Is there a lawyer I can borrow for 5 minutes?

Hi,

I was just wondering if someone could just take a quick look over a one and a quarter page incident report.

So basically I run a before and after school care centre for children aged 5-12... It was our second day back today and this psycho father had a go at me for doing my legal duty. He is a very difficult man who is taking the school I work at to court. He is a pig of a man who refuses to get help for his son who has behavioural issues.

He had been banned from entering the school grounds up until two days ago. He has argued with staff and parents numerous times.

Today I collected his children who were on my role. So basically we had a confrontation where he was very aggressive, he says he is reporting this to the courts and to the education department. A department with whom I hope to be employed by when I finish this degree by the end of this year. I am worried this will be a smear on my name even though I did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong.

He complained to my principal and I am completely in the clear but he is still going to report this to the authorities. The courts have issued a supena for all the information on this jerk... And this incident will become part of that.

Basically, I just want to see if my page and a half is good enough... Obviously there are more details in what I have written. I just am worried even though I have done nothing wrong that mud will stick...

Thanks so much...

Sorry to hear.
Good luck and hope it all works out in your favour.
My sister is a teacher and her school gets idiot parents having go's at teachers when they should be parenting their kids.
A lot of parents in today's society expect teachers to parent their kids.

I know I am in the clear... but what I am worried about is
1)mud sticks. What happens if I go for a job and the education department or prospective employers go 'hang on a second'

2) He is very good with his words... he used to be a foreign correspondent on a tv show, he is manipulative and I have seen him turn peoples words into what he wants. He is very intelligent...

I wanted to hit him, he does this to me in front of 75 children... If it wasn't for them, and for me being a chicken and never punching anyone in my life I would have hit him

He is a pig... A vile pig...

I'd be careful with what you're saying on the internet.

I edited the name of the show...

I have tried not to put anything specific in... apart from the name of the show...

But I just was wanting someone to say

'yep that looks like a statement'

I have no idea what one looks like...

I just wanted/needed to vent...

Is there anything you guys feel that is too specific that I have written already?

I understand....just saw you mentioned the show and how you wanted to punch him etc etc.

Give it a while....people over there are still waking up. I can't think of any Aussie lawyers in AET....sure there's a few from the States though.

And he has reported me to my principals' boss... so pretty much the Super-intendant Chalmers of my area...

If he is running my name through mud, I will contemplate seeing a lawyer... My future employment as a teacher may come under threat from these baseless complaints...

Only the truth can win.
Keep your head high.
Sucks that this is happening, hopefully this asshole fucks off and is exposed for the liar he is.

I read your thread yesterday and before I read this now, I was going to suggest getting a lawyer.

I have spoken with teachers, all of whom know this dickhead and what he does... A couple have commended me for standing up to him because he can be really intimidating.

Everyone who has knowledge on the subject has told me not to worry. I did nothing wrong. They say Super-Nintendo Chalmers knows this guy and wouldn't even consider it for a moment. My principal also assured Chalmers that I did nothing wrong and I acted in accordance with the law.

However I am following procedure to a tee. I am going to keep a file of everything, the roll for the day, their enrolment forms, witness statements etc.

I also spoke with my neighbour about it who is a principal at a school. He told me to write down everything his boys do wrong. If they so much walk out of bounds, if they are rude, swear etc. I made my first entry on the boys today and have instructed my staff to do so.

I am just worried about mud sticking. And I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me. All this happened on my birthday, ruined it for me :(

I received today a letter saying

Dear Dickhead

'Mr ****** acted responsibly and carried out his duties correctly'.

Says some other stuff then

'I recommend that future dealings with staff be conducted quietly and reasonably so that any discussion or explanation can be heard and understood by both parties'

Signed
Principal Awesome

Thanks for all the support, it has been tough. I still intend to mention it to a lawyer friend of mine I have documented everything, crossed t's dotted i's. Submitted to who I need to, along with documents that have been subpoenaed by the court. I hope this fuckhead gets burried...

Cheers

Mr ******
