The mother of a 5-year-old female kindergarten student at Santa Fe Elementary school in Cleburne said two boys sexually assaulted her daughter on Thursday in one of the schools bathrooms. The mother said her daughter told her that the same two boys have also sexually assaulted at least four other female students at various times throughout the school year.
...
The daughter, the mother said, told her that a boy in her grade and an older boy went into the girls bathroom and turned the lights off. The older boy allegedly held the girl down while the younger boy did stuff to her, the mother said.
The daughter told her mother that the same boys did the same thing to her the week before Christmas break and that she saw them do the same to at least four other girls on various occasions.

In another article about these incidents, it is stated that the boys are five or six years old. They of course will not face any charges due to their age. CPS has taken over the investigation.

OP
It's quite possible that these little boys have been victims of abuse, themselves.

I hope they get to the bottom of this soon.

A young boy was molesting the girls at the center and it came to be known the boy's parents often engaged in sex in full view of the boy.

I hope all the children involved in these incidents get all the help they need.
It truly breaks my heart that the girl who spoke up kept silent at first, and that none of the other girls spoke up.

(36,290 posts)6. Kudos though to the little girl for speaking up.
Took alot of courage for her to do so. If she hadn't the boy would probably have continued to do what he was doing and not get the help he needs. Plus, just as important, the girls who were victims need counseling in dealing with this.
