What happened to op's son wasn't just "harassment" - it was actually a form of sexual assault.
I AM wondering if you would think it was 'way over the top' if this had happened to your child - either son or daughter... |
Devinmom -
Actually, I do think it would be "over the top" if one of my kids were on either the giving or receiving end of this and it went to the police. I would like to think it could be handled without that. I believe it makes sense to allow the school to correct their mistake and make the offending child serve an appropriate punishment. If that means having a town cop come in and talk to the child, so be it. But there's no way that I'd march down to the police station and turn the child in without first speaking with the principal.
