<\/div>\nInfuriated parents protested outside the school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Parents are protesting against a school in the US after first-graders allegedly coerced their 6-year-old classmate into performing a sex act as they recorded it, even though a teacher was there, according to Fox News.<\/em><\/p>\n The news outlet<\/a> further stated that parents and community members are angered by the situation at the school, and the number of people gathered to protest against the school is growing.<\/p>\n Family members of the girl involved are also planning another protest in the evening, as this unexpected news has shocked the locals.<\/p>\n “A 6-year-old was exposed to things that even adults would have a hard time overcoming. This is trauma at its worst, and it has a trickle-down effect because it affects everyone around them,” one of the protesting parents said.<\/p>\n The alleged incident happened at Plainview South Elementary on April 19, and it only came to light when a parent spread the word on social media, the Plainview Herald<\/em><\/a> reported.<\/p>\n The authorities first acknowledged the assault a week later, following a public outcry.<\/p>\n An older cousin of the 6-year-old girl who was assaulted said she noticed a shift in the young girl’s behaviour after the traumatic event.<\/p>\n “She’s in distress; she’s like, ‘My stomach hurts. I just want to lay down,'” the cousin\u00a0told KCBD<\/em><\/a>. “You can tell something’s wrong with her. So they said, ‘What’s going on? What happened?’<\/p>\n
