My daughter ("dot") had a sleepever and didn't invite 2 friends. These girls perceived this as being mean and leaving them out. The moms flipped their lids. Started complaining and telling everyone, with extreme embellishment, about how my dot is such a horrible, mean girl. The mom will not let this go and continues to slander my dot at every turn. The mom is a substitute teacher/heavy volunteer at school and well loved. I have gone to admin. about this but they don't seem to believe that she would do that. I don't have proof. Only things that I've heard from other kids and parents, but no one wants to get involved. It's to the point that the sports admin. (was told only one side of story) at school is lecturing the "class" about not being mean to classmates and not leaving anyone out. My dot has in no way been mean to these girls at school and even sits with them at lunch and talks constantly to them. What/who my dot decides to do things with after school is none of the schools business. Another mom who doesn't have a child that was involved or even in my dot's grade, was taking her child and another child (my dot's friend) home from school and was heard telling her son that he could have done so much better for a prayer patner than "my dot" and that she's not a very nice girl at all. horrible things being said by adults and kids alike) but I can't name them all. What recourse do I have? I just don't know what to do. I'm afraid depession may set in. She's very sensitive.
