School Took DD for Pregnancy Test...

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...

Wow, Rose. Your story of the boys only 16 mos. apart in age is scary. Any of us with sons needs to print it for our boys to read. And girls, too, should read it so that they know what can happen to their "raper".

i think there needs to be different rules.....if a 40 yr onld mand rapes or gets involved with a young girl...hes a sex offender but a few years apart...if its rape them hes a sex offender but id hate for a boy a few urs older to be labled like that when he made a mistake by sleeping with his younger girlfriend but i guess thats where the law makers need to make some changes......
