The Raw Story

A Kansas woman said school administrators got a child abuse investigation launched against her after she reported that her daughter had been bullied.
Melissa Schroeder filed a defamation lawsuit last week against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City, Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Shawnee, and the school’s principal, reported KSHB-TV.
Schroeder said she reported the bullying in April 2014, and she provided notes from a doctor who found the 10-year-old girl’s severe migraines may have been the result of mistreatment at school.
But the principal did not take the claims seriously, according to the suit – and told the woman that “perhaps this school is not for you.”
The Kansas Department of Children and Families opened a child abuse and neglect investigation against Schroeder – which she says was launched by a complaint filed by the principal.
