listen, i have a problem, i said i'd call someone who most likely won't do anything now but it could come in handy later, but i want to make sure i'm doing the right thing. Either the kid is lying (it does happen); or the licks did happen and it was grossly inappropriate. Whatever, maybe it happened and G. thought it was funny (not predatory) but the kid did not find it comfortable. (I wouldn't.) You could even be a plant to deflect blame from CEDU. This happens too.
Wait a minute--I need to recover I'm making myself dizzy with all the "could happens."
But that kid seemed so scared, and CEDU is so adept at manipulating parents, that it seems unlikely he was making it up. If he was making something up, I think he'd make up something more concretely liable. I hate the thought of a kid living in fear of returning to that Lord of THe Flies hellhole. I think he was credible.
I remember a lot of happenings at CEDU that weren't molestations but weren't appropriate either for the client-staff relationship. If my team leader licks my face and ears, there is an undertone of submission.
