To no one in particular; Imagine a teacher has been physically abusing your kid. You find out that another teacher did nothing with reports of the abuse, including a report of abuse directly from the abuser. How would you feel towards the teachers and the school? I'm not trying to fan any flames here. I strongly feel that admin should be informed and students and teachers subsequently questioned in the situation described by the OP.

What I said above. Report that teacher ABC told you this story. Up to the school authorities to investigate.

As for the Netherlands being a police state, Laughing

I lived there for almost a decade. Have NO idea what support anyone might be able to make for that statement.

Well, Spiral. It is a state, and they have police. Q.E.D!

Same for Sweden. But then you'd expect that from a Communist state : )

If you hear a rumour that a child is being abused, physically or sexually, you report it.

I appreciate that acting on rumours and gossip is bad. I don't like the idea much myself. How you report it may be a tricky issue. Getting involved may not be in your own self-interest. I realise all of that.

I don't know or understand the Op's situation enough to even be sure whether it is children involved here. I just think the first sentence should be a guiding principle, and is indeed part of every child protection strategy that I know of.
