Can children say, "Given the situation, why did you not take me out of the school, why did you allow my siblings to stay in the School" Is it all about the School only?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-35042263760988094792012-06-08T17:42:32.519+03:002012-06-08T17:42:32.519+03:00The school has a moral obligation to insure the sa...The school has a moral obligation to insure the safety of their children regardless of mandatory reporting. One of the suggestions was that the actual molestation may not have happened. That, my dear friends, is completely irrelevant. We are observing the "terror" aspect of this, in which victims are living in constant fear. This is unacceptable. This requires immediate and direct intervention.

If not, refer her to a counsellor specializing in this area.<br />If she says that she was indeed "interfered" with, follow the mandatory state reporting laws.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttp://garnelironheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
