[quote=Anonymous]In 8th grade, my dd was grabbed several different times by the same boy, always during dismissal when the hallway was jam packed. He’d call her by name (she didn’t know his; she said she didn’t have any classes with him). He’d grab her from behind and try to turn her around. He got close to her breasts but never actually made contact. He’d make a suggestive comment. She told a teacher, who told administrators. The principal called me and let me know that they took this very seriously, believed my dd, and were reviewing surveillance video. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make out anything. It was too hard to pinpoint dd, specifically, in the packed hallway. Together, we made a plan that if the boy touched dd again, she was to wave her arm so it would be easier to pinpoint her on camera. The principal also stationed herself in that hallway at dismissal, watching. This was near the end of the school year and the boy didn’t approach dd again. My dd also has anxiety and depression (and ASD and ADHD), and this did a number on her psychologically. She’s an easy target for bullies because she’s odd and physically small.

I think you should tell the school because this is a safety issue. Talk to your dd about the fact that it might be empowering for her to take action. [/quote]
