On Jan. 18, two parents informed Florida’s Charlotte County Public Schools School Board that a male student has engaged in “inappropriate conduct” with several girls at Punta Gorda Middle School and is still attending the school and they are demanding action.
“More than one child has been affected,” Larry Benjamin told the board, revealing that his daughter was one of them. “That student is still attending the school.” Benjamin also shared the story of how another girl at Punta Gorda Middle School (PGMS) had been bullied relentlessly in 2015. Another of his daughters tried to protect her ”but things did not get resolved.”
