Due to the overwelming response to this question I will make this brief. Contact the administators of your concern. If the answer is still a pat " we are handling it" go to the newspapers and sensationalize the hell out of it. This is exactly the situation I saw on the news last night, and it got results. Expose criminals and the incompetent for what and who they are. It's a shame but sometimes you have to shame people into doing what's right.

Good Luck, it's alot to confront
