The boarding school located at Rhode Island had a dark past where an investigation conducted in 2015 showed that sexual assaults by staff and peers took place in the past. 40 former students have already come forward.
The questions are:
- When did the school learn about these cases?
- When did they stop?
- What kind of precautions are made to prevent them form happening again?
Until these questions are answered the school cannot move forward. For now it is safe to say that it wasn’t fun to be there as a student in the 1970’s, but we can only wonder what former students of later times might say in the future.
