follow-up to my last blog
I went to my counselor about the problem, she said I should called the child's mother. I called her, but did not get her, so I left her a voice message. She did not return a call, but instead came by school to see me. At the time of her visit, I was with Jessie doing my evaluation. She left me a written note wanting me to call her, so I did. She started to pour out her heart to me. 2 years ago she lost her husband via an auto accident, three years ago her son then 14 had sex with a girl and the case just went to trial. He was charged with rape and was found guilty. He was to be sentenced on Tuesday. I do not know what the out-come is, but she promised to call me to let me know what is the final outcome is.
We truely never know what students really got through, all we can do is do the best we can do for the student. Thanks Riley
