When our daughter was surrounded by older girls and spit on in the girls room while at the prom, nothing was done despite the fact that we reported it. The girls denied it and so did witnesses except for the girl who told us about it. She was a friend of our other daughter, Tina’s older sister and the school said it was the friend’s word against the other three and un named witnesses. Sitting was not considered to be a threat.
We found that the school was hardly interested or concerned about the hell our daughter was going through even when a bomb was drawn on her locker with the words “You are mine.” They questioned students who denied their involvement or knowledge of the involvement of others.
