She should blame the District. They were acting en loco parentis. (Look it up). As such they were legally, ethically, and morally responsible for the safety and well being of the child in their care. Period.

My son was bullied in high school. Here’s how I handled it. I set up a meeting with the administration and his teachers. I told them what was going on and they admitted to being aware of it. Then they told me about their “zero tolerance” policy about fighting for any reason.

I thanked them for explaining their policy. Then I politely asked them to listen quietly while I explained my policy. I looked at my son and told him that if he was someone tried to lay a hand on him he was to hit them as hard as he could until they stopped. Then he was to immediately find an adult.

I turned back to the staff and told them that if my child was harmed while he was in their care or he was punished for defending himself when they failed to I would sue not only the District but them personally.

I told them I’d have them stripped of their indemnity and leave them bankrupt. I thanked them for their time and said the meeting was over.

I then sent registered letters not only to the principal but everyone who was in the room. At the bottom of the letter I cc’d a prominent local attorney. I didn’t really, just picked the name out of the local Bar Association.

I got a phone call from the principal the day he got my letter. He assured me there would be no need to get the legal system involved. The bullying ceased at school.

She killed herself at home. How could you possibly ascribe blame to the school.

Too bad you weren’t my dad. I had to put up with that snake pit until it wrecked my health. :-(
