🔵 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 24, 2026, Incident – Dear Elementary School

The Richmond Police Department is aware of concerns circulating on social media regarding an incident involving a student at Dear Elementary School.

On March 24, 2026, a report was received regarding allegations that a “vaginal examination” had been conducted on a child at the school.

An officer conducted a follow-up investigation, which included speaking with the child’s parent and school administration.

Based on the information gathered, the following was determined:

* The child reported discomfort and itching in a sensitive area while at school.

* The child was escorted to the nurse’s office by school staff after the child was attempting to remove her clothing in a hallway.

* While in a private restroom area within the nurse’s office, the child indicated the area of concern.

* A brief visual observation was conducted by school health staff to assess for irritation or potential medical concern.

* No invasive procedure or physical examination was performed.

* The observation was limited in nature and conducted in response to the child’s complaint.

The Richmond Police Department found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in this incident.

We understand that the nature of this situation is sensitive, particularly involving a young child. However, it is important to clarify that the information currently circulating publicly does not accurately reflect the facts of the incident.

This matter appears to be related to school procedures and parental communication, not criminal conduct.

The Richmond Police Department encourages anyone with additional concerns to contact us directly so that accurate information can be addressed appropriately.

We remain committed to transparency, child safety, and maintaining the trust of our community.
