You have taken the right steps by notifying the school that she was trying to threaten and intimidate you son on their watch and by your notifying the police. Now you have a paper trail. If anything else happens, you have her in a very damaging position.

Stay in touch with school officials and see what followup has been taken. If they don't protect your son, they are a position to be held liable.


This is good advice. I'd suggest finding a well-respected local attorney (not an ambulance chaser) to write a quiet letter to the District Superintendent, marked "Personal and Confidential." No threats, just simply: along the lines of "this is important, this needs to be dealt with, the school staff need support on this, and the District needs to take any and all available steps to protect [your son]." Have the lawyer say that the Superintendent can contact you directly, without needing to go through the lawyer.

That will get attention.
