SBBS

I absolutely agree with almost everything posted above...I knew some type of counseling was necessary, but wasn't sure which way to go when choosing the best qualified.... From what was investigated (TV) we feel confident the boy is in either 4th or 5th grade, so I think that would put him @ 8-10 years in age...give or take (if in proper grade). I wanted to contact the parents of the boy, but the school refused to turn over any information to the investigator (I don't know if this is standard procedure). **I was just informed every child on the bus was questioned, but when independently investigating, found out most of the children questioned didn't ride the bus that day -- and many were not (one being our next door neighbor who witnessed my son telling the bus driver of the incident). I have in fact researched other schools, considered homebound, and private...I have every intention of never sending him back. Prior to the meeting with the principal I was severely upset and out of fear I grabbed my audio...in Louisiana one person needs to know a recording is taking place and that could be the recorder themselves (as far as I'm aware of). I did it for our protection, and it has been turned over as evidence. There is no school counselor, I'll have to get my own. I must as a parent stay strong, thank you for reminding me, because it's so easy to forget when faced with such emotional situation. The bus driver heard the commotion in the bus, called my son forward asked what happened...my son stated "they are slapping me, and telling me nasty." I don't think the bus driver admitted this to the school, but we do have witnesses.

I'm actually very happy to have found this forum...I have such a large weight on my chest that I have no idea where to turn. My 5 year old son returned from school only to share with me that an older kid on the school bus was making him do "nasty" with his friend....I almost stroked out when he went on to tell me the slang words for female parts, and then demonstrated the very acts he was instructed to do of sexual & oral intercourse. (he said he didn't want to do these things, and the boy started hurting his arm and threatened to slap him, but he still didn't). I as a concerned parent contacted the principal at Parks Primary in Parks, La. and arranged a meeting ... from then on I was pressured to leave the room for the purpose of an investigation, which I refused (I had an audio recorder on me)...then the principal told me "If you don't believe in me, well then you don't believe in god" I found that to be totally insulting (I trust in god alone)...This is a public school with supposedly zero tolerance for "sexual harassment" as stated in the handbooks given and signed by all parents of the school. Well, after refusing to leave my sons side, I was asked to leave the premises of the school (I took my son with me)....My son was the victim & b/c my son did not perform the acts, the school was not concerned at all. I got so angry I went to our local TV station to do an investigation, filed a police report, and an app. w/ our attorney. I need any advice I could get on healing my child of this incident that destroyed his innocence, I'm so concerned he might act them out on other children or worse think that what happened to him was his fault. I'm so confused and the way we were treated at the school makes me so angry...I was doing the right thing...and it was treated like nothing! Please help with any advice...
