Safeguarding School Fail!!!

AIBU to be fuming at DD school?!
Another (older from what DD said he is 7/8) child showed DD (she is 6) his willy and pulled her school dress up and snagged the dress on a branch.
And then the school didn’t tell me until today when it happened yesterday?! They also then massively down played it, made excuses, and said that DD was prone to flirting with boys so it’s pretty much her fault...even though she feels embarrassed and humiliated by it...AND THEN the teacher turns around to DD and said that because she flirts and sometimes kiss chaces other boys she can’t always believe her, even though DD did the right thing in telling a teacher about it.
Completely separate to the issue I have told DD not to kiss chase boys and hasn’t done it since I explained that it wasn’t appropriate...that shouldn’t be even an issue in the above anyway.
Like WTAF?! AIBU in wanting heads to roll and getting my mumma bear claws out?! Before I storm in tomorrow morning guns blazing AIBU? Surely MASSIVE safeguarding has been disregarded here?!

Oh OK so the original post is from the US?

I have no idea but her name has mom in it.

Either way, like many words from both sides of the pond, we live in a world where the internet and tv make it likely that people will use "americanisms" and vice versa. Not worth calling a normal word "disturbing".

To be honest anything I have said you have jumped on like a raging rabbit.

I live in the UK but am originally south african there as absolutely nothing wrong with the word panties and if you have an issue with the word then thats down to your own perverted mind and self issues.

If you have such an issue with everything simply stop commenting. Quite frankly bored of reading your consistent monotonous replies. I hope that nothing like this ever happens to you in the future and if it does happen some asshat with the username petrolpump doesn’t keep posting with accusations.

Anyway, like I said this is now done for us.
What happened is well on its way to being rectified.
Thank you to those of you who have been so kind and supportive.
I’m unwatching this thread and will no longer post on it or be coming back to read it.
Thanks ladies Flowers

How very rude. The country where this occurred is relevant as I assume safeguarding issues are possibly handled differently in different places. Of course no child should be threatened or hurt by the behaviour of another. I find it strange that a teacher, in a public conversation in the open, discussed an incident and more or less blamed a 6 year old girl for flirting.

Ffs, slut-shaming starts early these days. How dare they blame the child for "flirting"?

It's like the last 50 years never happened.

Doesn’t that say more about your closed mind than it does about the situation?

petrolpump28 · 29/06/2018 17:16

no it says, if this happened then its terrible.
