Good evening, im mark ockerbloom. Vanessa and im vanessa welch. Parents are outraged because they learned of this incident through the facebook post, not from the school. Mark Investigative ReporterKerry Kavanaugh is live in hyde park and Boston Police tell us they were notified about this on november 3rd. November 3rd. The reporter yeah. They were notified november 3rd, but we have confirmed today that boston failed to notify the Massachusetts Department of secondary and elementary education, thats the state agency that regulates charter schools. They are supposed to do that within two days of the incident being reported. Meanwhile, many parents contacted fox 25, very concerned, they had secretary of Homeland Security questions and not nearly they had so many questions and not nearly enough answers. My stomach churned. I was sick to my stomach. How did they let this go on. The reporter this mother of two who didnt want us to show her face as she was first
