Carmel Hazing

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

The parents of a former Carmel High School freshman who was the victim of alleged hazing say their son told school officials and nothing was done.   They spoke with the media this afternoon.

Although they did not say exactly when the attacks began, the parents of the victim in the Carmel High school hazing attack say there were more incidents than what has been reported.  They asked not to be identified in order to protect their son?s privacy, but their attorney Robert Turner says the 14-year old former student was physically grabbed, held down and anally penetrated.

They also say the son did inform a Carmel coach, but nothing was done.  They also say their son is on an emotional roller coaster and is undergoing counseling due to the attack.  He has also been taken out of school.   Four former basketball players have been charged in the case with misdemeanor battery and criminal recklessness.
