General discussion - Mom and Dad Esq.

you say "probably occured" which implies your friend hasn't seen any of this. this might (hopefully should) impact on mandatory reporting shouldn't it. schools today are ran by administrators who run from any potential legal threat. your friend raising this brings a threat, and the accused teacher could also bring some action. what I've seen in schools is that the administrators decide to support whoever brings in the scariest lawyer. It might be mandatory but I'd really be careful in reporting simply what she has heard.
