School Took DD for Pregnancy Test...
| Mon, 05-28-2007 - 3:41pm |
Hello! I need a second opinion here. We just found out Friday that my 14 year old daughter had gone to the school nurse with a story about sneaking out of the house and going to a party. She said that someone had slipped something into her drink and she woke up with no clothes on and believes she had been raped by a 15 yr. old boy. I guess this had happened in March and she was afraid she was pregnant. The school arranged for her and a friend to go down to Public Health for a pregnancy test, which was negative. My husband is furious!! He is wanting to press charges against the school and have the school nurse fired. I don't know... I know the nurse, just not personally. I would hate to be the cause of her losing her job, but I don't believe she handled the situation in the right way. Shouldn't we, as parents have been notified? We ended up finding all of this out Fri. from dd's counselor. I had received a release in the mail from the nurse wanting to correspond with the counselor so I signed the release. All of the above had already taken place though. What are your feelings on this situation? Was the school in the wrong, or are we just overreacting? Oh, and I guess what happened with dd is that she has been sneaking out and having consensual sex but panicked when she thought she was pregnant so made up the story. But that is another subject...

I do you wish you and your daughter all of the luck and healing that you need. I hope that the worst is over for your family,

At least in my case, I can't entirely blame the politicians.
Well, Julie, I share your opinion about teens in a relationship and no more than a few years apart sharing responsibility, rather than having it all tagged on the boy.
Yes, that is sad, but imagine this scenario:
Your dd14 has just had an abortion, without your knowledge and/or consent.
"But in the case of high school kids who have been seeing each other for awhile, I still stick by my guns, even if we're talking about a freshman and a senior... there is no need to ruin a boy's life because he made the dumb"
This was my point exactly, I mean that I don't think that anyone should be blamed Even If there is a 4 yr age difference. Your story's, both of them, is exactly what I am talking about.

Again, check the laws where you live. Here, the nurse could not tell you about the "maybe pregnancy".
