Victoria Nolet is an 11-year-old girl with autism who lives in the province of Ontario, Canada.  Victoria does not have much expressive language, and attends a class for autistic students at the Terry Fox School, operated by the Simcoe County School board.  Victoria has eloped from school several times.  The school seemed unable to keep track of Victoria, so her mother,  Colleen Leduc, had her outfitted with a GPS unit that also records an audio trace.

May 29th, Victoria's classroom aide visited a psychic, who told the aide that one of the students in her classroom was being sexually abused.

The classroom aide reported the psychic's assertion to the school, and the school in turn reported the mother to the local child protective services association.

And so a case worker came to the Leduc home to discuss the allegations
of sexual misconduct, only to admit there wasn't a shred of evidence
that anything had ever happened at all. They labelled Leduc a
"diligent" mother doing the best she could for her child under
difficult circumstances, closed the file and left, calling the report
"ridiculous."

The school cannot keep Victoria safe by preventing her school elopement behaviors. The district has not provided intensive behavioral intervention.  But responding to a psychic's allegations?  Up to speed.

No wonder parents of children in special education are often angry and frustrated.
