Audrey Part 2

I tell ya, kids can just be brutal. What is making it more difficult is that Audrey is in a new school with a bunch of kids I don't know. I have no idea if they have a history of lying or any feeling for what kind of person they are. This girl who sent the picture message keeps saying she did not send the message, but it was her phone. No denying that. She says she let someone use her phone and that person sent the message. How do you get to the bottom of something like that! Ugh.

Anyway, the meeting went well. The teacher was so upset about what she did that she was in tears. I really feel that what she did was no malicious and that she had no idea the snowball she was rolling down the hill. Hopefully this will have taught her a lesson. The counselor was there and also very supportive. He takes the issue very seriously and told Audrey to come straight to him any time anyone gives her any trouble about this issue.

I am embarrassed to say that I used to be one of those people who thought it was a mind over matter issue. Until my three year old started experiencing it. I feel like so many people are completely unaware of the seriousness. Of course she is my daughter and I am so frustrated when I can't fix everything...welcome to motherhood.

Anyway, I feel like school wise the issue is being handled very well. Handling the girl outside of school is another issue. I guess I am being a softie, it seems like overkill to me to file a police report....but on the other hand, I really feel that kids are using phones and computers to harass eachother far too much. And they do not realize the brevity of what they are doing. What do you all think?
