The Principal has confirmed to me that the complaint was made about my DD's party in May last year. Her classroom teacher remembers the dramas DD had leading up to the party and because of the dramas he wanted feedback on how it went which I told him on the Monday morning. I'm at a complete loss as to why an official complaint was made about an incident that happened over 18mths ago against a 12yr old girl in her own home.
This just doesn't make sense. What could the mother even be thinking?? 18 months ago is ridiculous and I would hardly see it as police complaint unless it was an extreme bullying case (ie violence, fear of life etc).
That's just freaking bizarre. You need to be writing all of this down (so you have a record of times, dates, etc) and also if you have any evidence of the texts etc that she sent, try to make some backup copies of their content, when they were sent and the phone number they came from (photos of your phone if nothing else). I would also be requesting copies of the any of the police documents (if any) relating to the complaint that was made, to ensure that the officer's conclusions have been documented.
I will be contacting the Constable today as I would like a copy of the final report which I will give a copy also to the High School because I'm sure she's already let the school know that my DD is so bad that they needed to take it to the police. This is the weirdest part, this woman has known full well that DD would be going to this certain High School because she knows my boys went there and the school is in my zone, a 5min walk away. They live on the other side of town, the school is not in their zone. I'd kept the abusive txt for over a year but unfortunately lost my phone, the principal told me this morning that she has been abused and sworn at by this mum and has told the Constable everything, I really feel I have the schools full support about this issue, thank goodness. I'm still finding all this so hard to process because quite honestly still can't believe this is happening.
OK, I reckon you could even get an order against this woman - probably best to get in first, for peace of mind, because it sounds like this would be HER exact next step.
The police will have the principal's report to back up the abuse stories.
All of this you could then supply to the new school as evidence that the girls be kept apart (or the girl moved on, though the probably don't have any power to do that, and would also penalise the girl who seems to be her mother's pawn in all of this).
You don't have to have your phone as the phone carrier will be able to retrieve this text message info, even if it costs a bit.
Peace of mind, dianne - you will have to get ahead in this 'game' of hers and cover your bases with the police AND the new school. Keep using logic, as there's no point trying to figure out where this woman is coming from xxx
I have to agree, I would strongly urge you to look into some kind of protective action. What she is doing is harassment. With the schools back up and the fact the the mother has also abused them I would think you have some sort of grounds. And if you can get one taking it to the new school I would dare say the other girl would have to go to another school one in her Zone!!!
This has frustrated me and Im not even involved so I can only imagine how you are all feeling. So is her complaint that your daughter didn't invite her to her private bday party? Cause if that's the case Im dumbfounded!
