A child grabbing you isn’t sexual assault. This lady filed a Title IX complaint against a child. A non-verbal disabled child.

Now, I agree with you that the school could have done a bad job supporting the child and implementing the proper behavioral strategies. But I’m inclined to believe the school that the child did better when transferred out of her class. I’ve certainly seen all three things in my time - unstable teachers who can’t cope; schools that don’t provide supports; and kids that do much better when moved from a problematic teacher. What we DO know for sure is that instead of working on the FBA or advocating for the student, this lady decided to create a media spectacle claiming she had been sexually assaulted.

Yeah but that’s what’s confusing to me. Is it a Title IX complaint that her employer did nothing about her reports of the assault? We don’t know the kid to know how intentional it was but nobody deserves to endure groping by a student. So if the school did nothing, maybe that’s the grounds for complaint. Not against the student themselves. I would also be curious if the movement that supposedly stopped the behavior was into a male teacher’s class. Too many unknowns here to make any clear judgments .

If the student has an IEP and a Behavior Plan, they have to follow those and those processes can take time. I'm not a special ed teacher, but every one of them that I know is angry for the student in this case.

+1. When was the FBA conducted?

The admin in this story sound like dopes, too. Good luck ever getting another SPED teacher to work at that school.

Also possible the FBA was done when the kid was younger and the BIP created as a result of that FBA was no longer effective. If the behavior changes or the function of the behavior, a new FBA and BIP may be necessary. Again, we can’t know. But I’m curious to see how this one plays out. The admin telling them to use a quiet hand sign to discourage the touching sounds like the kind of thing a certain kind of dopey admin would suggest. Particularly a male admin who is not understanding or taking seriously the degree of groping a female teacher was being told to accept at the hands of a student.

Student was verbal. Not intellectually disabled and knew what he was doing.

Crazy to think there are so many students like this in the system.

Raped her with an object? Lady, if you believe this, you are crazy. The students removed her clothing, found an object and raped her, then she continued to work? Didn’t go to the hospital?
