It seems with all the bad publicity that the number of incident reports are increasing, not decreasing. Sad.

Ranks closed as word spread Tuesday in Sunray about allegations of hazing in a middle school locker room in the small Panhandle town.
“Things have been very hush-hush,” said Monica Dodson, a mother of two boys at Sunray High School. “It’s a very quiet community. You don’t really hear much.”
The Sunray Independent School District announced this week that school officials and the town’s Police Department are investigating. Sunray Police Chief Tommy Pickering said state Child Protective Services investigators are also looking into the matter.
Parents of students at Sunray Middle School, along with a television news report, said the recent allegations of misconduct at the school involved sexual harassment by eighth-grade football players.
Two Sunray parents who have children at the middle school said they were told the problems began in the locker room and escalated from minor roughhousing and towel popping.
One parent, who declined to identify himself for fear that his son will face retribution from classmates, said eighth-grade football players locked seventh-grade football players in the locker room and turned off the lights. He said some of the eighth-graders then proceeded to place their genitals on some of the seventh-graders’ faces.
The parent said he learned the details of the incident from another parent who has a son on the seventh-grade football team.
Another parent, who declined to identify himself fearing community backlash, said his son, a seventh-grader, was in the locker room when the alleged sexual harassment occurred.
