During class, the teacher was angry at my son for playing with a little piece of plastic, he walked up from behind him and smacked my son on the side of his abdomen, while yelling at him. One of the other students told my son "He hit you hard, you should report him" We (my husband and I) decided our son and our younger children might suffer torment from teachers or principals in the future if we pursued the issue, and we live in a very small town, and didn't want to cause a huge scene. Ironically, after we did nothing, the same teacher has continued to pick on our son and is now giving him detentions for ridiculous things that are not at all worthy of detentions. We contacted the county prosecutor and were advised to file an assault report with the police. We finally did that, two days ago, and now the police will "investigate" and get back with us. Is there something else we can do to ensure justice considering the police are friends with the teachers, small town cover-ups,etc.
