The principal of a German school has revealed reports that pupils suffered horrific abuse, including being raped with a banana
Cases of abuse reportedly took place well into the 1990s at the Odenwaldschule school in Heppenheim-Oberhambach, Hesse. Current head Margarita Kaufmann told German newspaper 'Frankfurter Rundschau' about children being tormented in cruel rituals.
“It stretches the imagination,” she said, referring to personal accounts of former students.
The reports not only concerns horror abuse by teachers but also the “terrible abuse of pupils by pupils”.
AND IT INCLUDES THE SCORCHING AND SCALDING OF GENITALS!
Children apparently used their fellow schoolmates as punch bags and humiliated them in front of others.
It was so ghastly that one former pupil compared it with Stanley Kubrick’s controversial film, ‘A Clockwork Orange’.
Kaufmann said that there are indications that at least one previously abused former pupil had committed suicide by 1999.
A few students have described how a tied-up pupil was abused by schoolmates with a banana.
The head teacher said: “I ask myself how that can happen without the teacher hearing the terrible cries of pain”.
But the teacher responsible had idly stood there, according to ex-pupils.
There is suspicion that the teacher himself abused boys and girls at the school. The newspaper reported that the teacher’s name is Jürgen K. He was apparently employed at the school until 1999 and has allegedly married an ex-pupil.
According to the 'Frankfurter Rundschau', when accusations against former headmaster Gerold Becker first came to light in 2000, the man wrote to a former colleague who was willing to make a statement to attack the allegations.
The man also appears to have written in the letter about the woman who later became his wife. He picked her out as “the most suitable of the many beautiful and bright virgins in Oberhambach” and married her “quasi away from school”.
Jürgen K. is one of eight accused teachers who the public prosecution service are currently investigating
