Nothing like make an already terrible situation worse. I cannot believe the behavior of students, parents, teachers, and anyone else who sported the t-shirts, which were printed locally, by an upstanding community member. What are you people saying to the boys who performed the lascivious act? Worse, what are you telling the victim? There are many good people in Norwood, but the rest of you are giving the place a very bad name. Shame, shame, shame on you!

I don't think there was a personal agenda; they were close friends, after all, and have been for many years. Could it be that the parents were trying to resolve this in the manner best for their son, with his best interests in mind? Could it be that having reported the incident to the superintendent and several board members immediately, these parents expected them to act in accordance with the law and report it? I find it sad and am disgusted by the fact that the only person who is on the firing line here is one who did the right thing.

Lizardhead,Your statement is fair and well taken. I didn't misread; however most don't realize the reason it took several weeks (close to six I think) before charges were pressed is because [the parents] demanded for the firing of the wrestling coach and also for him to step down from the school board, and if the coach would do that then [the parents] would not press charges! The coach did not step down, so they THEN pressed charges. I can't imagine waiting to hammer out a deal with the school board or admin. and taking five or six weeks to do it, or at all for that matter![The parents] were going to sweep their own son's assault under the ol' Maverick rug! It is as if [they] had a personal agenda with the wrestling coach: If I don't get my way we are pressing charges. Our town and school is damned if they do and damned if they don't. It is all very unfortunate and I truly feel for the alleged victim, and no excuses for how other children have reacted. It's just all a big mess to say the least.

It would appear that some of the residents of Norwood still do not get it. As a friend and ex-Norwood resident once put it, they should take down the "Welcome to Norwood" sign and replace it with "Deliverance". I'm starting to believe him.
