If you had to go to work every day and be exposed to coworkers hitting you and threatening you and your boss wouldn’t help and her boss wouldn’t help, what would you do? Tough it out? Hit back and maybe get jumped by several of your coworkers? Think it through and make a decision that best protects your child. It’s not like she can be replaced. Also think of the trauma she is experiencing. What can you do to mitigate it? And I agree, I would hire a lawyer and press charges against whoever struck your daughter.
Exactly. You are not a prisoner. You don’t need to fight, just get the heck outta Dodge. You can sue and get out, but there is no need to fight it out and protect yourself. Sounds like a crummy situation. Why not just move on?
