Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Missouri

I had a aligation of abuse agaist me by a very upset teenager. The alligation was unfounded after an investigation, now the local small town police are showing up at my childrens school 3 weeks after the incident from which they were originally called and ignored and when my husband confronted the police officer he informed us "that he doesnt need our permission to talk to our children". We live in a very small town and now with the attention at the school numerous rumors are circulating. Is it legal for the police to show up at the school and pull my children out of class and interview them over something thats already been resolved by the state? My 16 year old was pulled out of Algebra and missed m ost of the lesson and had to stay after school 2 days to make up what she missed.

You should start local and work your way up. Call the Police Captain, then the Police Commission or commissioner, then the Sheriff. the KBI and the Attorney general's office. You might have to involve the FBI or the media. But, I reccomend that you hire legal counsel somewhere early in the process, to advise you step by step.

Good luck
