I am appalled that the five football players at Juanita HS who sexually assaulted a special needs boy with a broom handle are allowed to transfer to other schools in the district. If these boys are old enough to be tried as adults for murder, then they should be old enough to be tried as adults for sexual assault. Their names should not be protected, they should feel the public shame of their crime.

If it was my child that was the victim I would be blasting the names of the attackers all over the place. Stop protecting the guilty and start protecting the innocent.
