I had several kids accuse me of having drugs, which was ridiculous. Each one more credible apparently. Good thing that’s not proof otherwise I would’ve been expelled or went to juvie or something.
Immediately after they accused you, did your school put you in unsupervised, close proximity with your accusers?
Or did the school keep you separated, and/or supervise your accuser’s interactions with you?
Whether against the boy in retaliation for harassment, or against the girl in retaliation for a false accusations, violent retribution was and easily foreseeable and highly likely outcome after the accusations.
The school may not have had sufficient evidence to distinguish victim from perpetrator. The principal indicated he believed the girls were lying; that they were making false claims about the boy. And yet, he put the girl on the bus with the boy, without supervision adequate to prevent a fight.
He put someone he believed to be a victim in close proximity with someone he believed to be a perpetrator, and <Pikachu face> a fight broke out. Like that result wasn’t at all predictable.
Nobody is upset that the investigation and criminal case against the boy is incomplete. The delay is not the problem here.
Please acknowledge the actual problem: The school fucked up their immediate response, and that fuckup instigated a chain of events resulting in their punishment of the person we now know to be the victim.
Having a small amount of proof (i.e. evidence) against you isn’t enough to go to juvie, duh, but it’s enough to get the courts involved. The school handling this internally was a mistake, once child porn and sex crimes are happening it’s time to call the cops.
I thought the police were only contacted after the fight? There’s interviews where the principle says that he basically was ignoring it because “kids lie a lot” and, while some of the girls went to the police, I don’t think the school itself actually did.
No one’s phones even got confiscated at first, which absolutely should have happened before it escalated to this point.
Testimony literally is a form of proof, or more accurately, evidence.
Multiple people testifying the same way just means each testimony is more credible.

Which is exactly what they did. Ok peace.
