Dealing with Perp # 2
Dealing with Perp # 2
Well I spent last Wed. up in Hastings dealing with the issue of my 2nd perp, my freshman English Teacher. I was 14 in the fall of 1964, was felling really good about getting away from Father Ryan at G.A. I was starting a new school and this was going to be a great time in my life. Well the first few weeks where until that day Mr. S. made me one of his victims.
One day he got me in the corner of the room started groping me, as I tried to get away he put his other hand around my neck and put me in a choke hold.
"I am going to do this Tom if you want it or not" he said as he continued to choke me. I froze and he did his evil on me. I transfered out of his class and told my guidance councilor why but nothing happened.
That year was hell for me, because Mr. S. began to stalk me during the school day, showing up at my locker between classes or waiting for the period to end out side my classroom then following me to my next class. All the time acting like he was my best friend. When I joined drama club he started showing up there also. I was a Lighting Tec and was running the spotlight during rehearsal. He came up into the booth and when I was busy following the actor he started foundling me. I blew up in front of everyone yelled at him "leave me alone fagot and get the fuck out of here". That stopped 6 months of abuse but now ever one in drama club knew.
Years later the school sent MR S to the Mayo Clinic for treatment during the summer. Then in 1970 more than 10 victims came forward over a 3 months period. For some reason the school supernatant just let the abuse continue, he would tell the victims not to tell anyone about what happened. "We are working on it" they would say
That just blows my mind that the school would let victim after victim come forward and not stop the evil.
One day they had all the victims leave school and go downtown to the schools lawyers office to give their stories. Well Mr. S. heard about what was going down, went home, borrowed a gun from his neighbor and committed suicide. How nice it was for the school not to have to deal with this any more. Six years and how many more victims after he raped me did it all ended. Found out that my cousin was 1 of his victims in 1970.
Wednesday I went to talk with the school and the police dept to get info. The police said they dont keep records that far back unless it was a very serious crime.
"What about child sexual abuse" I asked "We do that now but back in 1970 it wasnt considered a serious Crime. We wouldn't have any records " the lady behind the window said.
No one gave a shit about the children back then. I got so angry I was near out of control when I left the government center. I did leave though, in the past I would have vented my anger on the worker behind the window.
No personel records on MR S at school either, only have to keep them 7 years. I can go through the school board minutes when I have time. I did have a good conversation with the supper and he asked why I was coming forward now. I told him about Father Ryan being my 1st perp and how I have been healing from that abuse. It was time now to deal with MR S.
I am so mad about how they didnt stop it after the 1st victim came forward in 1970. Mr. S was known as a sexual perp, who had been to the best treatment center in the country for sexual abuse and there was now new victims coming forward. Why didnt it stop?
As I look back on this, the only possible reason the abuse didnt stop was that the school wanted Mr. S to be backed into the deepest and darkest part of his world. The only way out for him was to put that gun to his head. The school didn't care about protecting the children, the only thing on their agenda was getting ride of Mr, S.and who cared how many boys had to be abuse.
I was hopen that I wouldn,t have to do war againest the school but when my uncle told me what happened in 1970 it tore me apart. No one worried about the victims.
The paper listed Mr. S. death as an accident, that's what the police report showed. That makes me think that the police where covering things up also. No help for the victims, just a neat little end to this for the school.
