Is this emotional child abuse and what can I do about it?My son has a chronic illness. He has kidney disease. Because of his symptoms, renal bleeding, fevers, kidney infections, and severe pain, he has missed alot of school. Within the last few months, we have been visited about a dozen times by a local truant officer. She has also pulled my son away from class at school, pulled him away from his lunch. Threatened him with having CFS taking him away from us, threatening him with his parents going to jail, also telling him that he is not sick, that he is faking everything and tried to get him to sign a paper stating that. She has also told him that it is his fault that she is getting in trouble with her boss, and that his mom suffers from Muchausen by proxy and needs to be institutuionalized. Also the day after he came home from the hospital after actually going into kidney failure, this truant officer shows up at the door and demands he be at school, again accusing him of faking it.Can I have her charged with emotional child abuse.
We met with the school officials before we moved here. They assured us that they would work with us. We have given documentation, letters from the doctors etc... They have never even offered tutors, programs or anything. The principal is well awarfe of what is going on. He actually has even defended her actions. We have gone through hell and are trying to use the system but it seems to be failing us. The only other solution we think now is possibly the court system. I have talked with her supervisor who claims we are the first to complain, yet, we have spoken to at least a dozen other parents who have also had similar problems. she is employed by the county, it is called an "attendance assistance program"for the schools. It cares nothing for the sick choildren or their education. It's only purpose is to get kids in the classroom so the schools can collect their state money.

something isn't right here. a friend of mine has a child with a disability and misses a lot of school....this never happens to her child. how can this happen if your son is sick? report this person. if your child is this sick, this is all documented by the school....i just don't see how this is happening.

Yep. Oh, and on her way home from work, try throwing a rock through her windshield. Maybe it will know her out and she'll wake up with a brain that actually works. What a jerk. Idiot people like that have no reason to treat others like roadkill. Yes, at the least file a complaint.

i would call her supervisor and get her fired asap, or file some sort of harrassment lawsuit against her department. is she even allowed to talk to him at school? shouldn't she have permission from you or the principal or something for that? get it documented by the teachers how many times this witch has interrupted his classes. don't let her bully you or your family, you have enough to deal with already.

I don't know about legal charges, but I would be after her job. If your account of the way she is treating your son is absolutely the truth I think she is open to a civil suit for emotional abuse of both your son and the family. Who is this person's employer and what are her credentials for this position? If she is already in trouble with her boss it is obvious that something is going on. I think you need to have a meeting with this person and her boss. The accusations that she has made against your son and the family are serious and should not be thrown around as threats.
If this was my family I can assure you I would be taking names and working my way up the chain of command.
Good luck
