The investigation was conducted covertly for two weeks, then a first complaint was received by the police from a student who she said was sexually assaulted by the same boy. Since then, several more students have contacted the police.
The chairman of the Tel Aviv Municipal Committee, Eyal Lebanon, said that “this is a serious case of several girls who were injured and parents whose greatest concern came true. Currently all systems are mobilized to help girls and families. It is being handled by the police and we hope the police will conclude the investigation as soon as possible. “He said,” The girls’ parents were updated yesterday by the school and all the parents were updated later. “
“We are all shocked and shocked,” said a parent from the school’s class committee. “The incident has serious consequences, and we are still having a hard time digesting it. The thought that such an event, God forbid, could happen to our children does not let up.” The parent said that in coordination with the high school administration, the school staff is working to address the raped student.
The parents’ frustration increased when they learned that the suspected student had moved to a high school where their children were studying amid suspicions of problematic sexual behavior and violence at his previous school. “We learned that the abusive child came to us from another school due to violent problems, and instead of solving the problems there they sent him to the school where our children are studying. This issue must be examined,” said one of the mothers.
In a letter sent by a school principal in which one of the students was injured, he wrote to the parents: “Complaints were filed with the police and we organized to deal with it in a sensitive, inclusive, embracing and attentive way to an incident that took place outside the school but entered here naturally.” He added that he convened all the teachers and with the help of the psychological service they are prepared to deal with the situation and help the students.
