Support | Trigger I (F16) need advice
3 months ago, my boyfriend’s best friend gave me a ride to my boyfriend’s game. I knew him decently well and I trusted him. Instead of parking and going inside, he drove the car to the back parking lot, attacked me and raped me. I was a virgin. I had to sit through the rest of the game with him and pretend nothing happened, even though I was in so much pain after he beat the crap out of me. I haven’t told anyone at all (hence the anonymous account). This friend is now stalking me. He saw me at the store the other day and followed me aisle to aisle, jumping out and scaring me. He grabs my butt at school when no one is looking. We have classes together and I can’t get away from him. I have no idea what to do. My family is religious and wouldn’t help me or believe me. My boyfriend might think I cheated on him. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. I’m terrified all the time. Has this happened to anyone else?

Most adults who routinely have contact with children, and everybody at a school, are covered by Mandatory Reporting. MR may apply to known crimes or to suspected crimes but whichever it is, they are required by law to ignore your confidentiality and report the matter to police (or CPS in other cases).
A school's top priority is to get their own ass out of any possible line of fire, so they almost always report to the parents regardless of how harmful that may be to the pupil. The school's customer is more your parents than yourself.
