But a May 2, 2025 meeting—captured on audio—shows FCPS investigator James Mackie was briefed months earlier by teacher Zenaida Perz about a 17-year-old whose abortion was allegedly arranged and paid for by school social worker Carolina Díaz without parental notification.
Superintendent Michelle Reid sent a letter last night acknowledging the claims but only did so after national outrage; no immediate investigation, public statement, or parental alert followed the May briefing.
The recording, edited with student identifiers removed, directly undercuts FCPS’s narrative.
This isn’t “swift accountability”; it’s a bureaucracy sprinting to contain blast radius.
FCPS sat on allegations of a coerced medical procedure on a minor and potential criminal violations until exposure forced their hand.
Enough spin—issue subpoenas, place every implicated official on leave, preserve every email, text, and purchase record, and put this before a grand jury.
Parents were kept in the dark; now the lights come on.
This is not transparency.
It’s a cover-up unraveling in real time.
They told parents yesterday they just learned about the allegations.
