The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Department issued a press released on 9/28 on the arrest of Miguel Velasquez Velasco on child sexual assault charges. The press release invites more questions. We have not heard anything pubicly from Spotsylvania County Schools.
- Has Spotsylvania County Schools informed the parents of other students that rode this bus?
- Since buses have cameras, were these incidents video recorded?
- Which bus number did the assaults occur?
- Who discovered the assaults taking place?
- How long did it take for the school division to react after this was discovered?
This event occurred under the watch of Superintendent Clint Mitchell. There are many recent reports of teachers being arrested for assault or student attacking teachers. It seems to be growing. We are unaware of any actions taken by Mitchell to keep students and educators safe.
We are curious as to why the Sheriff’s department explicitly state the immigration status of Velasquez Velasco. Past press releases by the Sheriff’s Department do not list the immigration status of everyone they arrest. This has us wondering if there is more to the story. If he is legal, there must be employment paperwork and background check information on Velasquez Velasco. If he is not legal, the school division has a much bigger problem.
