.

Ah okay. If that's what happened, then yeah that's a pretty big deal. The school's response is far too lax considering they discovered what happened the next day.

And definitely investigate that boy's home life. Because that's not something a 6 year old should know about without some outside influence.
