[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go out of my way to thank the person from the school who called you.  Yes, they were just "following procedure" but I'd be sure to thank them for doing their job.

And I'd have a hard time calling the police on them.  But your kid sure knows now not to go off with grammy anywhere. [/quote]

Absolutely.  Thank the school and the specific person who caught this and called you, and shout out the praises to the rooftop (or at least to the PA).  YOu don't have to go into detail as you tell everyone how great they are, but make sure the school understands that you are totally grateful and that they did the right thing.

Ditto everyone who said a) call the police and make a formal police report; and b) talk to your lawyer about next steps.  Also see if there's some communication your lawyer can send them that will explain whatever legal parameters are around your daughter, so they are "on notice" that if they try this insanity again, they WILL be arrested.  Try to talk to your lawyer about next steps and communication to your parents from the lawyer or courts.

Scary.  I can only imagine what that means your upbrining was like, but be proud that you are an awesome, protective mommy who is modeling for your daughter what it means to face a scary situation and DEAL with it.  Sadly there are many who would just hide or be in denial about it, or even worse cave to the scary grandparents.  You are doing the right things.  So glad you mentioned therapy too, that is very very important for your daughter to understand her fear and confusion is totally normal, and that she has the right to say NO to anyone who makes her uncomfortable, no matter what the relationship.[/quote]
