   CHICAGO (WBBM) — A mother and father say their 15-year-old   
   developmentally disabled son was raped in a school bathroom – and   
   they say the Chicago Public Schools refused to say it happened, and   
   also blamed their child.   
      
   As CBS 2’s Irika Sargent reported Wednesday night, CPS tried to get   
   a judge to dismiss the case twice – the latest time Wednesday. The   
   motions were denied.   
      
   The parents wanted their identities concealed, but they have spoken   
   for the first time on camera – only to CBS 2. We want to warn you   
   that the details may be disturbing to read and hear for some.   
      
   “How the heck did that happen, in school,” the boy’s mother said. “I   
   mean, no one was watching.”   
      
   “We’d thought he’d be safe in school, you know,” the boy’s father   
   said.   
      
   The mother and father said their son was raped at least twice in the   
   bathroom at William J. Bogan Computer Technical High School, 3939 W.   
   79th St. His attacker, they believe, was another teen at the school.   
      
   They say it came to light after their son confided in a classmate.   
      
   “He told her what happened, and then she went and reported it to a   
   teacher,” the boy’s mother said.   
      
   Since then, the parents say Bogan staff and Chicago Public Schools   
   have fought them at every turn – refusing to admit the attack   
   happened or take steps to stop such a thing from happening again –   
   and even blaming their son.   
      
   They say while meeting with the principal, she asked their son to   
   act out the alleged crime.   
      
   When asked how that conversation went, the boy’s mother said, “It   
   was terrible.”   
      
   “So she told him to ‘stand up and show me how it happened,’” she   
   said. “And then, ‘Well, did it hurt?’ I mean, that was – what kind   
   of question is that?”   
      
   The parents did not want to press charges against the other disabled   
   teen, believing he needed help. But they are suing CPS, contending   
   the district failed to protect their son.   
      
   They said an action was in place for both students requiring an aide   
   to escort each one throughout the school building – but that didn’t   
   happen.   
      
      
      
   After they filed suit, their attorney, Carolyn Daley, said she   
   discovered the same boy had a history of aggressive behavior and   
   sexual misconduct – including 27 conduct violations.   
      
   “He was found in a bathroom with two other students from the cluster   
   program, or special education program, at Bond Elementary,” Daley   
   said. “One of the students was bent over in front of him with his   
   pants down.”   
      
   Daley said even after her client was raped at Bogan, CPS didn’t take   
   steps to stop it from happening to others.   
      
   “They didn’t even bother to tell his teachers or his aides that he   
   was accused of sexually assaulted another student in the bathroom.   
   They carried on as if nothing happened,” Daley said. “Well, what   
   happens when you do that? He ended up sexually assaulting another   
   cognitively disabled child in the bathroom at Bogan High School   
   eight months later.”   
      
   “He told me he was hurt. ‘I’m hurt’,” the other child’s mother said   
   in the 2018 story, “and he mentioned blood. I mean, I went crazy.”   
      
   CPS hired a private law firm, calling the deposition testimony of   
   the boy in the latest case “self-serving” and saying they had no   
   duty to protect him in the bathroom.   
      
   “The most vulnerable spot for a child at a school is in the   
   bathroom,” Daley said.   
      
      
      
   The trial starts next week.
