[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am appalled by how this was handled. I wish I knew a way to have her address this. I hope the girls are ok.

Does anybody know what happened to the girls? We’re they touched, was is verbal? I don’t understand how this happened numerous times and nothing was done about it.

I cringe to think he may still be teaching. How could she wish him well?![/quote]

Doesn’t matter if it was verbal or physical, what the PP described is child abuse. I
In MD, all teachers and school administrators are mandatory reporters. Unfortunately, the consequence for not reporting to police ASAP is just losing your teaching license. How ironic that most MD independents don’t require faculty yo be certified! In VA and DC there are fines and jail time as consequences. This is why some folks say private schools are not in the business of education, they are in the business of keeping secrets. If this were a student to student situation, with both kids being the same age, it would be considered sexual assault in MD and not sexual abuse. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of privacy laws that protect the predator in sexual assault cases in MD. My child experienced this at another private school which is how I learned how terrible MD is at protecting children in private schools.

WHAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED?!  I don’t get this - nobody has said what did or didn’t happen.  What happened????

FYI, in DC any adult is a mandatory reporter. So, if your child tells you something they hear about another student you are on the hook to report it to the police ASAP.  [/quote][/quote]
