Some Montgomery County parents want answers after students were attacked in what they call ‘freshman hazing’ incidents.
It happened over the past two days at Gaithersburg High School during what is known as ‘spirit week’.
ABC 7’s Jay Korff was told that during spirit week some students go around with sharpies and write the letter “f” on freshman.
Students say some of their classmates take advantage of this right of passage by roaming hallways – looking for freshman – especially the ones who run or resist.
Some say the students take things too far.
One parent, who did not want to be identified for fear of retribution against his child, said his son was attacked by nine or 10 kids. The group held down his son and wrote on his face and clothing with permanent marker.
A spokesperson for Montgomery County Schools says the administration’s number one priority is student safety.
He says they take these kinds of threats very seriously, but the administration has only received one complaint this week about this problem.
