TX - 21 arrests in gang rapes of 11yo girl, Cleveland, 2010

[JeannaT]

11 year old was described as being in advanced placement classes as well. I am not sure what that is supposed to prove. It certainly doesn't prove she was well supervised by her parents. Although it doesn't sound that she was doing any better in that group home than she did at her hone, since she run away. I presume that's why they put her back with her mother.

She couldn't have been in AP classes - those are high school classes. In AP classes, at the end of the course you can take a standardized test and get college credit.

I presume that's why they put her back with her mother, too, she was profoundly unhappy in group foster care. And by that time her mother had moved away from Cleveland so the fear that she would be harrassed publicly was lessened.

But now this has happened, and she attempted to get her picture and story out in her new town through KHOU. They were the ones who fuzzed out her face, although ideally they shouldn't have covered the story at all.

Sad sad sad.

Just registered my grandson for 6th Grade AP classes in Middle School next year. They may be mis-named, but the counselor described them as "Gifted" classes (he has been in gifted classes since 1st grade).

I just deleted my long message.

Tikki, no you didn't register your grandson for 6th grade AP classes. "Gifted" is what you probably did, not AP. There are children who are in "Gifted" from the time they are about 4, but AP is high school only.

In my middle school, they weren't called gifted, but Pre-AP classes for those on the track to take AP in 8th grade or in high school. "Gifted" was only for elementary school aged children.

Pre-AP classes in elementary school are used to prepare younger children for AP classes in HS. They are frequently and legitimately called "AP" classes in the elementary schools. Yes, they do exist. It appears that our victim here was enrolled in that kind of prep.
