Forsyth Student’s Restraining Order against Another Student Raises Legal Questions

Forsyth County, MA
A Forsyth County mother is criticizing local school officials over their handling of a restraining order she filed for her daughter, who alleged that a male student groped her and threatened to rape her at a local high school.

School officials declined to comment on the specific incident, which happened in September, citing federal student privacy laws, but say they do everything they can to comply with a restraining order, even though they are not legally responsible for enforcing it. But a legal expert says schools are entering new territory in trying to deal with students who file restraining orders against each other.

The mother told the Winston-Salem Journal in late October that she has since pulled her daughter out of the high school because of safety concerns.
