AT MY CHILDRENS SCHOOL, AN INCIDENT OCCURED WHERE A GIRL
WAS SEXUALLY HARASSED CONSTANTLY BY A FELLOW STUDENT, SHE
TOLD 3 TEACHERS, MOM AND THE PRINCIPAL. DESPITE THE FACT
THAT OVER 10 WITNESSES CAME FORTH INCLUDING MY CHILD,
SITUATION WAS OVERLOOKED BY STAFF, MOM WAS TOLD THAT THE
WITNESSES WERE LYING BECAUSE THEY WERE THE CHILDS FRIEND
AND TREATED VERY DISREPECTFULLY. THE NEXT DAY THE
HARASSMENT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. SHE TOLD A CLASSMATES
PARENT (MYSELF)WHEN I WAS VISITING THE SCHOOL, SO I CALLED
MOM. MOM CAME UP TO REMOVE THE CHILD,WAS CALLED INTO THE
OFFICE BY THE PRINCIPAL AND TOLD THAT THE CHILD WAS
SUSPENDED FOR DISCREDITING A TEACHER AND NOT TELLING THE
PROPER AUTHORITIES. (BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME) WHEN MOM
PROTESTED SHE WAS VERBALLY ATTACKED BY THE PRINCIPAL AND
THE POLICE WAS CALLED ON MOM. THAT DAY MY CHILD TOLD ME
THAT THE PRINCIPAL, THE TEACHER AND A GYM TEACHER HELD A
MEETING IN THE GIRLS ABSENCE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PERP
(WHILE HE LAUGHED), STATING THAT THE CHILD WILL NOT BE IN
CLASS ANYMORE BECAUSE SHE FAILED TO TELL THE PROPER
AUTHORITIES. WAS THIS CHILD'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY VIOLATED?
(DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER)MY DAUGHTER SAID THERE WAS ALSO A
MEETING WITH THE CLASS, WHEN SHE WAS ABSENT CONCERNING
THIS CHILD. YET NO PARENTS IN THE SCHOOL WAS NOTIFIED OF
THE INCIDENT OR THE OUTCOME. WERE OUR RIGHTS VIOLATED?
SHOULD WE AS PARENTS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF A SEXUALLY
ASSAULT HAPPENING WITHIN THE CLASS, SCHOOL? ALOT OF
PARENTS ARE UPSET ABOUT THESE MEETING WITH THE CHILDREN
WITHOUT PROPER CONSENT AMONG OTHER THINGS.
