Mother demands answers after daughter's sexual scandal in school
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- A mother is demanding answers from the Broward County School Board after they withheld information regarding her daughter's "inappropriate behavior."
A teacher found three students from William Dandy Middle, a special education school, engaging in what officials would only classify as "inappropriate behavior" in the parking lot, back on Dec. 19. According to police, however, the inappropriate behavior was actually all three kids, with their pants down, having intercourse. The incident involved two 13-year-old boys, and an 11-year-old, mentally handicapped girl.
Although all three are in "exceptional student education," authorities say the boys were well enough mentally to know what they were doing.
The incident was reported only two days later, after a school police officer overheard two other people talking about it. The 11-year-old's mother says that when she did find out about the incident, she wasn't told the whole story. She is now demanding answers as to why her daughter was not being supervised.
According to the mother of the young girl, since the girl has been pulled out of her middle school and placed in another school, her behavior has changed. "She seems sad," said the mother. "She's biting on her nails. She's not playing with her brothers like she usually did. She looks like she's thinking about something else."
The Fort Lauderdale Police Department is investigating the case in conjunction with the school board in the search for the unanswered questions.
