[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for talking to the school counselor.  We had a similar situation happen to my DD - she was being harassed on the walk home from the bus stop, so I wasn't even sure if it was in the school's jurisdiction.  They took immediate action, and it was very clear from the response that there was a protocol they had to follow with any sexual harassment issues.  I don't know how it was handled on the boy's end of things as they don't share that for obvious reasons, but I do know that the behavior stopped immediately - and not just toward my DD but to all other girls in our neighborhood.  The counselor did want to interview my DD and have her write up an incident(s) report.  My DD was nervous for a week or so every time she saw this kid - but no retaliation of any kind occurred.  I have a younger son, and it really made me think about how I would respond to a call from the school about a behavior like this - I had compassion for the parents and can only hope that this helped set a kid onto a better path going forward.  It was VERY important for my daughter to see me take this issue up - she needed the validation and support that this wasn't ok and we weren't going to put up with it.  She wasn't as resistant to reporting as OP's daughter, but still very afraid of what might happen if we did. [/quote]
