Would you press charges
I work for this program after school and my coworkers and I are all friends. Our director, our boss, assistant director, we are all friends and all talk on a daily basis. So everybody was well informed about this incident and it was addressed. We are also like mentors to the kids so some of them have our number and for years, it's never been an issue. Some of my old students still contact me with their achievements and such. Well One of my my guy friends is attractive and some of the new 8th grade girls have crushes on him. He just had a baby with my best friend and they are struggling financially especially since she wants to stay home with the baby and doesn't trust day care. Anyway, We are like mentors to the students and have built a bond with them where we are pretty open with us. Most students have been in the program since the second grade and are now in 8th, so it's a sense of family.
Well one new girl in the 8th grade that's pretty fresh has had a crush on my friend since she started a few months ago.
We all went on a trip and the 8th graders wanted to explore so she asked if they could go somewhere else. He didn't mind and gave the two girls his number to call in case anything were to happen. Well about 2 wks later the girl called him late at night and he didn't know who was calling him. She start asking if he liked her and saying she see how he looks at her. He told her that she's a beautiful little girl but she's being inappropriate and shouldn't be calling him. He talked to her about boundaries and how she's too young for him and can find someone her age. He came to work and reported it to us just because he was beyond shocked and yes I believe him because I know him and his work ethic and he's been with the program for years and never had an issue and she's new and she has a track record of being grown and inappropriate. We had a convo with her about how young ladies should conduct themselves and how he is too old for her and though she was upset, she was fine. We said if it happened again, she wouldn't be allowed back to program. Her mother doesn't even have a working number on file. And myself along with other employees tried contacting all of her numbers provided several times about this and Also due to her inappropriate behavior in program. Language, bullying, and skipping program once and posting pics of her at some high school boy's house smoking weed. Of course we spoke to her and she's gotten it together, but now this.
The following week her mother read her diary which had all these explicit sex stories of my coworker. She came to the school in an uproar even after her daughter said it wasn't true, they only talked on the phone before and told her she was beautiful. Well it was completely taken out of context by the mom and she got him fired and wants to press charges.
Meanwhile , my other friend who just left on maternity leave from the same place is stressed out because he lost his job and he's no longer allowed to work with children. All because he was being helpful and the little girl btw is not a pretty girl. He just told her she was beautiful so she wouldn't feel bad about herself. I feel instead of trying to press charges she needs to be having a real conversation with her daughter. What would you do if it were your daughter ?
