At Ballard High School in Kentucky, a predator roams free among our students. It has come to light that Colin, a fellow student, assaulted a 14-year-old freshman during a KUNA event. In a shocking display of negligence, Ballard High School gave Colin a one-day suspension. To make matters worse, his own mother, an employee at Ballard High School, has brazenly dismissed the gravity of the assault by telling the victim’s friend that she does not care.

This is not just a personal grievance; it is a failure of the educational institution to provide a safe environment for its students, a place where they should be nurtured, protected, and respected. Allowing Colin to continue attending Ballard High School without facing appropriate consequences is a betrayal to all students and a threat to their safety and well-being.

The story has been publicly shared on TikTok by user @aero.rntz, highlighting the urgency and injustice of the situation. The lack of disciplinary action raises disturbing questions about the priorities of Ballard High School's administration and their commitment to safeguarding student welfare.

Accountability must be established, and more stringent disciplinary measures need to be enforced not only to bring justice to the victim but also to deter such incidents in the future.

We are calling on the administration of Ballard High School and the Jefferson County Public School district to take immediate and appropriate action. This includes a thorough investigation, support for the victim, and necessary measures to prevent further incidents.

Stand with us in demanding justice and ensuring the safety of all students at Ballard High School. It is time to make our voices heard and to hold those in positions of power accountable for their actions. Please sign this petition to make our schools safe sanctuaries for learning, not breeding grounds for fear and silence. Together, we can make a change and protect future generations.
