[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thx for helping me feel less overwhelmed. It was a camp counselor that reported. They asked my daughter 'really?' And she said 'no.' And yet still reported smh. Yes I talked to her about words have consequences. The meeting is tmrw. A lawyer told me that even if it's unsubstantiated, I will lose my job as a teacher (I am a mandated reporter also and would always follow protocol to ask follow up questions bc children say crazy things sometimes). So I really need it dismissed. I understand ppl can make projections about my daughter. She is close with grandpa and uncles, just being a 12yo boundary pusher. Thank you.[/quote]

What kind of lawyer?  If they don't find evidence that you abused her, you would not lose your job in the state where I teach.

The protocol is not to ask follow up questions.  The protocol is to report to CPS and let them decide whether there is enough information to proceed.  [/quote]

Family lawyer said this for DC. Unsubstantiated would be there's no evidence it happened but also no evidence that it didn't happen.

Mandated reporter in DC is to ask 5 questions - what happened, when, where, with whom, child's relationship to that person.

You can't report every single thing a child says, especially in urban schools. We have human teachers to be discerning. If it was just about key words, we could just use bots. [/quote]
