WIBU to tell the school to drop it?

[Millerr]

Basically, last week my little brother (whose 15) witnessed an incident at his school. He was not involved but basically a boy in his year made an innapropriate comment towards a girl and grabbed her breast the girl then slapped him and made a racist comment back. It was inside during lunchtime and it sounds like my DB was the only person who saw it who is not close friends with either the girl or boy.

My DB witnessed this on Thursday. He came home and he said that he had to speak to a teacher about what had happened (fair enough).

Anyway, he has said nothing else since but has been a bit quiet. Today he has started to say he doesn't feel well but tbh he is a awful liar. I have just asked him what is actually up.

He said that on Friday he had to go and speak to the head of year about his statement as there were 'inconsistencies' in it compared to other accounts (i.e. They all say different things). DB tried to explain that he is the only person who isn't really involved with either parties but he said she wouldn't listen. The HOY kept saying that he has 'connections' to people involved and that he isnt telling the truth. He said he spent over an hour being 'questioned' and then had to miss his lunch as she still thinks he is lying. Apparently she wants to go through it again with him tomorrow, which is why he does not want to go. He said that she was really aggressive and accusing about the whole thing.

So basically, WIBU to call the school tomorrow and basically tell them to leave him alone? He has no reason to lie and I think it's unfair he keeps getting grilled about this even though he hasn't done anything wrong...

I dont think the OP is expecting the school to drop the investigation...just the bullying questioning...which it is. He is being bullied by the HOY to change his story

Tell them not to discuss it with him without another a family member present. This is unfair and should stop.

HOY doesn't grasp that your DB is the only uninvolved, uninterested witness. Or does and is handling the situation very badly.
As to the two groups of friends having opposing accounts, as teenage Mandy Rice-Davies said in 1963 'Well they would, wouldn't they?!'

Can you help him write a statement today? Write it in bullet points using quotes from the people involved. Short clear sentences. No opinions only facts.

Agree it with your brother and question him so he is prepared.
Write a note for the HOY telling her this is the statement your DB is standing by.
When he is questioned he keeps the statement with him. If they don't agree to this insist you want to be present during the meeting.

I hope that all went well.

So each interested party denies the "worst" part of the claim against them and DB says it all happened.

I would say on the balance of probabilities his evidence is the most credible! Are either of the parties usually the "golden" child at the school and they are just trying to get out of having to punish them?

I also wonder about the child involved and their role in school and why they
Might be more keen to protect them. Whichever it is.

How did it go op?

So what does the HOY think happened if she wasn't there and there are 3 conflicting versions of what happened, one of which (your DB's) actually to a greater or lesser extent corroborates both of the other versions?
