Trust your son! I doubt he would make something up like that, unless he lies a lot. Which either way I think you should notify the police and principal.

Tough situation, knowing that you can't always know for sure unless, you were there. My proplem with this is your boy's getting this stuff from some where. How old is he? My suggestion he may be just looking for attention, or it may be true. Try counseling. You also need to talk to him and get details from him but don't accuse him of lying, because if by chance it is true, if his mother does not believe him, you will push him away, which could have a serious reaction. You definetly need to try to get to the bottom of it. Really, get some counseling either way. I hate to give a teacher a bad rap but you may want to talk to the school counselor or something, for all you know your child may not be the first to complain about this teacher.

Even if your son made something like this up before, he should not be ignored. You may not want to confront the teacher, but contact another official at the school. If he is telling the truth, obviously something needs to be done. If he is lying, there is a reason and he needs help as well. There must be some underlying issues that a counselor or doctor may be able to help with.

Hmmm, tricky one. I've been reading your previous posts in your profile. Is this the gay teacher? If so, it's probably nothing more than your teenage son spouting rubbish because he doesn't like his gay teacher. His history of telling this kind of lie would make me doubt him too.
However, this kind of statement shouldn't be taken lightly. Maybe you need a trip to the school and a chat with the Head and perhaps you should talk to your son about the impact his statement might have if it's not true.

I would certainly question the situation further...is this a one time thing? Has he ever saw the teacher do it to other students? Does he have a problem with this teacher? I would trust your child, but also get more information before acting and ask in a way that is not shameful towards your son or places blame on him.

YES something like this happened at a grade school in az the mother immediately went to the principal who mentioned the same thing happening a few years ago. The principal didn't do anything about it, and the teacher was left to touch other students. You need to make sure your child is safe at all times.

He's probably lying. He probably just does not like his teacher and is trying to get you to get him fired. But then again he may not be and if you refuse to believe him and he's telling the truth, then it's a failure on your part because you're "supposed" to trust him.... But think if he has ever talked badly about this teacher in the past or ask him what his friends think of that teacher because it may be that students just plainly don't like him and want to get rid of him.

I'd defiantly look into it to get to the truth. If it's actually happening it's wrong and the teacher should be punished for doing this. If it comes out your son made it up the truth will come out and maybe it will teach your son not to make up things anymore. If you ignore it and it's happening it will only do damage, not only to your son but in the relationship you have with your son. Good luck to you. ;o)

Unless your son has a history of telling these kind of lies, of course you should listen to him. Go to the school and speak to his headmaster about it, then go to the police. If this is really what happened this teacher should not be allowed around children!

Well does he have a reason to lie? I would call the police right now unless I had a realy reason to think my son was lying.
