Asked in Civil Rights, Criminal Law and Education Law for Florida

Q: If my daughter gave a statement to School Police, but did not disclose what actually took place.

My daughter has been harrassed by a group of boys in the school's football team. She felt coherced to have sex with multiple boys. When questioned she did not state or know how to express that she felt pressured and harrassed. They questioned her without my knowledge and without my being present. What can be done at this point? I have gone to the school board and they refuse to investigate further.

A: If you believe a crime has been committed, you can contact the local (not the school) police, or the prosecutors office.
