Police have not confirmed the nature of the assault, which they said happened last week.

Police requested supervision for an Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School student that was allegedly assaulted last week off school grounds, reported Nassau County Detectives.

Detectives reported that police were called Wednesday to record a report of an assault of a student. Police said the assault occurred at some point last week. The nature of the assault and the identity of the student have not been confirmed by police.

Plainview-Old Bethpage Superintendent Lorna Lewis said in a statement Thursday:

This is a matter that concerns an alleged incident that occurred outside of our schools and was reported to us. Our fantastic staff at Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School responded in a caring way to take care of the student’s need, and reported the matter to the appropriate authorities in full accordance with established school procedures.

There are no further details at this time, according to police.

If this is true, why hasn't the school district notified the parents, and it should go out to all parents of every school age child in the district.

We've updated the story to include a statement from Superintendent Lewis. The assault took place off campus.

What does the school district have to do with anything other than the child reported it to a school official? Maybe the story line should read "Plainview child assaulted, incident reported to POB School Officials". Without any more info, this isn't a story. As far as the first line reading "Police requested supervision", that means that the responding officers requested their supervisor (Sergeant). I get the impression the person writing the article just copied the info off the police log.

The definition of STOP in the driving world is " the complete cessation of movement".Read More Sound like many people think STOP signs mean 1. Slow To Observe Police or 2. Slightly Touch On (brake) pedal. Time to go to traffic school online at www.oltep.com. Relearn what you forgot from Driver's Ed. Stay Safe

Stop means stop. Just like stop signs, where it seems like the local definition is to slow down toRead More 30 mph. You STOP, and look. Then go. I have seen kids having a tough time crossing Jamaica Ave because of this twisted definition of STOP. If anything, this is a good way to relearn what should of been taught in drivers ed. When I moved to Plainview, people at a stop sign would signal the driver that got there first to go. Now it's a race to the stop sign and fly by it to avoid having the other guy go first.
