Learning that your son might have been sexually assaulted or trying to bring his attackers to justice?
Like headmaster Leslie Graham last week, no one wants to believe that aboycould have been raped byother boys.
The only place where Anne doesnt experience any victim-blaming is during therapy.

And thats only because her therapist would rather put the onus on her than Taylor.
He actually asks if Taylor engages with her.
But that would just mean no support for Taylor and no punishment for the boys who attacked him.
It happens more than you think, Anne tells the reporter.
The school wants to hide it.
The police will ignore it.
I shouldnt have to beg people to care about my son!
But will this send Taylor further into his hole of pain and self-loathing?
Meanwhile, over at the Leyland School, Leslie is indeed trying to close out the Taylor Blaine problem.
Those disciplinary measures she assured Anne had taken place last week?
Will it be white co-captain, Eric Tanner, or African-American co-captain, Kevin LaCroix?
As the headmaster explains to Coach Dan, she doesnt want to get into things with the LaCroix family.
First of all, it appears this woman has police detectives in her pocket.
Much of Erics screen time tonight is used to illustrate how conflicted he is about his sexual orientation.
But thats all he wants to do kiss.
Its possible he is experiencing confusion about what happened with Taylor or just his own feelings.
At this early stage of the season, its just too soon to know whats what.
