| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | Veiled,
Don't try to do this alone; you will not win. That's what the school board is counting on.
Get the media involved; schools and school systems don't like negative publicity because too often more people step forward with stories of the same.
Get the therapist involved. With a letter from the doctor, the absences will have to be excused, especially with anxiety and depression. There is a known condition called "school anxiety" that is just that: anxiety about going to school. The school cannot ignore it; they will get into huge trouble if they do. And, get the therapist to insist on a home teacher, one that will go to your house (or some other place agreed upon by every one) that will teach her the lessons she will miss by not being in school.
Get a lawyer involved. Just the threat of a lawsuit should wake the school system up. If it doesn't, don't back down. Sexual harassment is a real thing and too often in schools is it underreported for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is adults not believing or taking it seriously.
The comment of "it should've been reported Friday" is just a tactic to scare you off; don't back down. There is no statue of limitations in the country for sexual offenses and the same holds true for schools (they are not above and beyond the law).
Call the school and make an appointment to see the principal (if you haven't already). Popping in to the school often doesn't get results we wish for; the principal has meetings, conferences, observations, etc. already planned (parents where I work aren't allowed to just "pop in" for conferences with teachers either because we are so busy with grading, planning, meetings, etc.).
But don't go alone; take your lawyer (if you already have one). That way nothing is agreed upon that could be used against you later.
Then begin up the chain of command.
Good luck, Veiled...we're here for you! |

That SOB needs sorting out. Stupid ass school system where a young male can sexually harass anyone. God help them if it were my child. In fact it wouldn't be me they would have to worry about, Anthony would be the one. I'm with you, take none of their bs otherwise this bully continues his rampage and whose child will it be next. I wonder what would the authorities say when he becomes big enough and has the dutch courage to act on his threats. Obviously, its his upbringing and his parents should have their asses kicked as well but then I guess they don't care too much. He wouldn't act this way if they did.
Hugs to you and your baby. You tell her that there are a lot of people, who she doesn't even know are on her side. She does not have to take this s%$* from him or anyone - ever!!! |

| | Her father took her. He has her transfered and is dealing with it now his way. She is in a new district and lost funding for her there.
Hubs talked to him about the shit and what needs to be done. The details of her sperm donor involved is in PTSD Chat.
This chapter is closed, I could not hack it and failed. All this did was give her more time at home with me to tell me she hates me and I lie about her dad...
