I believe that what was said yesterday was basically a false accusation, perhaps the result of an over-fertile imagination, or a misinterpretation. We spoke this morning with one of the staff of the Breakfast Club, who was there, and saw nothing untoward. Wife has spoken again with the Assistant Head Teacher, and I understand that the school intends to take no further action (apart, I assume, from communicating with the mother who made the complaint - I don't, of course, know how the school intends to deal with that situation). Hopefully, the matter is closed, but I don't know.
Thank you, Jack (is it alright to call you that? JackTheLass sounds a bit too formal) for your thoughts.
The day has been overshadowed somewhat. I've made an appointment to see my GP again, on Monday. I guess that he will want to talk about the results of the various tests I've undergone. My own guess is that I've been affected by a virus, which has caused some breathing problems. My shoulders are sore, which from experience is a sign of depression. The book of James talks about the tongue being able to start a fire. That's the problem with an accusation. You can't win. If you make a point of refuting the accusation, then the publicity may be damaging. But if you let it pass, the accuser may feel that she is entitled to repeat her accusation. I guess that she considers that her daughter is vulnerable. But our son, also, is vulnerable. Perhaps it is a good sign that she chose to say what she did to the school, and she is prepared to let the school be the judge. Again, I simply don't know.
