My blood is actually boiling right now. My 10 yr old daughter has come home after school today and said mum I have to tell you something but don't worry it's all sorted. So turns out another child from her school a little older has been touching her inappropriately. It started last term but my daughter didn't tell me and I'm really not sure why as she tells me everything. Well turns out it happens again yesterday and it she has finally had enough so she wrote a letter to the principle. According to my daughter he read the letter spoke to two boys (who both denied it) involved and a little girl who witnessed it. Apparently the little boy had been suspended for two weeks. OK so I am glad the school had at least done something but what the actual fk. The school them selves have not contCted me once to notify me that this has happened or to get me in for a meeting with him and my daughter. I'm fuming this child has sexually assaulted my daughter and the school can't ring to notify me. Yet they can call to say hey your daughter was in sick bay today with a head ache but she is OK now and back in class. Fkkkk get your shit together

Okay, you need to organise someone for your daughter to speak to. ASAP.
Contact the principal and let loose.!!
Contact department of education immediately!
I’m so sorry this is happening to you, but schools have become good at sweeping everything under the rug and it’s not acceptable.
Hugs mumma!
Good on your daughter first of all, it sounds like she handled herself very maturely for her age. Speaking up and sorting this out on her own must have been very empowering and she should be commended!
I agree with the above comment about getting her to talk it over with a professional, perhaps the school counsellor?
Secondly, I would be asking to see the principal first thing tomorrow morning. Ask them why you weren't notified about any of this, particularly given the seriousness of the incidents. Ask them how they plan on keeping your daughter and all the other students safe in the future. Will they be talking with the students about appropriate and inappropriate touch? Will they give the students the tools to know how to deal with it should it happen to them?
I personally would probably tell them if it happened again that I'd be seeking legal advice and taking it further.
How did you go?
Report it to the police and report the school as well.
Iv actually experienced the same kinda thing recently with my daughter but it was a Neighbour’s child. He’s 14 my daughter 15. he took her into the bush to show her something then tried to undress her then tripped her down and went to pull his pants down. Daughter got up and hit him and rode home. I found out after School rang me to say I had to pick her up as she is suicidal. After going though her phone I found out what happened. I approached the Neighbour and it got quiet heated cause the mother thought he was innocent. Anyway he ended up admitting it and that’s the last we have heard from them. The school did report it as it’s madatory and the police did contact me. Daughter didn’t want to make a fuss. I told her as long as he knows what he has done is inappropriate and not to treat women like that hopefully he’ll never do it again. I was furious with the school because after I had to pick her up because of suicidal thoughts, she had to visit the guidance councilor to let them know how she was coping. My daughter tried to visit the councilor but was told by her that she better not be suicidal cause she doesn’t have time to deal with that today!!! Furious. Emailed and rang her. She apologized but never heard from the principal. Really over the schools not giving a shit!!
