Do I have any legal grounds for the way my child has been treated by a resource officer?
Question Details:
My 13 yr old child was questioned twice over a incident at school. Both times he was told he was a liar and that his mother didn't work at the school and could not get him out of trouble. First of all, my child doesn't get in to trouble and the teacher knows his character and knows he would never do the incident he was accused of. Secondly, the way he was spoken to by this resource officer is just appalling. Now I feel that students may start picking on my son because of this officer's reactions. I have not gone to school yet because I wanted to cool off first, but I am not sure if I have legal grounds?
You said that you were not sure if you had lega grounds to go to the school about the way your son was treated. You do have such grounds. If you think that this oficer did not treat you son in a professional and respectful manner, then you have every right in the world to express your concerns. I wish you well.

Are you a lawyer?
