[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two weeks ago my daughter was distraught when she got home from school. She finally shared that a boy groped her.[b] She said she told a teacher and it wouldn't happen again. [/b]But....

She was very distraught. She has problems with depression and seems significantly worse since this incident. She refused to go to school for two days. She is adamantly opposed to me letting the school know.

But from looking at her text messages, it happened again right before Thanksgiving break.

I'm struggling to know what to do. I don't want to break her trust (because I'm worried she won't share with me in the future), but this is a bigger thing.

She also very private and anxious. And not currently seeing a therapist (I'm trying to change this...)

Any advice is appreciated. I suggested telling  her i could have the the school therapist talk to her because it's affecting her (and then it would hopefully get investigated), but she said she wouldn't talk or go to school.

I could push that route, but I'm not sure if it would close her off even more.

Teachers are mandatory reporters. There should be a record of it. I'd follow up with the principal to see what steps are being taken to make sure the boy is never near her [/quote]
