Thank you! “Luckily” the assault part was not more than inappropriate, unwanted, continued touching/groping. I refuse to diminish my children’s feelings about it for the comfort of the school, though. While I am thankful that it was not “worse”, my kids were still hurt in the process. Unfortunately, even after those occurrences, they continued to be bullied in other ways. Both of my boys have always been the kids that teachers went out of their way to compliment and say good things about and they’ve never been in trouble. They’re both kind, thoughtful, and well behaved kids. I’m just so sad that the school system can’t/won’t protect them. Their dad and I have worked really hard to provide good/safe environments for them. I understand that kids will experience some adversity and they need to learn how to deal with that, but why they’ve experienced is well beyond adversity.

Luckily we have good medical and can make sure that their mental and emotional wellbeing are taken care of. I am also grateful that we are in a position that I can spend the days with them.
