12 Boys, Ages 6 to 8, Accused in Sexual Assault of Girl, 8
Wednesday, May 10, 2006

ST. LOUIS (AP) Twelve boys in the first and second grade at a St. Louis elementary school are accused of sexually assaulting a second-grade girl during recess, authorities said Tuesday.

One teacher who was supposed to be supervising the recess has been fired, and another suspended with pay, school superintendent Creg Williams said. Ten of the boys, ages 6 to 8, were suspended for the rest of the school year, and the other two received five-day, in-school suspensions.

No names were released.

The girl, who is 8, was unharmed physically but will not return for the rest of the school year. "We don't know what type of emotional scars it will have on the young lady," Williams said.

The incident happened Friday at Columbia Accelerated Community Educational Center, a school with 400 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade on the city's north side.

During the recess shortly after lunch, a student saw several boys huddled around the girl who was on the ground, and alerted a teacher.

Police turned the investigation over to juvenile authorities. A court official said the boys could face misdemeanor counts of sexual misconduct and assault.

Heather, that's exactly what I was wondering. This article doesn't give a very good description at all of what happened.

Nowadays a "wedgie" or a "purple nurple" would be considered a sexual assault. Hopefully it wasn't anything worse than that.

The report I read said the girl was on the ground and the boys were around her, but went no farther than that. I hate to think about this type of stuff starting so young...not that it should start at any age!!!

The pack mentality...what amazes me is the sheer number of kids involved. One or two of them may be from families where there's been abuse and inappropriate behaviour, so they become bullies and victimize another, BUT, somehow I doubt all 12 of them were. What amazes me is the number of kids involved in this that probably come from perfectly normal homes, and their parents are horrified their kid was involved thinking he had been raised better than that. The pack mentality trumps good individual raising.

Reminds me of a film I watched years ago from the perspective of a normal middle class family where their son had participated in the gang rape of a drunk and passed out girl at his frat's house. Granted, in this case, the boys had been drinking as well, but they touched a lot on the pack mentality and how mass peer pressure can influence a nice kid from a good family to commit a horrific act.

Certianly what happened to this girl was not gang rape, but I have to wonder if her mental state and trauma will not be very similar to someone who's gone through that. I hope her family seeks post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) counseling for her.
