No Safe Space for Our Kids

Student attacks in Burlington County

Imagine your 12 year old daughter, who still plays with stuffed animals, comes home crying because while she was trying to wash her hands in the school bathroom, another female student school comes into the bathroom takes her by the neck and pushes her up against the wall. Then when your daughter struggles to get free, the girl pins her hands down and presses her body up against your daughters body breathing heavily with her hot breath in your kid’s face. Your daughter tells you that another student walked in and that’s when the assault stopped. She leaves the bathroom, goes back to the classroom, and hears that same girl tell the other kids freely that she was trying to rape your daughter in the bathroom.

A few days later, in the hallway, that same girl kept trying to grab her neck while breathing in her ear, and puts her hands under her shirt and up your daughter’s back while your kid frantically tries to get away.

The girl whispers, “Its not like I can actually rape you in front of everyone here.”

With fear and tears in your daughter’s’ eyes she refuses to go back to school sobbing, “How can a girl do that to another girl mom?”

Now imagine you pull your kid from class and call the principal to come up with a solution but you never get a call back. Meanwhile the principal doesn’t even notice that your child wasn’t even in school for days.

This is what happened to a Burlington County family in the beautiful, upscale town of Evesham NJ.

The family decided to go to the police to press charges and engage a lawyer to come to the school with them since the principal was refusing to allow the family to fill out the proper paperwork for the assault at the school. The principal never even contacted the school resource officer about the assault, which is part of the protocol.

Why is the school trying to avoid filing charges here? Well, there’s a complication, the assailant is classified in a special victim class of student, she is a girl identifying as “nonbinary” with pronouns “He/They/She/Them”. There happens to be 50 kids in just one wing of this school changing their name in Genesis to another gender. They are all a protected class of student that get special privileges.

This is happening all over in NJ and schools are hiding and avoiding these types of situations to avoid conflict. They are also hiding the uptick of violence in schools. There are consequences to locking down, masking and treating these kids like diseased animals for the past 2 years. Youth mental health is at an all time disturbing low, the schools seem to be ignoring this in favor of pushing the sex-ed and social justice agenda that the parents don’t want in the public schools.

Parents came to the BOE meeting on 4/28/2022 with outrage over the district brushing violent multiple attacks under the rug. Children are hurting and this needs to be addressed. Not hidden.

The school is still trying to hide their failings gaslighting all the parents that came forward at the meeting.
