Maureen Dowd’s column on Wednesday in The New York Times talks about a predatory group of young freshmen boys at the elite private Landon School (tuition $28,800 yearly - for high school!) in the wealthy Washington suburb in Montgomery, Maryland. These young men started a fantasy sex league game that posted descriptions of the girls online. You can read Ms. Dowd’s op-ed here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/09/opinion/09dowd.html?hp.
In fact one of Landon’s elite graduates was George Huguely who is accused of killing his former girlfriend Yeardley Love. What’s missing from Ms. Dowd’s article is that the murder of Ms. Love is Intimate Partner Violence (domestic violence).
Intimate Partner Violence touches everyone even the best, the brightest and yes the rich.
