What was so serious about this incident? Kids, horseplaying in the dressing room. Been going on for years. He mooned them, they pretended to stick him with a broom. Even the kid said he was not assaulted or injured. This is nothing but race baiting trying to lead up to an election. It is a done deal, move on

The last post was supposed to be 2021 not 2024. A comment on the JP about the incident posted by SuperHeroDad says "This superintendent needs to be fired. This situation appears to not have been taken seriously back in April. I personally reported a concern to him 2 years ago regarding a situation with one of my children (not nearly as serious as this, but it was important to me). I received the same, nonchalant type of response. Needless to say, my children no longer go to Wilkes County Schools"

I think some of you need to go back and read the post in the Journal Patriot and see if you are stirring up another incident just for racist publicity. The boy said he was not assaulted, he was horseplaying with his friends in the locker room. Read it

A member of the community that started the Petition Wrote "On April 22nd 2021 a 15 year old boy was assaulted by a group of 5 boys at Wilkes central high school. The superintendent Mark Byrd and the principal of Wilkes central Dion Stocks wrote it off as horse play. This is not horse play."

We didn't look for money, there's the difference between some. Money doesn't justify what happen to the little man.

As Donald said "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and wouldn't lose any voters. We defend the rich also. One thing I've learned living in Wilkes is the poor take care of their own. Metal is right on. I had 3 brothers and we fought all the time. I knew how to defend myself and I did. No one bothered me, you pop them in the mouth once and they leave you alone forever. One thought they would bully me, didn't happen. I wasn't raised to be a candy arse.

Three underage students were given six months supervision by the courts. Two adult students were charged with simple assault. Due to the records being expunged, their possible convictions are not known. I guess money talks... three of them got 6 months of supervision, and the other two were convicted but it's already been expunged? Has that ever happened in any other sexual assault case?
And as far as I can tell, the principal Dr. Dion Stocks was promoted!
I guess that's how the county works... help cover up crimes for the rich and you'll be rewarded...

They tried to sweep it under the rug. Several people should have lost their jobs and the students should have been charged with SA.

The facts show that the child reported it to the principal, but the principal decided that sexual assault was "horseplay" and didn't bother reporting it until the parents got involved.
Worse, the schools actually tried to sue the father for talking about it!
Now we can see that the courts sided with the victim, so he was never lying at all. And sadly, the family probably spent more than $90,000 on fighting them.
What I don't understand is why the principal wasn't criminally prosecuted for his role in trying to cover it up.
Anyone want to bet that the assaulters here were a bunch of rich kids? That would explain why the principal and JP did their best to cover it up, and then downplay it...

"Superintendent Mark Byrd said none of the money came from the school district, but Byrd didn't know if the settlement increased insurance premiums."
Sounds like someone needs to be more worried about how to prevent something like this from happening again and not be worried about "Insurance Premiums". Tells you alot if I say so myself.

The truth bothers Anti, nothing racist about it, the kids father was not in the scene until money came into the picture. Stop yapping about things you do not know anything about and you won't have to continue to make things up.

The fact that Foxy thinks it's OK for a bunch of kids to sexually assault a child as long as the child is black... says a lot about Foxy...
