Why didn't childress get in trouble?


Didn't anyone notice that Childress didn't get in trouble for what he did to Rita? He admitted to Garfield that he had sex with Rita, and the school didn't investagate that. The school was putting acquisations on Garfield, but no one did anything about Childress. I find that somewhat racist if you ask me.

But I thought the principal was more concerned with the accusations regarding Garfield's personal involvement with Rita, than the murder allegations?

Im guessing it was a rumor and wasn't proven. I doubt Rita would want to tell, seeing that her whole life would be put out on the table. Everyone would mos def know that she had sex with all those people. And Childress only told Garfield, If things played out differently and Garfield didn't die. I doubt he would out Rita like that. He cared about her and the last thing he wanted to do was Embarrass her.
