Student disclosed illegal activity

Hi ya’ll. I am pretty troubled by a recent situation that happened. I am a counselor and I work at an alternative school. So basically one of my underage students disclosed that they sent pornography that was violent and illegal in nature to another underage child online. I spoke to my supervisor about the disclosure and they recommended to call the police.

Fast forward two days and the parents called a meeting with school district liaisons, school directors, etc. The parents said that I was lying about the situation and their child painted a different story. They berated and yelled at me the whole meeting and now do not want me to interact with their child at all. Leadership agreed that I did the right thing but didn’t defend me at all and caved to the parents wishes and suspended services. I am feeling completely betrayed, lost, and wondering if I really did the right thing in disclosing. This is my first job out of grad school and I just want to do what’s best for my kids but I have legal obligations as well. Hoping to hear kind words, advice, anything 🩷
