Son Was Sexually Assaulted At School, Schools “investigation” Looks More Like Absolving Them Of Liability. Us-mi

I have a 6 year old autistic son. The other night before bed he began crying hysterically asking my wife for a robux gift card to give a kid at school. Upon further inquiry, it turns out this was an idea of our sons to give the other child the card as a means to get him to stop touching my son.

We launched an “investigation” with my son’s school to figure out what’s going on. We were assured that they were going to make sure the kids were permanently separated. They also assured us they’d be interviewing the people around them to get a better understanding of what was going on. We raised concerns that 1-2 weeks prior during our parent teacher conference that our son’s main room teacher had mentioned our son was sweet and a great child but he was easily influenced by other children. We raised this concern with the administrators of the investigation.

A month goes by and they’ve now questioned my son twice. A week later they release the “evidence” of their investigation for both of the families to review. In their “evidence” they have a transcript of a voice recording my wife and I made of our son telling us what happened, transcript of their first interview, the other child’s interview, and a 2nd interview with my son. A couple things discovered, the kid that did this to my 6 year old autistic son in kindergarten is a 5th grader. Absolutely nowhere does it show anything related to questioning anyone around my son and so on so forth. There are many more details involved that look like this is a “make sure our school can’t be held liable” rather than finding scrutinizing what happened and discipline/pursuing legal repercussions towards the other child. I called the police, met with an officer and provided him with a copy of the recording and haven’t heard anything. At this point I’m feeling like we’re getting covered up essentially. No ones using an ounce of their brain to handle this like it should be.

Do I need to get a lawyer involved? Are their legal assistance avenues for victims like my son? I don’t really have the financial means to hire a lawyer if there isn’t assistance but given the way this is unfolding, it absolutely feels like they’re doing their best to sweep it under the rug. They had the fucking audacity to ask my son if he knows “the power of no” and “how do you feel about (kids name)?” It’s fucking gross and my heart breaks for my son.
