COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A 16-year-old disabled girl was punched and forced to engage in videotaped sexual acts with several boys in a high school auditorium as dozens of students watched, according to witnesses.
Authorities are investigating and no charges have been filed in the alleged attack last month at Mifflin High School. Four boys suspected of involvement were sent home and have not returned to class.
Also, the principal, Regina Crenshaw, was suspended and will be fired for not calling police, school officials said. And three assistant principals were suspended and will be reassigned to other schools.
Crenshaw had no comment Tuesday.
The girl was forced to perform oral sex on at least two boys, according to statements from school officials, obtained by The Columbus Dispatch.
Part of the alleged assault was videotaped by a student who had a camera for a school project.
School officials found the girl bleeding from the mouth. An assistant principal cautioned the girl's father against calling 911 to avoid media attention, the statements said. The girl's father called police.
Her father said the girl is developmentally disabled. A special education teacher said the teen has a severe speech impediment.

Everyone is afraid the mention the "cultural" angle. Columbus schools are inner city and the boys probably do not have good male role models. Somehow I am not surprised that there is a pack of 5-10 young animals in every inner-city school in America that would be prone to such a despicable act as this one.
Another typical day in the government schools....
Heck, I am a 5'4'' female and I would have tried to stop that crap. My purse probably weighed at least 5lbs when I was in high school and I would I could bring a couple of those jerks down with few swings against the head.

Don't you dare call the police 'cause I could lose my job. What a jerk! What parent in their right mind would acquiesce to this stupid, amoral person whose only concern is to save his/her butt and job and prevent this "Lord of the Flies" school from getting a bad reputation?
Does this incident mean that this school is on the list of "persistently dangerous schools" under No Child Left Behind? No? I didn't think so. Parents: the ball is in your court.
I know a quick and easy way to reduce that testosterone to near zero
I really would like to hear the rationale for not arresting them.
How has our society crumbled so completely? HOW?
THis was not done years ago!
IF it was, the teens would havebeen shot!
Animals!
My vote?
Kill them. I'll even pull the trigger.
Mifflin High School
Oh my God - did you see the school nickname or whatever is "Punchers"
I'm sure the NEA will immediately begin to remedy this after they've soothed their collective outrage over the matter.

Let's see. Does it involve a wall, a couple of nails, and a rusty razor blade?
You can bet Judge Greer were put on the case, he would review the tape and says her speech-disabled cries for them to stop were simply "reflexive sounds" from a damaged cortex.
That's right - - the sign says, "Profiency Week".
What did she do? Go to a party at the kennedy compound?
Those proud photos are from the school's website.
OMG! Just when you think America can't get any worse.
