LOTS of schools runs into these problems. Hell, in the UK most boarding schools are like this and for all we know, that culture has permeated Africa. The most prestigious boys' school in Canada, Upper Canada College, recently went through a scandal like this. Unfortunately, you can't watch everyone all the time.
JMO, but the woman is so damn self righteous and the first to cast stones, that I only hope it opened her eyes that this can happen to anyone, anywhere.
