Donuel - Please keep focussed on what is important which is your son's emotional well-being. Children have a way of picking up on anger and blaming themselves. Rather than focus on the emotional damage the school has done (and then send him there everyday), explain that its your job to keep him safe and that means he must never keep "scary" secrets from you. The fear of "strangers" is not very useful since most abuse occurs from family members. It is important to explain to him that if he is abused, it is not his fault. Schools are supposed to be safe but sometimes they're not.

I don't know how it works in the U.S. but in Canada, reports of abuse do not go in the student file. Rather, it is social services that has the file, not the school. If the principal keeps the file, it still does not travel with the student to a new school.

Don't let your anger spin you in circles and effect your son. Use your anger to motivate you. You are not powerless. You can change schools or home-school or go to a private school.

btw - "I was told I would be informed as the the findings of that interview and if found guilty again I could go to a judge for a further appeal.

They NEVER contacted me by mail or phone and now claim the time limit for a judge appeal has passed."

This is where something has gone very wrong. Get a lawyer to help you sort through this mess. You have a couple of separate issues to deal with and please keep them separate.

#1 - How best to handle the emotional trauma your son is going through.

#2 - How to clear your name.

Good luck and stay clear.
