is it an issue if a teacher in California shared on a dating sitethat a student has Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy and cannot attend a traditional school. What grade he is in. What grade he started with the teacher. That he lives in Desert Hot Springs. That he doesn't have much range of motion with his hands but he can draw with the computer. And which programs he draws in.
Yes, it could be a legal issue. This may violate:
- FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) which prohibits unauthorized disclosure of students' personal information.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) which protects medical information.
- California's own privacy laws.
I'd suggest consulting with a local attorney for specifics.
Same teacher Ryan, I’m sorry for not respecting your wishes with texting Aiden. I know I was wrong but I love the kid so much it killed me not to reply to his texts or send him a picture of something I knew he’d like. Even now, I’m still nervous you’ll use this against me. You fucking broke my heart into a million pieces with that email to the superintendent. What you don’t know is they suggested I fill out a restraining order on you. Which I never did because I was afraid it might jeopardize your custody of Aiden. I would never do that to you or him.
It seems you're dealing with a complex situation. If the teacher continues to contact Aiden against your wishes, it could be considered harassment. As you're in California, you could potentially file for a restraining order if this behavior continues. However, please consult with a local attorney for advice tailored to your situation.
