“Something needs to change,” says Christa Lauks, the mother of a third grader at Schall Elementary School in Caro.

Lauks says she has watched her 8-year-old transform from a fun-loving innocent girl, into a terrified child after problems with a group of boys.

“They’ve pushed her down, stepped on her, and pulled her hair.”

Then in at the beginning of November her daughter came home and told her one boy had told her the explicit details of sex.

Lauks found it disturbing the young boy knew so much and went to the school to address the issue. She says she spoke with the principal, but it didn’t stop. Her daughter came home asking questions about other sexual acts this boy had told her about. Again she says she went to the school and raised concerns.

Then last Monday her daughter called home and asked to be picked up from schools.

“She got in the car and she was crying,” says Lauks.

Her daughter told her the same boy told her he planned to force her to have sex with him.

Lauks notified school leaders who she says told her they could put her daughter in another class, but this boy would not be removed or disciplined because he is disabled.

Lauks says this isn't fair to her daughter, and she fears this boy is a danger.

"I don't know this little boy. How do I know he's not going to do something to my daughter?”

The principal at Schall Elementary School says she is aware of the situation and steps are being taken to keep children safe, but she said it wouldn’t be appropriate to talk about it on camera.

The mother of the child threatened says she’s not satisfied. She understands this little boy has a disability, but fears he could permanently hurt her little girl, if not physically, emotionally. She suggests the school pull him out of class, or assign someone to supervise his actions more closely and require he go to counseling to learn appropriate behavior.

“The school says they’re handling it. We’ve been up to the school several times. Why does it keep happening if they’re handling it?”

Me personally my kid would not be going to that school anymore.. Michigan has the school of choice program in place. Which means your child can go to any school with in the county you live in. My daughters are both in this program. They even have a bus to pick them up but I think it isn't like that for every district.

Either way my kid would never step foot back into that school.. How is she suppose to learn anything when she is worried about sex and being raped?

She needs to be calling the state to check on this boys parents. I'm beginning to wonder. Wonder if they are sexually abusing him.

[Mommyof2]

I totally agree with you.. there has got to be a reason he knows so much about sex at such a young age..I was so mad about the school not protecting the girl I didn't even think of that!

“The school says they’re handling it. We’ve been up to the school several times. Why does it keep happening if they’re handling it?”

Last I checked, "behavior modification" is not an overnight process even in adults. To expect instant results from an elementary school kid is ludicrous. From a disabled grade schooler may be even be more than ludicrous.

Not that I think what is happening is right, I just think the mom was way naive in her thinking (by that statement). How many times do you send your kid back into the lion's den and get surprised there are lions there?

The boy disabled or not, the young girl has a right to a safe environment and the school has the responsibility of providing that safe environment while the students are there, I know laws never favor the innocent, all the do "gooder" asshole lawsuits have gone to far to the left and made life miserable for the average innocent person

[gee]

Absolutely that girl has the right to a safe environment. Like DV said how many times do you send your little girl into the lion's den.
At what point as the parent do you say enough is enough. Remove your child from the environment and find a better school. I hear all the time how parents would kill for their child if someone harmed them. Why not do something less drastic and put your child in a different school?

Why does this boys needs mean more to the school than the rights of the girl? I think it is only because he has some sort of disability so they are pussy footing around terrified that the PC police will find out that they disciplined a "disabled" person. Disabled does not equal no responsibility for ones self. I agree with this girls mother. The girl has done nothing wrong and is being put into a situation that has the potential to be dangerous. She is a victim and her rights she could before this boys rights. Another example of political correctness going overboard

[criminallyinsane]

If that was my daughter, id be yanking her out of that school and reporting to CPS and the school board. Whos gives a shit if hes disabled? if hes a threat, he has to be removed.

It seems these days that whenever a kid behaves inappropriately at school, it is excused because the child is "special." Maybe it is due to "mainstreaming," I don't know. Yes, I do recognize that some kids have legitimate developmental disabilities and whatnot, but it is increasingly used to give these kids carte blanche to do whatever they want. I apologize if this sounds insensitive, but my cousin's little girl recently had a similar experience with a kid in her class, and the school's reaction pissed me off. The little terror singled my cousin's daughter out for some reason as "the one to pick on," probably because my CD is a quiet, very smart, well-behaved little girl. For the first 2 months of the school year, she would verbally harrass CD, bully her, and even pinch and slap her on occasion. CD would come home from school in tears every day. My cousin talked to the school, and was basically told that their hands were tied because the little brat was "special." They did the exact same thing that the school in this case did: offer to place CD in another class, but do absolutely nothing about the brat's behavior! My cousin took the offer, so CD would be safe from this kid, but the whole thing sucks, since CD had to leave the teacher she loves, and her best friend, who is also in that class.
