[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 97737, member: 3353"] Well, I don't know whether you saw the Oprah thing where the girls in Oprah's school were being sexually abused by the headmistress? Oprah fired the headmistress and defended the courage of the girls who had made the report. She acknowledged the isolation the "whistle blower" feels unless the incident is handled appropriately ~ and again, praised the girls for the courage it took to come forth. The thing is, when these kinds of things happen to any of us, it changes the essential who we think we are. That is why a teacher, or anyone who works with children, should never cross that line. For the sake of the child's self-concept. So, it was very important that your daughter trusted you enough to tell you this was happening to her. She does not deserve this kind of "how you fill your jeans is more important than who you are" treatment ~ and certainly not at the hands of a teacher. And how embarrassing to have such a big thing made of it, making that sordid, I-must-have-done-something-to-deserve-this feeling an even more palpable thing. Perhaps finding information relative to that news story would help your daughter feel stronger? Barbara [/QUOTE]
