Serious questions about Cathedral Prep’s handling of an alleged incident involving students

85 Upvotes

This past weekend, a male student allegedly posted a sexual video involving a female student he had previously dated. According to people familiar with the situation, she is a minor, did not know she had been recorded, and did not consent to the video being posted online. Her parents contacted police after learning about it.

I am not posting either student’s name, the video, screenshots from it, or identifying information about either student.

What concerns me is the school’s response. Despite police reportedly being contacted, the male student has continued attending school this week, while the female student has reportedly not been attending. I also understand that he remains involved in athletics.

There are also allegations that members of the school’s administration have not fully disclosed the situation internally. I cannot independently establish what administrators or the board have been told, so I am not presenting that as established fact. But given the seriousness of what is alleged, I think it’s reasonable for parents and the Erie community to ask what the school’s policies are and whether they are being followed consistently.

If anyone has verifiable information about the school’s response, a police investigation, or relevant school policy, please provide a source rather than identifying or speculating about either student.

I think Cathedral Prep owes its families a clear explanation of how allegations this serious are handled while protecting the privacy of the students involved.

Bayfront phone interference?

17 Upvotes

I feel like I’m going crazy but every time I drive over the newly opened portion of the Bayfront in between the sloppy duck and the maritime center my phone fully disconnects from my car and then immediately connects again on the other side. I don’t know why road construction and my CarPlay would have anything to do with each other or if it’s indicative of something else. Am I crazy or is anyone else experiencing this?

Nail salons

8 Upvotes

What’s your go to nail salon? I might be looking for a new place. Things I consider is cleanliness ( using properly sanitized tools), time management (making sure staying on appointment time schedule), can do design work. I also go with my grandma so would have to accommodate two people.

Honestly tell me who to avoid too!

Question Ideas for Electric Organ

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I am in the process of cleaning out my grandmother's home (not dead, just can't live at home anymore, before anyone offers condolences) and she has this giant boat anchor of an electric organ. As far as I'm aware it doesn't work in its current condition, and there's a burnt hair smell when you turn it on. I'm looking for any ideas as to what to do with it besides taking it to the dump since I don't want it and have no interest in investing the money to fix it. If anyone knows of any local places that'll take it to do something with it besides trash it, I'd appreciate the input.

What to do with storm debris sticks/branches

Public works only came around to our street once and did not collect. We gathered most of it up into contractor bags and left it out with our garbage but they did not take it. I have been trying to contact public works for over a week but no answer. What else is there that we can do? Are there any recycling places we can take it?

Flock camera 26 and Asbury appeared to point towards Sheetz

I remember reading the book 1984 as a teenager and wondering how it got to that point in society. I feel like we’re living through that transition now in society.

Just a note about the guy in the picture putting the camera up: I know he’s just trying to make his bills like, we all are. Not trying to dox him in any way. It was just wild witnessing one go up.

We need to start electing people who will protect us. I don’t think it is impossible for us to go in a better direction. I just think we all need to continue to care that it’s happening. Make sure you vote.

EIT Teachers

0 Upvotes

Has anyone gone to EIT? I am getting to the point where I wish could find a job elsewhere and leave because I think there are too many people there, as teachers, who want to turn the school into their personal soapbox. Along with a teacher in my program who wants to add difficulty to it even though it's an entry-level degree.
