I (40F) have a son (16m) who I have raised to be a kinda and compassionate person, or so I thought. A week ago I got a call from the principal about allegations that have come up against my son and a female student. When I got there My son and said student were sitting in the lobby. My son tried to talk to me but I ignored him, so I could speak with principle. The principal told me that he has apparently been sexually harassing her. Following her around making sexual remarks, and trying to touch her inappropriately. I was furious and asked about his punishment. He is being suspended for 2 weeks and will have in school suspension for another week after that. When I got out and saw my son I immediately started yelling at him. Saying how he has disappointed me and has completely disgusted me, I wanted a written apology, sent to the student he harrased and I would be taking all of his electronics, he will be doing a hefty amount of chores and will be telling his father (who has shared custody with me and is a cop) about what he has done and he will not be going to a comic event next week. My son started to she’d crocodile tears saying she was lying and that he would never so such a thing. I ignored his statement and walked to the car. When we got home I called his father and told him to get over here and that it was important. His father was also with his brother so he tagged along. When my son told them what happened and the punishment he was receiving, his uncle stated that his is already being suspended and yelling at in front of his peers and that it was punishment enough. I looked at him and told him to go parent his own kids, because this didn’t concern him. (he also doesn’t have any kids) and when he actually parents and raises his own children, he can tell me how to parent mine. He stormed out yelling that I was being a b**ch and that I was on a power trip. I think my punishment was suited and that it could have been worse so AITA?
Edit: His phone’s messages and recordings from other students had shown him harrassing her. I was so mad that I forgot to put that in there. So yes there is proof of him sexually harrassing a female student.
