If you found out your teen was being sexual harassed at work what would you do?

Unfortunately, this is when you get to teach your teenager that a) there are some creepy people out in the world and it part of being an adult that you will encounter some of them, and b) how the legal system works. No one wants to deal with formal processing of an incident like this, dealing with lawyers, or telling their story in court or on an official record, but I think it would be incredibly important to teach a teenager how to appropriately stand up for their rights and dignity. After removing my kid from that work situation immediately, I would help them file a formal complaint with the company's human resources office.

If they didn't have one, I would go to the Better Business Bureau and an attorney. I would help my teen write an accurate statement with dates and specific statements, and then support them as we went through the process. I would definitely not want them to be on their own, but I would want my kid to know that this is something they need to be an active participant in.

I think it's important to praise kids who stand up and do the right thing, since it's often hard for them to do so. A teenager asking to be believed over an adult is an especially daunting task, but I would definitely enforce with my child that being taken advantage of by a creep is not something they need to just deal with.

I've been in this situation with one of my daughters, who was assaulted by a male coworker while they were sharing break in her car in the parking lot. Although she told her manager aboutt the incident, she didn't make him understand how close it was to an actual rape--she probably was too shy or ashamed to give him all the details so I went back with her to talk to him. Turns out the boy was already on probation; the manager fired him and told us the boy's family had sent him to relatives in another state.

She was pretty upset but not physically harmed, and under the circumstances chose not to press charges.

You are talking about an adult who went after a teen girl. In my opinion there is no crime worse than child molestors. If it was my daughter I would get on a plane and go on vacation-when I returned this person would no longer be a problem.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
