“(I) think always, ‘Oh my god, when they grew up, what’s going to be better or going to be worse?’ Because right now, it’s very bad,” Nemeth said.

One victim revealed she tried to tell a school counselor about what was happening. Documents show the teen said the counselor if she’s under 18, she doesn’t want to know.

“If you’re trying to get help from someplace and you don’t get it, I think that’s totally horrible,” one neighbor said. “You should be able to get help no matter what age you are.”

Channel 9 reached out to the District Attorney about the allegations of the counselor not listening to or reporting the alleged abuse. The district attorney said the counselor was interviewed and claims the girl never came to her.

A school board member said any conduct that could be harmful to a student whether in school or online is supposed to be reported to authorities right away.
