She was sitting on a bench and she had her foot up on the bench trying to protect herself and telling him to stop. There were other councilors there but they didn't know what to do. Now yesterday he put his arm around her. Well she was very uncomfortable with this. She doesn't like drama and won't tell her boss. She likes to just lay low and go with the flow.
Well my husband called her boss and told him that if this doesn't stop he will have the guy arrested for harassment. I said something to the older councilors yesterday when I was there. Apparently they talked to this guy with his supervisor today.
Now she is mad at us. Telling us she can handle it and to stay out of her business. Why do we have to get in her business. She is our business and I had all to do to keep my husband home and not go talk to this guy personally!!
This wasn't like she had a problem at work and we got involved. Someone made my daughter feel uncomfortable and we stepped in.
Were we wrong?? |
Absolutely NOT! Do you want to know why?
1. Even tho' your DD is an adult by age, you are still her parents and you are the only ones who will ever have her utmost interest & safety in mind.
2. Most importantly, this is a person who is violating your DD's space and has advanced now from tickles to hugs...very big red flag.
3. Your DD was not able to stop the first advance or the second...you stepped in probably right in time!
Good job Mom & Dad!
