Scared- Part 2- DD got another note - update Pg 5 link

[Tantor]

Well here we go again.
DD got another note yesterday ( Friday Jan 13th)at about 2pm after they came back from Computer lab and just before recess. Principal called me and I went in ASAP and stayed in her classroom till the end of school. Got a copy of the note, same hand writing, and it said" I've been watching you". DD was scared.
Hubby talked to the Principal (rememer she is new{moved up from Vice} and so is the vice{old librarian} and they are very disturbed by this. The principal put in a call and email to the Superintendent. Principal called last night at 6 and said she still had not heard back from Super.
Hubby was in yesterday around 3:30 yesterday and said to Principal and Vice that he is giving them till Monday at noon to get some answers or we are off to the police and Directer of Education and the Minister of Ontario Education. I wanted to go to the police last night but he said let's see what happens first.
I am in the school once again all day everyday.
I need some major hugs here. This board has been a great help to me with many wonderful people giving me support.
This kid has major balls. If I find him/her watch out and I'm sure there will be some of you Disser's behind me....................

Oh, Karen, how frightening! I hope they get to the bottom of this soon. Not only does your DD need the relief, the kid who is doing this needs some major counseling! Hugs to your family. Stay strong.

thanks, I'm a mess.............

 

[dmslush]

Man, I was hoping that this had all resolved itself! I'll be thinking your and your family.

Something tells me they won't if you guys ever get your hands on them!

Seriously though, hope you can put an end to this real soon.

man, i just read your recent update and was so happy things had stopped!

i was even wondering if with the speedy stop once the other principal got transferred if maybe it was an adult at the school who "sickly" masterminded this as a means to get rid of him/her.

this just sounds way to complex to be a kid, so much more like an adult (knowing when things have quieted down, knows the situation is not so closely monitored)-have they taken an in depth look at all of the adults (including parent volunteers). just seems to me that maybe your daughter is being used as a means to drive someone else out (maybe her teacher?), or maybe someone was getting an issue addressed by the former principal and it took the heat off them for the time being while your daughter's issue (rightly) became the pressing need-is the new principal/or the teacher readdressing something with someone that might have been put on the back burner while all of this mess was going on.

hugs and prayers to you and your family-please keep us updated.

I am also looking at adults at this point.....

 

[goofy4tink]

I'm so sorry this is continuing!! Your poor dd. I can only imagine what you, her parents, are going through. I'm not at all sure I would wait much longer to go to the police. I imagine that the school authorities are well intentioned but since it has started back up again I would want to go higher up.
I'll be adding you all to my prayers....hang in there, and keep us up-to-date.

 

[sorcerormickey]

Oh man....just when it looked over. BIG HUGS TO YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also looking at adults at this point.....

Yeah, I think I would be too - or at least someone older than elementary school age kids. Don't think that many 11 year olds (upper end of elementary here) would be this persistent in sending these notes - to take that much time off then start again is beyond their attention/"entertainment" span I'd think. Is there any way to get someone like a profiler involved at this point - these notes MUST contain many many clues about the type of person behind this if only the right person could study them.... My guess is that this person likes getting DD and the school administration upset about this but doesn't have the nerve to actually DO anything. But if it was my kid I certainly wouldn't bank on that and yes I'd also be living in the classroom.

I followed the other thread and was hoping this was over. One thing I do not understand, and I mean no disrespect...but, WHY on earth are you waiting for the school to give you answers? What answers can they come up with if they do not know who is doing this?

At this point, I would assume this is a serious threat (by an adult) and go directly to the police. I see zero reason to play around with this an expect action from the school, this is a POLICE issue.

I am not trying to be harsh, I just do not think at this point you should leave this to people who are not used to dealing with criminals. (always better safe than sorry)

 

[sweet angel]

My first thought was an adult also. Could it be a janitor? A teacher from a nearby room? Teacher's aide?

I would think at this point, the school would want to speak to everyone.

 

[binny]

Im so sorryt this is happening again. I personally would be off to the police. I just dont see the point in waiting any longer.

Best wishes in whatever you decide.

 

[ugadog99]

Wow, I was so hoping this was over for you. I have no advice or thoughts; just continuing to keep you and your daughter in our thoughts.

 

[RitaZ.]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I still think it's an adult, I can't imagine a child in elementary school being that persistent and calculating.

I hope there is an end to this soon. {{hugs}}

 

[Keli]

It's my opinion that a child would likely have messed up by now and gotten caught. I too, would be looking at adults in the school, especially those that are not teachers since they would be more likely to have free time at odd moments throughout the day and would still have access to your dd's classroom when no one was around. Good luck, I certainly hope they figure out who this person is soon. Your dd should not have to live in this fear.

 

[ericamanda01]

I can't believe this is happening again. I hope it all works out soon for your DD's sake.

I followed the other thread as well. I am sorry your family has to deal with this.

I tend to agree with poohandwendy. I would definitely take it to the police ASAP. Considering the fact that the school has not been able to produce any results on this, you need to take it a step further. These notes are by no means benign childs play. It is stalking and needs to be taken to the authorities.

Refresh my memory, where are the notes found? In her bookbag? Could you possibly plant a camera in there somewhere? Just a thought. Not sure of how you could handle the logistics of it, but I would try anything if it were my child. You need to find this creep PRONTO and press charges.

Here's lots of hugs and prayers that this thing gets resolved soon.

Once you get the police involve give them notes for handwriting ananlysis. They maybe able to tell if it is a kid or an adult. IMHO it is an adult and this makes it even scarier. You are doing the right things going to her classes. It will tough on you, not keeping her safe is of utmost importance. They need to find the creep ASAP. Good luck.

i have to add-i was the target of anon. threats (by phone) several years ago and while receiving them was upsetting, the waiting and wondering in between was far worse (and mine included "i've been watching you" and that type of cr**)-and i'm an adult! my employer was responsive but realy did'nt know how to properly address it. i finaly took things into my own hands and contacted the police who immediatly put a wire tap on my work phone (my employer had insisted it would have taken a court order due to confidentiality issues-the police did it instantly based on "good cause"), started profiling co-workers, clients.

they got a pretty good idea of who it was but could never prove it enough to prosecute ("she" had a network of "friends" she would put up to making the calls, letting them know where i had gone to lunch that day, what i wore-so they could be very specific in threatening me with specific details about my attire and whereabouts). but the main point is they removed any opportunity for contact between the person and myself (i opted to move to another building and unofficialy she was banned from being sent or assigned to any building i was in).

i strongly urge you contact the police immediatly-if for no other reason than your dd's peace of mind. i'm sure she was comforted by hearing "the school is taking care of it"-but they have'nt, she's aware of that, and she may be reluctant to share with you the full scope of her fear/anxiety for fear of upsetting you further.
