Can't find a relevant forum? I may even be in the wrong site but I'm incensed so looking for advice anywhere.
Basically, my 11 year old daughter has been accused of sexually assaulting a (stranger) boy of approx 14 or 15 years of age at their school.
It's ridiculous!!! but I was called into her school today because she had been bullied and was in tears. A boy and his friend had hit her apparently. No big deal so far, it's happened before. she's very small for her age and gets picked on quite a lot.
The teacher told me my daughter had gone to 'the safe room' to report bullying. But ended up being accused of pinching the boys bottom, and that had provoked the attack on her.
Ok, I'm her mum. But I do not believe it for a minute! It's absolutely impossible. she's a very small timid kid with a history of heart problems. She's a swot, in the top groups in all subjects. Why on earth would she invite trouble by touching a large boy inappropriately?
There has been no complaint made by the boy. The incident was not witnessed by any teachers. the only evidence of this 'sexual assault' is from an unnamed girl who supposedly saw it.
Now, I realise this may not seem a big deal. But to me it is. I've checked the schools policies and they have an 'equality for all' policy on all disciplinary matters. So I'd like to know how they would have handled the matter if a teacher had touched my daughter for example??
Right now I'm livid. I've demanded an appointment with the head on Monday. There is nothing funny about this kind of accusation, no matter who made it, and against whoever. I'd appreciate any advice please.
