It is not likely that he just went to the detention center for a couple of months and then was sent home. He is more than likely on probation which includes mandatory counseling.
I could understand being scared, but aggravated and appalled? How about concerned for his mental health? Should we just lock him up and throw away the key? And what if he is getting counseling, and doing well even - should he be shunned and harassed at school because of his prior history? Whatever happened to second chances? It saddens me that you are so "disgusted."
im actually shocked that you said he deserves a second chance... he raped someone... and it was premeditated... he had the sense to use the date rape drug on another child...
im totally agree with the OP shocked and appalled barely scratch the surface for me with this...
ITA. I'd be terrified for my own kids, too! I'm so sorry!  At least you know though now!

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
Wow. 
I'm sorry I stated my opinion. I never dismissed anyone concerns over the feelings of the victim. I feel for him, more than you can ever know.
Maybe it's the nature of my job... I truly do believe that almost everyone deserves a second chance. Premeditated or not, I don't know anything about his background or mental health status and if he's getting the help he needs, he could completely turn his life around... isn't that worth something?
I never expected such a harsh response. I won't forget this.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
most sex offenders are recidivists, regardless of age.
laws that have been proposed to provide mandatory inpatient treatment post-detention have been shot down because of civil liberties issues.
i think it's sad.

It doesnt matter what his background is. There is NO excuse for what he did. Maybe if you knew someone who had been raped you would see things differently.
People who rape others in this manner have a serious mental illness and IMO they dont change...they are wired wrong. They go through counseling and learn ways to deter their urges but cold blooded, pre-meditated rapists are always that. That's why rapists come out of counseling or jail and rape again.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
Honestly I'd be fine with the rapist never seeing the light of day again.
Let him parents home school him or send his for private lessons.
Disgusting that he's allowed to go on with his life as if nothing happened while the other boy will live with this forever and have to miss playing time when this POS is around

 If this happened to your child I can guarantee you would not give a HOOT about his mental health . and YES he should be locked up . if he has the capacity to do this to someone he will do it again
yeah I agree.

I'm not trying to change your mind either. But think about it from a different point of view for a minute.
If your daughter was 13, maybe 14, and a 15 year old boy gave her the date rape drug and than raped and sotomized her, you would be ok with him going to juvenile detention for a few months and than coming back home and playing football and resuming normal everyday life as if nothing happened??? While you are dealing with a daughter who is emotionally and mentally broken, crying all the time, you are taking her to counseling all the time to help build up her self-esteem and explain to her that not all men are like that.
And you sitll think he should be given a second chance???
I feel for the guy who is 21 in bar who brings home a girl from a bar who gets into a bar with a fake ID says she 21 and is really only 17 and mommy and daddy get mad about it and accuse him of rape and he is dragged through the mud for it. I dont feel for a pre-meditated rapist who preys on others weaker than them. Thats why they are called predators...that's what they are.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
Thank you 100% agree.
Headoverheels, you are rightfully being flamed. The individual who perpetrated this will never be a 'normal' member of society. And to be concerned about his mental health just shows (again) how upside down this country is. I've said this before on this website and i'll say it again, that I feel the country as a whole is upside down. Criminals are the new victims. Really?
WAKE UP HE'LL BE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR NEXT.

OMG...I would be LIVID!!! If this teenager has the ability to pre-meditate and rape another boy as a minor I am terrified what he will do as he gets older. He is obviously very ill and his home situation is not helping.
These are the kinds of cases where they need to be locked up and throw away the key but unfortunately that is not how our f'd up justice system works. In their eyes, he served his time and I'm sure is getting mandatory counseling and probation. I still dont think that is enough.
I feel horrible for the boy it happened to. God help someone if they ever touched or hurt either of my kids like that. He would be MIA!
ETA: The thing that is more troublesome is the school district is so scared to get sued that they are allowing him to participate in activities like football. Just shows how f'd up the world is.
Sorry...this kid belongs permanently locked up in a psych ward.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!! Keep a good eye on your kids.

I actually know someone this happened to. He served jail time and had to register as a sex offender.
To the OP,I would feel the same way in your position.

I would be scared, apalled and disgusted. She has every right to be, as does anyone else that comes into contact with this boy. He is a rapist- teen or adult. I would absolutely not want to live any where near him.
Would I be concerned for his mental health, absolutely not. My children and other innocent young children- Yes!
I know a family of young girls that live across the street from a teen boy who raped a toddler who his Mother was babysitting. Would I give a c#$p about this boy's mental health if that was my toddler who was raped???? No, I'd want to kill him!!!
I am a caring and empatheitc person, but when it comes to someone who does such a horrible thing to a child, I say LOCK THEM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!!!
ETA: To Op, I would tell every neighbor who lives on your block. Maybe you can all keep an eagle eye out to protect your kids.

What do we even do.
I'm only going to address this part, because all of us arguing over who should be angry at this kid, and who isn't and flaming other posters, isn't going to change anything.
If I were you, I would let all of my neighbors know so that you can all look out for each others children on the block. I would also encourage each of my neighbors in writing to lawmakers to see what can be done to supply this information to neighborhoods in the future. Even if it took me writing a letter, passing it out and having people sign it and mail it off.
I know that I would want to know if this had happened and be able to be extra diligent in keeping my eyes open for not only my own kids, but other kids, and even adults in my neighborhood. If more people speak up and do something about not being notified, perhaps change will happen.
That's the real issue, being notified, no matter what age the person is, should occur. Because it doesn't matter if the rapist was 17 years and 355 days old or 85 . If they committed a crime like this, (putting what should happen to the general him/her aside), the public should be notified. Age in this case, should not be factor-that's my opinion anyway.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
How old is a child in middle school ?
12-13-14 ?
It is positively frightening that a child has the KNOWLEDGE and the RESOURCES to obtain date rape drug, has the KNOWLEDGE of how to use it, and the KNOWLEDGE of what to do to his victim.
This child is broken.
I fear that he will do this again because there is so much anger and violence in him at such a young age.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
Honestly I would consider moving, that is how horrifying I think that this situation is. This person, albeit a child, is a sex offender and he will strike again, it's just a matter of time. I do NOT believe in second chances for sex offenders. There is no rehabilitation for sex offenders in my opinion. If moving was not an option, I would explain to my children how dangerous and scary this boy is, and tell them that they must never ever talk to him. I would also get my children one of those emergency use cell phones and have them carry it with them whenever they will be in the vicinity of this boys house. I wouldn't want my kids to live in fear but I feel like the alternative is even worse.
And really, how irresponsible of social services to let this boy live in a house where he is virtually unsupervised. He should be living in a group home where he is constantly under the supervision of an adult.

You would be surprised what children are exposed to. I have had 8 year olds in my class who could describe sex acts I have never heard of. Not exaggerating in the least. I have seen 5 year olds cuffed and carted to a psych ward because of things they have done and said. It is pathetic. In my heart of hearts, I know these kids cannot be rehabilitated. The future is very clear - dangerous and clear.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
I would be horrified and sick to learn something like this. I can understand why the OP is so upset and concerned. Sex offenders have an extremely scary rate of recidivism. I completely understand being appalled by this entirely situation.
I have to ask, though... If he didn't have to register and you weren't officially notified, how do you know what happened? Did you do any independent research to make sure you have the story accurate?
ETA -- I don't mean you have to hire a PI or anything -- just curious if you researched court records or if you are taking someone's word for this story. (Court records may be sealed, of course, if he's a minor.)

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
i am sorry but that is a violent crime in my book and i don't care if your a minor the neighborhood should be notified (no name given just specifics) and if you figure out the person then so be it. Karma is a b i a t. It is proven that the majority of sex offenders will attack again. I would even say most likely this kid will do something even more evil.

Re: I am so aggravated and appalled.
You have every right to be aggravated and appalled. I would contact your local politician to see if you can get legislation passed to notify your neighbors that the boy did this. I would start a petition and see what you can do.
ETA: I agree with Kara - how did you find out. I would never want to be responsible for spreading a rumor like that if it was not true....
EDIT 2.
According to http://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/nsor/faq.htm
An individual who is adjudicated as a youthful offender or juvenile delinquent is not convicted of a crime, and his or her records are not available to the public. As a result, he or she is not required to be registered in New York State. However, a juvenile offender convicted of a sex crime is required to register.
