Indecent exposure in school

If a male teenager is found guilty of indecent exposure in school (towards a teacher, not student) would you expect him to be excluded from the school?

I heard of this happening at a local school and even though the boy has been found guilty in court and (not sure what the sentence is) he has remained at school since it happened and the school brushed the whole thing under the carpet. The teacher involved moved to another school. I don't know all the full details but cannot believe the boy has been allowed to stay at the same school without any accountability from the school too. He denied the incident throughout and by the sounds of it didn't tell anyone other students so non of them know it happened, some staff do but not many.

If my child was at the school and in contact with someone found guilty of a sexual offence I'd be very worried.

Surely if a teacher had done it (to student or staff) they would lose their job?!?

I’m not surprised.

If that's the full extent of things of course that's hugely unfair to the victim, but remember "you've heard", so be cautious about how accurate this version is.
I work in criminal justice and hear people talking about cases I know and commenting online and often it's wildly inaccurate.

For some reason boys are allowed to sexually assault students and treat women and girls in a misogynist way with no repercussions.

This is the end point when a government policy makes permanent exclusion almost impossible.

I am not surprised by this story at all.

I've worked in a school where a pupil raped another pupil, because the incident was off site, he was still allowed in school.

Safeguarding women and girls is forgotten in schools.

I would be 100% not surprised. In my experience, schools always, always, prioritize the wants of sexually offending boys over the safety of female pupils (and it seems staff).

They deny it of course, and hide behind the flimsiest of excuses. But their actions say otherwise.

Schools do seem to brush these incidents under the carpet. At dds school a teacher started a relationship with a child. Clearly against the law was the talk of the classroom and staff room they posted pics on social media 😳. School did absolutely nothing.

Their preaching assemblies about “moral courage” and doing the right thing rang rather hollow after that.

Its systemic misogyny.

HTs have their hands tied by government policy on exclusion.

How come?

I don't know much about school nowadays but in my time we had places for pupils who weren't suitable for mainstream school. Don't they exist anymore?

Long story short, but no.

The laws around exclusion are very tight and specific.

PRUs do exist but they are full.

My daughters have been exposed to 9 months of mysoginistic abuse at their school in west lothian- Scotland. The school protect the perpetrators and blame the victims. Today one of the boys indecently exposed himself. This is after I have warmed the school about the risks to all involved. There are lies and cover ups to protect boys. Girls are blamed for speaking up and police refer to it as 'high jinx' and 'pack mentality'. I will not remain quiet on this.

He should leave school. Teens can be horrific- there was a case of a 14 year rapist boy a few days ago. A boy like that shouldnt be allowed to stay in the same school or be around girls until he has served a severe punishment or been rehabilitated.
