I was wondering how it was going? You should get the entire story from your child's point of view. The story from the teacher's point of view. Report it to the principal via a formal request form and request it be reported in writing to the superintendent immediately. If this was not accidental, I would request the teacher be removed immediately for negligent conduct . Then you need to contact the mass education website for further instruction (formal complaint to the school district or state or retain an attorney that specializes in such cases if you do not get any satisfaction. The most important thing is to have everything document, dates, photos etc. just in case. I am only a couple of towns from Mansfield. My sister used to live there and she is now a teacher in Taunton. You need to file reports and keep documentation even if you do not sue, just in case something were to happen later.
Best of luck to you

Yes thats correct, sorry did not refer the abbreviations correctly. They handle a lot of things with abuse..esp if school does not handle it correctly.

mansfield high school

I believe Dbritzius is referring to Child Protective Services.
