Hate to say it but a lot of that seemed typical actually at least where I'm from. One thing that I will say was crazy that was brought up to me by my mom was back in kindergarten, this is cringe worthy but this is true and will delete because of the nature of the story but one of my classmates that was either in the same kindergarten class or my brothers first grade class had molested some girl in the same class during the schedule day naptime.
basically, what they say to kids about dont let anybody touch their private parts. had to take both of those kids to child services and had to call a parent teacher meeting to info them of what happened and to make sure no other kids got touched. But then again, that school was more like gladiator school for kids if you ask me. It was off the chain. A lot of things. Unfortunately, i wasnt one of the kids that was on the safe side of things. Guess that reflects the time period with the late 80s, early 90s, Crack, the inner city and the ultraviolence. A lot of the students didn't come from good homes. That's one of the reasons why I ended up going to catholic school.
