[quote=Anonymous]OP back. My instinct to file a report or hire a lawyer stems entirely from the fear that incidents aren’t documented or “counted” and that the school will always take the most conservative action and potentially even play dumb. I would want to make sure it’s all at least written down somewhere.

It’s not something my parents would have needed to do when I was in public 30 years ago but I do remember them calling the principal once or twice when I felt afraid. (FYI I’ve been lucky enough to never have to call the police or hire a lawyer in my life—this is just me trying to understand how one escalates appropriately. The only comparable situation I’ve been in is with medical staff. I’ve regretted *not* escalating and self advocating more, especially when loved ones have endured poor care).

The types of things I think I might “go nuclear” about: sexual groping, texts suggesting a child should kill himself, putting a head in a toilet, broken bones. I’m not talking about kindergarteners biting!  [/quote]
