My DD got ANOTHER nasty, filthy letter in school (update #55)

[golfgal]

You would think after the negative attention the first letter got, the person (or persons) responsible would have backed off. It takes a lot of arrogance and nerve to send the second one. That will probably be the person's downfall.

Are there similarities in the two letters such as writing style, handwriting, terms, and sayings? Can you tell it's from the same person? It will be interesting to see how this will be handled now that it has escalated. I hope the administration has a plan in place to protect your DD.

It's disturbing this person is so bent on harassing your DD. I hope whoever it is gets caught soon and gets the appropriate punishment for the crime. He or she probably needs counseling too. It sounds like the person has a lot of issues.

Except they got away with it this time.

Is it possible to match handwriting to papers turned in by these suspected girls?

I teach at a high school and i can tell you from personal experience that these teen feuds can evolve quickly into a very bad situation, and kids can end up getiing hurt of killed. We had a breakup incident that got nasty end up with a child shooting himself in our gym. Please, please take this seriously and od eveything you can to see this person caught!!! It sounds to me like you are doing all the right things here, just don't give up or let it go. Stay on the administration and resource officer until they are caught!

ETA: the high school grapevine is a powerful thing. Make sure that all of your DD's friends know to keep their ears open, not to react to anything they are told about the letters, but to report everything, no matter how trivial it seems, to the resource officer. This has gotten too big for kids not to be talking about what they know. These girls are going to brag to someone about it, and that someone is gonig to tell someone else ect. eventually, someone will hear something.

I'd take this as threatening. While I hope it's all talk, I'd caution your DD to use the "buddy system" and be sure she is always with trusted friends and not alone, even while in the school building.

I'm quoting myself from last time. Please stress to your daughter that she should play it safe and keep a friend with her at all times, even for a quick stop into the restroom.

"don't bother turning this in, I will not get caught anyway".

It disgusts me.

Good that person has that attitude. Me thinks he/she will strike again and the police will be ready. I think electronics will catch them.

Please, keep us posted!
At my high school we have cameras in every hall and outside so we can see everything. So, nothing is hidden, except in the potty and gym room.

Melsmice~ What a mess! I don't know if this has been brought up, but does your DD's school have surveillance cameras in the hallways?

You beat me to it!

WOW. Hugs to you and your DD. How's she doing? I'm worried that she's afraid to go to school.

This is outrageous, pathetic and sick. I really hope you guys get a resolution now that law enforcement is involved!!!

 

[krcit]

I'm so sorry that this is happening to your dd. I hope they catch the creep right away.

Unfortunately, not in every hallway, & even worse, not in the hallway where her locker is.

Considering what has happened, would the school consider installing a camera in that hall until this is resolved?

I hope the culprit is found soon.

 

[laurie31]

Wow, that's just horrible that she's gotten a second letter. I also hope they will install a camera in that hallway (and not make it known that they've done it, so the letter-writer won't know it's there).

I hope they catch them soon. I second everyone who said for your DD to watch her back and never be alone.

They are in the process of installing them everywhere. There is one at the end of this hallway, but it faces more towards a stairwell & an outside door.

I'm actually on my way up to school with DD now to talk with the school officer.

 

[LoraJ]

I hope they get caught and SOON.
Good luck today.

I think it is time to go to the police and ask for fingerprints to be taken. This is serious stuff now. I hope your daughter is ok.

 

[agnes!]

I wonder if the culprit is stupid enough to have saved the document after they typed it out...I sure hope so. Once a document has been saved, even AFTER it's supposedly been deleted, the words will still somewhat exist on the hard-drive...

And if a file is sent to a printer to be printed, then doesn't the printer sometimes keep a record of what's been printed?

This is all just so sick and the culprit/s were obviously emboldened by the fact that they weren't caught the first time.

I wonder if you-all could install a camera inside her locker so that anyone who comes up to your DD's locker would have their face revealed.

agnes!

hopefully a concealed camera.

Met with the school officer this morning. When we walked in to his office they were already going through security tapes to see if there was anyone at the end of the hallway where DD's locker is. The camera does not show the lockers.

DD told the officer everything we spoke about last night. He wrote down names of kids. The only thing that unnerves me & DH is that if/when they start questioning kids who DD has mentioned that they retaliate on her.

He asked if there were any boys she recently started dating. She went on a date Friday with a boy & he took his name down & asked about ex-girlfriends. DD is actually friends with his ex, but he took her name down also.

I have a gut feeling about who did it, but without any concrete physical evidence, it is hard to prove anything. Plus, it's just a gut feeling - I really don't know for sure.

When my DD found the letter in her locker her twin was with her. It feel out, she opened it & said, "Are you kidding me............again." She started reading it & started crying. Her twin took it from her & told her not to even read it, that it wasn't worth the time & immediately took her to the school officer. I feel horrible that I couldn't be there to comfort her, but at least her sister was. I guess they do like each other!

I feel for you. Kids can be so mean & I think that you are right to look at the ex-girlfriends of the boys that she has dated. I have a DD who is 17 and the ONLY problems that she has had at school was from girls over ex-boyfriends. I don't know what it is, but it is insane. Just talking to one can get those wacky girls fired up.

I wish you the best of luck.
