Vibeke Lei Stoustrup, director of Rebild Municipality acknowledges that there have found things of a sexual nature take place between the students at the learning center Himmerland, but she stresses that the municipality does not believe there is the basis to qualify it as abuse.
– In the material we have from the police and on the basis of it, the parents have told, so it seems as if there has been a sexual assault. How can such a thing take place at a school in Rebild Kommune?
– I have not seen the police report, and we have not received a knowledge from the police, where we can say that it’s about abuse, but about an inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature, and we take this very, very seriously.
– of course, It is our responsibility to ensure that the children in our schools are under sufficient supervision, so an inappropriate behavior between the children can not find the place, and we must of course note that we have not had in all cases, and I would like to very much regret. Parents must, of course, feel confident to entrust their children to us.
– When there are so have found a abuse or inappropriate behavior, if we must call it that – place, how can it be that the violate and the victim still has to go in the same class?
– I can’t go into such a enkeltsag.
– What do you do to ensure that it does not happen again?
– We immediately assured us that we have the supervision with the children all the time, and so we have launched a number of initiatives pointing ahead. We have a number of experts in the field, which starts a course in the school for January, which is about the here greater awareness, there must be in relation to the children’s group and sexuality. We need to, in recognition of the fact that we thought that we had enough supervision, but had not it, to say, that it is not safe, that it is enough with more supervision. We need to give our employees some more tools.
– Why have you not done these things before?
– I know that it is a opmærksomhedspunkt at the school, and the school also seems to have had close supervision with the children, and are astonished that such an incident can take place, but it must we have to note that it has been able to.
– Parents must, of course, feel confident to entrust their children to us, says the director in the Rebild Municipality of Vibeke Lei Stoustrup.
– If one party feels that the other has done something against one’s will, and are uncomfortable to go to school with him, how can it be, that you do not do something about it?
– I can’t comment on a specific episode, but in general it will always be such that we will be very responsive opposite the parents ‘ wishes and concerns in relation to whether the children have a safe school day. Some of the grip we have, of course, is that we have different classes, or we can make holddeling in the classroom.
– But will not move any to a different school?
– Now we’re talking again not about this specific case but in general. If not there is a situation where we know that there is no criminal or other, as formally demonstrated, so we have no legal basis to move a student to another school.
– the Parents of the boy, which they see as the victim, has got to know that they can simply move their son to Years, if they are dissatisfied. Is it fair that it gets handled on the way?
– Again, I can’t comment on the specific case, but I can say that we could never dream to act in a situation like that by saying that one can just move her child.
