GA- Parents: Cobb Middle Schooler Received Rape Threat On Computer

I guess the state residency law missed this stalker "sex offender" because s/he is IN THE SCHOOL not in the prohibited distance OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL. Well, I'm sure the legislature will jump in with some kind of law to protect kids on SCHOOL COMPUTERS, wonder what it will be?

2-5-2009 Georgia:

COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- Parents of a middle school student who received a rape threat on her school computer are calling on school officials to find out who sent the message.

The 13-year-old girl attends Tapp Middle School in Powder Springs. The girl’s parents said she was terrified by the message and they worry about their child’s safety.

“I know my child and she is shaken up. She was definitely shaken up by it,” said mother ____.

_________ said their 13-year-old daughter came home Friday from school with a disturbing story. Their daughter said when she opened a school laptop in her science class to work on a project, she found a threatening message.

“It said, ‘Hello, this is your stalker. I will rape you a month after you read this,’” said _____.

The parents believe the profanity-laced message in bold type was written by another student who accessed their daughter’s file after she failed to properly log off.

“For my daughter, obviously her safety is number one. And just knowing this happened by a student she is sitting with in a classroom every day,” said _______.

“If something was to happen to her and I knew this letter was out there and something was to happen to her, how could I live with myself,” asked ____.

The parents said they’re upset because the school did not immediately notify them when their daughter showed the threatening message to her teacher.

The ____s filed a police report and the school has opened an investigation, but the parents don’t believe school officials are taking the matter as seriously as they should.

“I’m very upset about it. And the lack of urgency by the school system, to get to the bottom of this matter is really upsetting,” said ____.

“Bottom line, she didn’t know who did it. She couldn’t think of anyone who would want to do that to her,” said _____.

The ____s said they are going to request their daughter be removed from the science class. ____ said she has a meeting with the principal Friday morning.

Channel 2 placed calls into the principal’s office and the Cobb County School System but the station has not yet received a response. ..News Source.. by WSBTV 2
