Do you have a restraining order against the boy? That might help in 3 regards:
1. Reframing the situation in your daughter's eyes as the boy being the problem.
2. Validating the seriousness of the situation with the school.
3. Securing insurance coverage for appropriate counselling.
Just a preliminary thought.
So sorry your daughter is going through this ordeal!! How hard not to unleash the inner mother tiger, isn't it? I don't even know you or your daughter, but your retrlling of the events has me feeling protective, even.
I'd like to reassure you, howlerkarma, that nothing can destroy your daughter's gift. Unfortunate circumstances such as the abuse may cause her to suppress it temporarily, but it will never be gone, and it can always be revived!
