'Abuse on abuse': Parents' anguish over school's handling of sex abuse
READ MORE
The details of the case have been largely concealed by suppression orders prohibiting publication of the name, location and type of the school, as well as the name of the woman and her role within the school.
But in an extraordinary revolt, parents of affected students now want the school to be named, claiming educators need to be held accountable for their failure to properly care for the teenagers.
“Stating the school’s name makes the situation real, makes parents aware that this school does exist and that, as parents, they should not be ignorant of the fact that it too could happen in their child’s school,” one mother said in an email to Department of Public Prosecutions solicitors seen by The Herald.
It’s understood NSW District Court judge Christopher Armitage will hear an application to lift the orders when the case returns for sentencing in September.
Some parents allege their sons received inadequate support, in the form of counselling, from the school, and that they weren’t communicated to properly about developments in the matter.
