the school social worker apologized for it but the school teacher who made the accusations that my mother was drunk when she never was actually never apologized and even told Dale the next day at school that she tried to help you even though we knew our mother wasn't actually drunk and the school teacher never actually helped us.
That sounds really tough, and I'm sorry your mom had to go through that. The situation might benefit from legal advice, especially regarding potential defamation or discrimination. Would you like to connect with local lawyers who can help address these concerns?
