Suit alleges kindergartner sex assault (by another kindergartner)

[deadparrot]

AUSTIN, Texas - Two parents have filed a lawsuit alleging school officials failed to protect their daughters from sexual assault by another girl in their kindergarten class.

The lawsuit claims both girls were subjected to repeated sexual abuse by the third girl during nap periods and on a playground in the fall of 2005.

It says the assaults took place even though the abusive girl's mother had warned a school official that her daughter had been a victim of sexual abuse and might be a threat to other children.

The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court, names the Eanes Independent School District and an elementary school principal. It seeks unspecified monetary damages.

2. How could the child abuse others, at naptime and recess? Where was the supervision?

...I don't place much weight on the mother's warnings that her daughter might present a danger, unless that information was also provided by mental health or court officials and made a part of the record. But I can't help thinking that there was a real suopervision problem, if the little girl could behave sexually toward her classmates, without being noticed.
