I know something but I can't tell anyone?!


Question:

I know something but I can't tell anyone?

I know that a teacher in my school is a 'bad man'. Sorry, but that's all I can bring myself to say, but I'm sure you can figure out what I mean by that. His fourteen year old victim confided in me and I managed to persuade her to report it. It happened back in February she has confided in a few of her friends since. She dosen't want everyone to know, because she is worried that they will think differently of her. He was suspended, but has since returned to the school due to lack of evidence. He knows that I know, because I make it clear to him without even needing to say anything. I am a sixth form student and I study his subject, but fotunately he is not my teacher. My teacher is his best friend, however, which is making it hard for me to connect with him. I don't know if he knows, but I don't think he does. I had to get in a photograph with him and some other staff the other day and it was horrible. He even tried to speak to me. [I'll finish with additional comments]

He disgusts me and I feel physically sick when I'm near him. It seems like he is always there. I've promised not to tell anyone, but I really want to tell a friend. I've told my mum and nobody else. There's 2 friends that I want to tell, but one of them is in his class. I've asked the girl (the victim) if I can tell my friend, but she dosen't want me to. I don't want to break the trust, so I'm not going to. I want somebody to lean on in school though. They offered councilling, but I don't want or need it. I just want a friend. I feel selfish for talking about how I feel, but this is the first time I've really done it. I'm finding things quite difficult at the moment. Everything that can be done has been done and yet he still gets away with it. I've lost all faith in the legal system. I don't know exactly what I'm asking. I just needed to get this off my chest. Please give me any comments that you think will help.

It was reported to the police. Her parents tried everything available. He's got away with it and there's nothing that can be done.

He's really popular. I have to listen to poeple telling me how great he is.


Answers:

I am surprised that the investigation did not find more victims. Are you positively sure that what this person told you is true? If so, find someone older to confide in, perhaps a person you trust in administration.

If what the victim told you is true then this man needs to be stopped..you know he won't right? and I would hate to have you feel the guilt of knowing you could have prevented another young person from being victimized by someone in a position of trust.
