Why sex assault veiled as hazing may be viewed as a ‘rite of passage’
By Mark Gollom, CBC News
Kyle Fraser, a former student at Toronto’s St. Michael’s College School, said the “toxic environment” at the facility is part of the reason he was forced to leave, and it’s why he’s not surprised by the recent allegations of assault and sexual assault.
“That’s the culture at that school. Those are the types of people that go to that school,” said Fraser, who attended the all-boys Catholic school from 2009 to 2013.
Fraser, who said he was verbally harassed every day at the school, said while there are good students there, the ones who excel in sports and academics would put down those who don’t.
“So, it’s a very toxic environment,” he said.

‘Workplace bullying a massive issue in the Island’
By By Ian Heath, Jersey Evening Post
Psychotherapist Alison Fox, who worked in Jersey for five years, said that 50 per cent of her client contacts in the past year were from Islanders, despite her moving to Dorset after leaving the Jersey Community Relations Trust.
Ms Fox, who set up the Dorset Anti-Bullying Service which takes cases from Jersey, is raising awareness of the issue of workplace harassment during Anti-Bullying Week.
She said that Jersey had a ‘massive issue’ with the problem.
‘In the last 12 months we have had 149 complaints, 75 of which came from Jersey. I know how much of an issue it is in the Island after working for the Jersey Community Relations Trust,’ she said.
