“Excuse me?”
“She was there. She saw what happened. Call her.”
For a moment, he didn’t move.
Then my husband leaned forward.
“If this was ordinary teasing, you shouldn’t have any reason not to ask the teacher who witnessed it.”
“She was there. She saw what happened. Call her.”
Ten minutes later, Miss Harmon stepped into the office.
The administrator folded his hands.
“Miss Harmon, did you witness an incident involving Alice yesterday?”
She nodded.
“She created a disturbance near the school entrance. She wanted to give her lunch bag to the transient, but one of the boys grabbed it away from her. He threw it into the dirt. He called her names. Several children laughed.”
“She created a disturbance near the school entrance. “
My chest tightened. “And what did you do?”
Miss Harmon looked down.
“I told Alice she needed to stop calling unwanted attention to herself.”
My husband stared at her.
