Callie is an American hero! I hope she will consider a run for public office!

+1. Nobody would be aware of fcps’s disdain for information security if not for Callie. An American treasure.

An American treasure? Stop! My sides hurt, (Callie? Jo-Anne? Elizabeth?) 🤣🤣🤣

Might be an appendicitis. You should have that checked out.

She said sides. Appendicitis typically presents right side only. Both sides, more likely a uti or costochondritis. Should still have a gp triage.

I suppose. Kidneys should be in the differential diagnosis as well. OP, how long has this been occurring? Sharp or dull pain? Any blood in your urine? Fever?

Probably an obvious question, but why has nobody mentioned Crohns?

Anyone who has interacted in any way with this woman knows her goal is to make life difficult for other people. I don't know why she gets off on making other people miserable, but her brain is apparently wired that way. If you look on facebook groups or reddit or here on DCUM, people have posted dozens of stories of her crying at HOA meetings about her rights being violated because non homeowners are allowed to buy pool memberships, school staff saying she came in threatening legal action against teachers before anything had even been done, FCPS employees saying she FOIAd hundreds of things a year and someone was assigned to handle her as basically a full time job because that's how much time it took. She loves to make others miserable and play victim.

So no, it wasn't a "trick". It was an "I will wear you down until you screw up because you are a poorly paid public servant who probably isn't the best at IT (or else you'd be off making twice the salary) and then I will gleefully gloat about how bad you are and how harmed I am and profit off of it."

+1. And there are so many other parents just like her that school staff and FCPS have to deal with. You parents are pissed and can complain about Callie and have every right too. School staff is stuck dealing with these }%>|>#{%>#%#} all the time and having to be professional and polite to these crazy, horrible people! For years!

Please take a minute to put yourself in school employee shoes and please start advocating for school staff to not be forced to tolerate this ^**%%#*+=*^ from ^*%#< like Callie.

And now that person is apparently charged with a smear campaign?

A judge ordered them to hand over the data. This is on the school, not on her.

Quoting myself because I have dealt with these systems.

Easy to call mothers crazy when you lie to them and gaslight constantly

1. It is the fault of FCPS for not properly monitoring their data and neglecting to provide sufficient training to their staff.
2. Callie Oettinger does not have the right to access and share our children's and families' personal information without our consent. Data is data, whether named or not. It belongs to us and our children.

THEY ARE BOTH GUILTY

I feel for all the kids who are caught up in this mess, having their private details posted online thanks to this parent. (The school shares in the responsibility but at least they didn’t post the information). We all know too well that nothing is ever really deleted from the internet. Imagine 10-40 yrs from now as these kids move into adulthood and try to join the military or run for political office. Damning details of things they were dealing with as minors will be discoverable. If you think this won’t have a long term impact on the kids whose details have been shared online, think again. The world is a cruel place and a parent just made it harder for these kids who didn’t ask for this.

This is seriously why so many special education teachers quit. There are so many disgruntled rude parents that can make special education staff's lives absolutely miserable. Special education parents have so many rights that it only takes a few angry parents to make a special education teacher's life a nightmare. Special ed parents can request an IEP meeting whenever they want so maybe the parent is mad at the speech teacher or the general ed teacher or just mad in general. The special ed teacher has to set up a meeting with the parents, the general ed teacher, the principal or another administrator, all service providers, and the parents advocate/attorney if they have one. Obviously this takes a while to coordinate. Then they have to meet with the parent and often get yelled at by the parent over things they have no control over. Meanwhile while they are at that IEP meeting the students the special ed. teacher, the speech teacher, the OT are supposed to be seeing don't get seen, so now other special parents are mad so they want a meeting too with the whole IEP team or they want those minutes made up but where is the special ed teacher getting this time from?

The FCPS employee was the initial problem here though. How many times are they carelessly sending our kid’s personal data to random parents?

You are ridiculous. This is not going to happen. She didn't steal the information btw.

As a special education staff, I experience parents and advocates like her who abuse staff and FCPS resources, and who focus on their own agendas, lie about experiences or staff comments, and treat meetings like war. I hope Callie is sued, punished, and treated horrible because she deserves it. She deserves it for this horrific act and for the way she has treated special education staff for years.

Families, please know that school special education staff deal with parents and advocates like her on a regular basis. These parents and advocates are manipulative, bullies, liars, and immoral. Please fight against the unethical and inappropriate behavior. Thank you for standing against her.

FCPS central office has plenty of issues, and are responsible for their inadvertent leak. Callie is horrific for taking, keeping, and releasing data and for the way she abuses and treats school employees. Only other parents can help establish a culture where the abuse of staff, abuse of FCPS resources. Only other parents can help establish a culture where the status quo of parents lying or distorting their experiences or demanding exceptions to rules for their own gain and agenda are not tolerated.

Signed,
Special education staff about to quit because of the horrible, lying, abusive, entitled, nasty parents that get away with it in FCPS.

If I knew who you were, you would be fired. School staff should not be posting here. You sound horrible.

Stealing = someone handed you something and sent you on your merry way. lol. Trial. Sentencing. This comment sums up the stupidity of this entire thread, and multiplies it by 50.

+100

There is a poster here who will not stop with the stupidity. Callie is not going to be on trial. No one can make her sign anything about the data. She has said she won't use it. The situation sucks and I'd be bothered but she is not a criminal and she is not going to jail.

Cheeezus you are stupid and you are making statements that are actionable. You know this site can be subpoenaed and your ip address discovered.

Personally, when a judge orders me to hand data over to a parent, I'm super careful about what that data is.

That didn’t happen this time, thank God. But fcps is a sieve, so this scenario is highly possible.

Especially when the last time it happened, the judge didn’t let you get your data back. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

If “so many parents” are doing this, is sounds like a systemic issue with the establishment. The school district (or more likely) the law requires certain concessions which the local school (or more likely) the teacher can’t reasonably accommodate. So the parents complain and get no action. So they complain more, and still get no action. Then they really complain and lawyer up, and then get blasted for being unreasonable. Then teachers quit, so the problem magnifies. The school says, we have no money for this, because we spent it changing Woodson HS to Woodson HS, so you’ll do the best you can. Parents grow angrier, teachers are more stressed. School admin helps encourage teacher by calling parents “Karen”, and that reinforces in teachers mind this is an unreasonable parent vs. mama bear fighting for her kid to get what they are legally entitled to and not getting.

What shocked me about Callie’s whistleblower piece is how many kids have lawyers. Sure, nova is its own animal, but when that many parents are lawyering up and getting fcps for outside funding, we have a big problem structurally that needs a major rework.

[Anonymous]

I'm a pp. The lawyers thing is terrible but necessary. The only reason my child didn't get a lawyer is because we were advised it was better to pull my child out of school and pay for everything out of pocket, including a private school.

We could have fought with lawyers, but it would have lost our child precious time.
