Disturbing Incident at Plainview South Elementary School

An elementary school in Plainview, Texas, is under fire after a male student and his friends sexually molested a 6-year-old girl who was a classmate of theirs. The incident was captured on a classroom iPad used for educational purposes by a first-grader. The victim’s great aunt, Raquel Medina, claimed that her 6-year-old niece’s conduct had recently changed significantly. She inquired further as to what was causing the child’s issues.

Lack of Transparency and Inadequate Response

Plainview South Elementary has received major criticism and caused protests for its lack of transparency and inadequate response to the incident. The family members of the young girl have expressed immense frustration with the school’s lack of openness. The family claimed in an interview with the press that when they had inquired about getting more details from the school, the response that they received was “no comment.”

Allegations of Previous Incidents

According to Medina, this is not the school’s first issue or incident to take place. Administrators and Mrs. Hughey, the principal of the school, asserted that no other reports of bullying or “sexual occurrences” have been made this year. However, according to Medina, this is undoubtedly incorrect. After speaking with other parents from the school, she asserted that many guardians have spoken with Mrs. Hughey and other school employees directly to report bullying and other sexually-inappropriate incidents.

Call for Action

The victim’s family members are calling for action. “We want the teacher fired. We want the principal fired. We want the administration fired. Mr. Sanchez out of there,” Medina said during the live stream. On Sunday, Jameson Ellis, who is challenging Dan Crenshaw for the TX-2 congressional seat, issued a statement regarding the incident and protests.
