Lawsuit: Mo. Girl Expelled For Making Rape Claim

(CBS News)

A southwestern Missouri school district has denied accusations in a federal lawsuit that officials failed to protect a middle-school girl from being raped, calling the lawsuit "frivolous" and saying the girl "neglected to use reasonable means to protect herself."

The girl, identified as a 7th grade special education student, was raped twice during the course of two school years, according to the lawsuit filed July 5 against Republic School District in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. The lawsuit was first reported by the Springfield News-Leader newspaper in Missouri Wednesday.

FRIVOLOUS!?? I've been told by school officials that THEY are in charge of "protecting" the children when they are in school and parents have no right to take "protection" of their children into their own hands (as in going to the school and whipping the dogcrap out of the 12th grade bully picking on the 80lb freshman). NOW, they say that the special ed kid "didn't take reasonable measures" to protect herself??? I wonder what they would say if her PARENTS took some "reasonable" measures to protect her, like a couple of rounds through someone's head?
