CALVERT COUNTY, Md. — A growing number of parents and educators are speaking out in the wake of several violent incidents in Calvert County Public Schools, expressing deep concern over what they view as inconsistent responses by school officials and law enforcement. The call for change follows initial reports of two students — a 17-year-old high school girl and a second-grade girl — who were assaulted in unrelated incidents earlier this year. Now, more families and even teachers are coming forward with similar stories, alleging a troubling pattern of inaction and inadequate protection across the district.
More Parents Come Forward
Following publication of the original report, multiple parents reached out to share their own accounts. One parent described how her daughter was allegedly assaulted in an unprovoked attack while eating lunch at a county high school. Though the incident was reportedly recorded and names of witnesses were provided to school administrators, the principal allegedly refused to interview the students involved or enforce the school’s cellphone policy. According to the parent, the student who initiated the assault was only asked to stay home for the last day of school, with no apparent disciplinary mark on her record. Meanwhile, the school resource officer reportedly discouraged the family from pursuing charges, stating he advised the other student to file charges in return.
Another parent raised concerns over a recent bus incident involving her nephews. Despite attempts to engage with the school and a social worker, the family remains dissatisfied with the response. “What are they doing to keep the other children safe?” she asked. “This one child’s right to a free education should not outweigh the safety of everyone else on that bus.”
Teachers Caught in the Crossfire
It’s not just students who are reportedly affected. A district employee — choosing to remain anonymous — described what they view as a growing crisis among staff who have allegedly been assaulted by students, sometimes with severe injury. “Even preschoolers have been responsible for attacks that sent teachers out on workers’ comp,” the employee shared. “The district claims to be focused on teacher mental health, but the reality in our classrooms tells a different story. This is why teachers are leaving.”
Updates From the Initial Case
The family of the 17-year-old student assaulted after exiting her school bus has shared more recent developments. Since the attack, the student has reportedly received death threats from anonymous burner phone numbers, leading to law enforcement involvement and a decision to send her out of state for safety. She is now receiving mental health care, undergoing orthopedic evaluation for her injuries, and continuing her education through home teaching. The family says they are using this time to focus on her physical and emotional recovery before her junior year.
The alleged assailant is reportedly no longer enrolled in the school and is being charged as an adult for felony assault. The legal outcome for the bystander who recorded the alleged attack remains unknown.
Pattern of Inaction?
In a separate case involving alleged harassment at another county high school, a local family says their son endured months of threats, bullying, vandalism, and physical danger, both on campus and at home. According to the family, law enforcement and school officials acknowledged the behavior but cited legal limitations or lack of immediate proof as barriers to disciplinary action.
Despite numerous reports, mediation efforts, and requests for administrative support, the family says their child has experienced ongoing anxiety and declining academic performance, with few signs that those responsible have faced meaningful consequences. The situation reportedly escalated to the point where students were allegedly threatened with weapons, and parents felt compelled to take additional security measures at home.
“The student’s academic performance and mental well-being have suffered as a result,” the family stated. “We feel helpless trying to protect him, and despite numerous pleas, the school has not shown that it takes these threats seriously.”
Seeking Solutions
Maryland’s Safe Schools Act and Calvert County Public Schools’ code of conduct both outline clear consequences for harassment, bullying, and physical assault — including suspension, loss of privileges, legal referral, and behavioral interventions. Yet families and educators say enforcement is inconsistent and reactive at best.
Community members are now calling for stronger transparency, accountability, and support systems — not only for students who are victims of violence but for the teachers who often bear the brunt of behavioral disruptions. Some parents are considering legal action or escalating their concerns to the state level.
Support Resources
Local support systems include the Maryland Youth Crisis Hotline, Safe Schools Maryland, and the National Bullying Prevention Center, along with school-based mental health counselors and behavioral intervention programs. But families say without action from school leadership, those resources fall short.
“This district is in crisis,” one parent said. “We need more than just words — we need real change to keep our kids and teachers safe.”

Just tell them to stop and they will, or so the unionized indoctrinators and Demoncrats believe.
Don’t be surprised that children are violent when you teach them they have a common ancestor with primates, that their gender can be changed on a whim and a male can marry a male or a female can marry a female and that they are merely animals.
