Oh, I think this teacher needs to go to prison. But that "negligence" statement tells me they're already looking for a whole different kind of justice. When did we develop the idea that justice=money?
Since you can't jail the school system or a corporation for negligence that leads to your child being scarred for life. Have you had to deal with a year of molestation? Any idea what that does to a young boy? What if it was your son? Who is going to pay for the therapy? What if this boy becomes a peter puffer? A child molester? I know you would just suck it up and say son deal with it.
