PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release 02/26/2009
As the father of the victim in the District 204 case, I wish to respond to the
recent statement of school superintendent of District 204, Dr Daeschner..
My child was sexually assaulted by two classmates and th
en humiliated and
intimidated, thru the relaying of the incident and pictures IN SCHOOL, and then
physically assaulted IN SCHOOL. We met the Naperville Police detectives at
Gregory Middle School on the morning of November 13, because an assault occurred
there. Does anybody really believe that we, as Mr Daeschne r claims, “expressed
a desire for the school to not have anything done to the students involved.”
Does anybody, who is a parent, REALLY think that could have been our reaction
that morning?
We have been asking for a transfer of the offenders from Day 1. We had been
unsuccessful with repeated attempts to meet with the Superintendent and District
personnel and finally advised Board Members in January.
In his refusal to meet, along with statements, including the e-mail last night,
we have been provided a long litany of excuses from the superintendent for
months, and each one has been debunked publicly:
1. It was contended initially “nothing happened here”. They now know from the
police reports and the resulting charges for both off campus and on-campus
assaults, what happened and where. Jack Cann a, the District Attorney, has
stated "The question is 'has there been bullying in the school building or in
connection with school activities?'" Daily Herald 2/12/09. The assault and
batteries, which occurred both off school property and in the classroom, by the
same offenders, resulted i
n criminal felony and misdemeanor charges. Again,
there has been a nexus of criminal activity, which includes actions taken INSIDE
THE SCHOOL
2. It is contended by Dr Daeschner that our “policy doesn't allow us to act”,
and “The public is asking for something that is not in the policy, so we have to
listen to (Canna)” Daily Herald 2/12/09
Mr Canna confirmed during the Board work session Monday evening, that they had
sufficient existing policy and "broad powers to transfer/assign students to
other schools." Further "The Board has authority to assign students to the
various schools within its District. Such decisions simply can't be arbitrary”
The board acknowledged, “We have the authority to move a student”. We hope they
will act, while they continue to address the policy issues they have identified.
3. Dr Daeschner issued a press release 2/23/09, and Mr Metzger announced at the
Board meeting that a Civil No Contact Order- available to victims of sexual
assault - obtained in civil court against the offender - had been obtained - as
if that has absolved either of them or prevents them from acting. The District
or School Board is not a party to that order.
It does not say “the offender belongs at Gregory” as the superintendent was
quoted in the Daily Herald Monday night. It does not order the school to do
anything. Only the offender. It orders the offen
der to stay at least 100 ft
away from my son. It is the only protection my son currently has until the
board acts. No action the board would take with their existing power to
transfer a student would violate any court order. Only the school board has the
authority and jurisdiction to transfer=2 0a student. Stop with the litany of
excuses Dr Daeschner.
We know better and we expect better.
It is an outright shame that District 204 continues to make excuses for its
deplorable failure to act positively in this situation, including extending the
simple courtesy of meeting the parents of the victim. In fact, when Dr
Daeschner finally accepted a phone call, his response was : “What would we talk
about?”
Do really we have to explain anything further?.
