She was accused of hitting a child at her place of employment. She works with troubled teenage boys. The accusation came from a co-worker who a; was not even there when this supposedly occurred and b; claims that the kid in question (who cannot speak and has limited non-verbal communication skills) told her that he was hit by the accused.
The best part is that they have suspended her, opened a personal investigation, and have criminal charges pending. She is scheduled to give a statement to a DHS worker tomorrow. I have advised her to talk to nobody except an attorney. What else can be done? It seems as though this is a witch hunt based on vindictive behavior from a co-worker. Does anyone have experience with this? I don't know what else to tell her other than to not talk to the cops or the DHS workers or her employer.
