So before you call the police to report a crime (ie, make an allegation), you have to call a psychologist first?
DP. I’m fairly sure the police would not be my first stop if my 5 year old reported something like this. Keep in mind that we do not know exactly what happened. I’m assuming it involved very inappropriate language by a 5 year old who is exposed to the language at home. I don’t actually think “attemped rape” is possible between 5 year olds. So my first priority would be that the school address the discipline issue as needed.

When my child was in pre-K, a slightly older child asked/told my child to perform a sex act. My child said no and got a teacher. When I learned about this, my main emotion was relief that my child knew to say no because we'd had those conversations at home, and deep concern for the other child. I asked that the kids be separated, that the school ensure the other child meet with a psychologist, etc.
What I didn't do, because I have a sense of proportionality, is to take to every Listserve and bulletin board in the tristate area to claim "attempted rape."
Sometimes scary things happen, but there are multiple CHILDREN involved in this story and nothing OP has said in their post suggests any sort of empathy for the other child involved. OP also hasn't clarified what they want the school to do beyond what is already being done according to the principal's email.
