Defamation when letter is sent to employer saying I am incompetent
A parent sent a letter to my employer at school demanding I was incompetent and be fired after taking her 17 year old son to the school doctor w/o her permission after he requested he be checked for broken ribs after a fall at home. I was not found in error for following potential abuse protocol. I live in a small community and she has also said unture statements in the community. I no longer feel I want to handle the health duties at school for fear of a parent trying to sue and am not going to do this next school year so I am losing this small but important income after 15 years of flawless service. Isn't this defamation of character?
