The parents of a student who attended a private Celebration Christian school say the state needs clearer rules and more transparency after alleging in a lawsuit that their daughter was repeatedly sexually abused beginning at age 4 by a classmate.
The case has exposed what the family and experts describe as a troubling gap: when the child accused is too young to face criminal charges, there may be limited ability to ensure intervention or alert another school to serious safety concerns. Law enforcement and mental health experts say serious sexualized behavior among very young children cannot be dismissed as simple curiosity, especially when allegations involve repeated, coercive or developmentally advanced acts. The lawsuit, filed March 9 in Osceola County Circuit Court, alleges the child was sexually abused by another student her age over two school years. The parents also claim their daughter was expelled in retaliation. The school has denied in court filings that abuse occurred on campus and has also denied expelling the girl.
The civil complaint accuses CDF Celebration LLC, doing business as Creation Village World School, of negligence, negligent misrepresentation and causing loss of parental consortium. The family is seeking damages of more than $50,000 and a jury trial.
Too young for charges:
The family says the girl disclosed the alleged abuse on…
A 4 year old was assaulted by a classmate and not someone on the registry. Did you hear that Florida? Now rollback your sex offense laws and registry while focusing on the truth for once.
Where were the teachers? Where were the parents? Why wasn’t the child in question spoken to originally and then paddled if they even came close to doing anything inappropriate to the other child? Oh yeah…corporal punishment is against the law essentially. Parents are no longer responsible for their own children. Teachers are to busy trying to induct children as opposed to teaching them.
Now we can watch the genius State of Florida come up with some totally absurd rule that makes more problems to address this issue.
You know for years we’ve been saying that children as young as eight have been put on the registry. Now Florida wants to say, hold my beer and watch this!!!! How low can we go?
This is truly a situation where the individual who made the allegation and the others involved don’t know what’s going on or have the ability to understand as opposed to a 12 through 17-year-old person.
I have to think this is parent against parent by using their child as the tool against the other child. Could be wrong, but this is possible.
Accusations of sexual harm are the most powerful weapons the U.S. has created. They are invulnerable to missiles, armor, or just about any other defense, legal or otherwise, and when launched, are almost guaranteed to hit paydirt: destroying people while also assuring an almost certain large financial payout. Sadly, friendly-fire incidences seem to be the only recorded use of this weapon.
The only recourse we have left is to surrender and abandon this soil for lands where these weapons cannot be wielded to the same effect. The U.S. is apparently not socially advanced enough to deal with complicated issues in an intelligent manner: using the hammer of the justice system and civil litigation to solve all problems. We simply can’t play nice together in the sandbox, apparently.
Hmm. My understanding of Florida politics is that those younger than 18 are too stupid to make their own decisions regarding sex and sexual activity. That nothing can be done to the accused 4/5 year old here is in line with that.
They also openly appear to believe that there’s no such thing as a false accusations of sexual assault, regardless of fact or circumstance. That block checked.
Perhaps they should consult Lauren Book on how to handle this conundrum.
