female girl stalked/harassed by male student

[1997concerned]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts

My daughter is being harassed/stalked and stared at by another student since February 2009. Now they have moved on to another school and the student is doing his usual staring. I had sent a letter to this school request the boy have no classes with my daughter. The school has put him in the same lunch. He stares at my her, tells other students he knows her scent, he says he's "waiting" for her. He follows closely to her. Other students are aware of this situation and my daughter has gone to the Vice Principal for two weeks now. They are trying to talk to the boy...asking him how ths makes my daughter feel and giving him advice to take another stairway or to look another way when he is eating his lunch. Thsi is very upsetting to my daughter. She feels uncomfortable and hides behind other students when he is staring at her. What are my rights as a parent? What are my daughter's rights? What steps should I take to end this harassment?

You can't really prevent someone from looking at someone else (even when it constitutes "staring"). What else has happened?

How is your daughter being harassed exactly?

How old are these students? And is there such a thing as a male girl?

I was wondering the same thing, OG!

Sometimes it is the obvious questions that just get me thinking. I am sure there could be a male girl.

But I also think the age is very important. Are these preschoolers who have moved to kindergarten? Fourth graders who moved to fifth grade? Sixth to junior high? From junior high to high school? Or college students who transferred colleges and just happened to end up at the same university?
