GIRLS SEXUALLY HARASSED IN SCHOOLS, SURVEY SAYS
Sexual harassment of girls is rampant in the nation's schools, ranging from written notes to attempted rape, according to a survey.
"There are assaults going on right in front of the adults' eyes and the adults aren't intervening," said Nan Stein, the lead researcher.
The survey, being released today, was based on a review of 2,000 responses to a mail-in questionnaire included in last September's Seventeen magazine.
Though the survey isn't a scientific study because respondents weren't randomly selected, Stein said the findings match parents' complaints, lawsuits and reports from school administrators.
