All school district employees,
including subs, are designated “mandated reporters”.
I sometimes feel that applying common
sense to an incident isn’t worth the risk when criminal and other legal
sanctions for failing to report even possible
suspected situations are pretty harsh. The obvious situations are clear but sometimes
my gut tells me that some situations
don’t really warrant reporting but general rule is: “When I doubt, report”
Today was a pretty good day with a
fairly large 5th grade class when one of the girls brought me her
library book. Inside the cover was the post-it note:
“If you open this book, we will rape you!”….and it was signed!
First names only but the office
staff pretty much had an idea who they were. I’m pretty sure it was just a sick
joke since they could not possibly know who the next person to check the book
out would be.
I’m kinda saddened that 5th
graders these days even know what “rape” is.

Sigh. I don't think they realize what a threat that actually was. But they do need to learn that it's serious.
