""The parents of an 8-year-old girl are suing a Los Angeles-area private school for allegedly failing to take action against a "Kissing Club" that was started by older students who bullied and sexually assaulted their daughter. Pantea Kipnis, the child's mother, said in a statement to The Times that she came forward to raise awareness so other families wouldn't suffer.""
""Just because you send your kids to a prestigious private school [doesn't mean] they will necessarily be safe there," Kipnis said. At the time of the alleged bullying and sexual abuse, the child was a 7-year-old student at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, a private college preparatory school for students in pre-K through 12th grade.

The parents of a 7-year-old student filed a lawsuit against Sierra Canyon School alleging failure to act after older students formed a "Kissing Club" that bullied and sexually assaulted younger girls. The complaint describes name-calling, peeking through a bathroom stall while the child used the bathroom, and pressure to commit sexual acts during school hours. Several 7- and 8-year-old female students reportedly gathered in bathrooms to participate. Two 8-year-olds allegedly pressured and forced the then-7-year-old to kiss and touch the genital areas of the older girls. The family seeks unspecified damages and attorney fees, and the child is no longer enrolled. The mother went public to raise awareness.
