The case at CAS is closed and should never have been opened.  However, the school insists on dragging this thing out ensuring that Leduc will likely have a nice little legal complaint on her hands.  From her standpoint, she wants her daughter to get the $50K treatment she believes she needs.  She also wants her put in another school and never to come in contact with the TA.  I don't know if Canada is as litigious as the US, but if a similar thing happened in the US the lawyers would be taking numbers outside Leduc's door for the opportunity to represent her.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

It doesn't indicate that the sexual abuse was being laid on by a "precocious ten year old." What the TA said the psychic told her was "... well, you need to know that that child is being sexually abused by a man between the ages of 23 and 26." I don't think my write up would give the impression the alleged abuser was younger, rather than older than Victoria.

You're quite right that this incident should never have occurred. Let me count the ways it could have been nipped in the bud before it got to the point it's gotten: 1. The TA really needs to get a grip on herself and separate her beliefs in psychics and fortune tellers and real life events. 2. The school should have said "say what, a psychic told you this" before they called Children's Aid Society. They should have at least gotten in touch with the psychic to find out what led her to her "vision" and if that's all it was, make that the end of the story. 3. CAS ought really to have asked the source for the allegation (if they didn't) and, if it was from a psychic have at least looked into whether the psychic knew Leduc, her daughter, or this alleged abuser. 4. The school is shitting itself if it thinks an apology, of the most abject sort, isn't in order to Leduc. If they want to conduct a full-blown investigation into how it got from a TA who believes in the spirit world to a school administrator who should have asked a few questions to a call to CAS, so be it. But the apology is owed to Leduc. And then it would be nice for the school board to offer to provide Victoria with the intensive service she needs and transfer to another school away from the TA.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

The whole field of psychic power, in its various forms, is utterly without scientific or factual basis, and is simply an exploitation of the superstitions of poorly educated people.

Oh, I absolutely agree.  And that's why every parent with a kid in this school should be worried that such a poorly educated person is a TA.
