Dont let it just go. I was first raped when I was 7 yrs old. I told my parents, and nothing was done because they didnt want me to have to face our neighbour (who did it), and they felt it would affect the respect our family had in the community, which made me feel like it was my fault.
Before my mother passed away, this was the only thing she regreted, and that was not telling the authorities, and how it ended up affecting me mentally.
Dont do that to your son, its a heavy burden to carry.
BTW last time I heard, my abuser is a school teacher - now that is scarey!
I didn't say I agreed with zero tolerance, but that's what it has come to.
The kids are young and maybe some shoving would fly. I'm sure the teacher has rules to adhere to and has no choice in the matter. I feel the worse part is that a child in the right could end up getting emotionally burned at both ends.
