[quote=Anonymous]The kind of people who would accuse a grieving mother of lying are just unfathomable to me.

I will say, when our child was assaulted and bullied at a well-regarded middle school, not only did the school administration refuse to punish the aggressors, but they accused my child of asking for it. Since some of the aggression was sexual, this was beyond the pale. Furthermore, although our transfer was approved, the initial COSA was denied and "no evidence of bullying"  was cited, although in fact there was a wealth of evidence, including police reports, doctor's reports, and video. They wanted so badly to sweep the entire thing under the rug that they let us leave, but disguised the reason.

By that point we were all so angry and disgusted that all we wanted to do was go so we took the deal.

I'm not against MCPS as a whole and I think it's quite a stretch to blame this tragedy on the entire system. I suspect it's more like our case: some individuals dropped the ball. I'm sure it happens all the time. [/quote]
