Abuse Charges Rattle Oprah’s African Boarding School / Mollygood

The first and thankfully belated scandal of Oprah’s privately funded, $40 million South African school is upon us: A dormitory matron is being investigated on charges of physical and sexual abuse.

The woman, who has since been removed from the campus, allegedly grabbed a girl by the throat and threw her against a wall. Other alleged charges were that she swore and screamed at the girls, assaulted them and had sexually fondled at least one of them, according to Rapport newspaper.

And the worst part is, even at the will of a violent child molester, the girls were probably much safer at the school than they would have been in their shantytowns. Remember that the next time you’re bummed on America, hippie.

Poor kids - glad they got rid of the abuser. I must admit though, some of the comments on thir article are hysterical! I thought there were good chin jokes here!

Oprah is too far away to control that school - I think it will always be trouble for her.

Classic example of what happens when you spread yourself way too thin trying to win a nobel peace prize and alla dat sh*t. What do you expect opening up something thousands of miles away in a dangerous area where you can't know what's happening?
