Youngstown Ursuline High School

iambrutus

Screw Blue
  • very long story, but the TLDR version:

    player was seriously abused and hazed on a camp trip by 11(?) players, including stripped naked, sexually assaulted, beaten, held down on a bed, videos taken and shared across social media - coaches informed; did nothing. administrators informed after they returned home; did nothing - both are accused to tampering with evidence.


    the link to the full lawsuit:

    some pretty nasty stuff

    I'm almost 40 and I always hear hazing isn't bad as it used to be, it was worse back in the day......I never saw or heard anything remotely close to this. This wasn't hazing, these were attacks. I unfortunately know one of the families named and when I saw Ursuline and 'hazing' I instantly had a feeling they would be involved, and sure enough, they were.

    this simply wasn't hazing, it was physical and sexual assault and intimidation - i'm "ok" with hazing to a degree, hell i think it makes you stronger, but this was not even in the same category. I don't know anymore personally involved or at the school anymore, but i'm close enough to that area that my son has had interactions with Ursuline in the past.

    i'm not smart enough to completely answer this, but my gut says lack of parenting; lack of value of life

    Just sayin': Ursuline HS isn't an inner city Youngstown public HS. It's a high academic catholic college prep HS. Obviously the school's football program wasn't practicing what the school is supposed to be preaching.

    Mission Statement
    We are Ursuline, a college preparatory high school of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown.
    We come from diverse backgrounds in the spirit of St. Angela Merici and the Ursuline Sisters to be living witnesses to the wisdom and virtue of Christ and His Church.
    We form a family of faith, achievement, and promise, striving to be life-long learners and responsible citizens in a global society.
    Soli Deo Gloria

    That will be an expensive lawsuit.
    Fortunately for the victims (if they get a monetary judgment) the catholic church has "deep pockets" and fortunately for the taxpayers in Youngstown this is not a public HS.
