Reason 730 to HomeSchool: Your Daughter Won’t Get Gang Raped at Homecoming

Granted, if you are homeschooling, you will avoid dances altogether, but now with the added benefit of avoiding gang rape.  A girl was gang raped on school property in Richmond, California.  Students and teens in the area stood around cheering and taking pictures on their cellphone cameras.

The school’s response is to blame the parents for not picking up the students. And school surveillance cameras are broken and won’t be fixed until next week.

The shocking story from ABC here:

An official with the school district where a 15-year-old girl was brutally gang raped outside the homecoming dance defended school security, saying that when the students leave the dance, “we don’t take them home.”

As many as 20 people may have either watched or participated in a vicious rape of the Richmond High School teenager that lasted for more than two hours in a dimly lit corner of the sprawling campus.

Rather than call for help, some of the students took pictures. Police have arrested two suspected rapists but believe that between four and seven people could have participated while as many as a dozen stood and watched.

The school spokesman said it’s up to parents to make sure their children get safely home from these types of dances. The spokesman added, “The dance itself was a success in terms of safety. Nothing happened at the event. We’re currently exploring our protocols to make sure that we can expand them, and make sure that this isolated incident doesn’t get repeated again.”

The girl left the high school’s homecoming dance alone around 9:30 p.m. Saturday to get a ride home with her dad. Instead, she met up with a group of people who were drinking on the edge of campus.

The series of events that occurred over the next 2½ hours got more severe and more vicious to where she was ultimately gang raped and beaten, and her injuries were so severe that she had to be sent to the hospital in a helicopter. Police officers found the girl semi-conscious, curled up near a lunch table.

School officials had recently approved a “very costly” security system, but that it had not yet been installed. Security cameras already installed in the school are not believed to be functional, he said, but there were no cameras pointed at the spot where the rape happened.

Richmond High School has a banner outside naming it “most improved.“

What a successful dance! Only one girl was nearly murdered due to sexual assault and rape. Most improved indeed!
