Abuse of Power..!!

My youngest daughter has a teacher, who it seems, like to intimidate his pupils and instill fear into them in order to get them to tow the party line. He isn't what i would describe as a big man nor is he anything to write home about, not to me anyway, but then i am not 4 foot something nor am i 10 years old, therefore submissive i may be to my Master, but where this jerk is concerned... i am a formidable enemy to have ...and i think Master and i might just have instigated world war four and a half where this man (if i can call him that, when he feels that to scare his class into silence is acceptable) is concerned today.
To intimidate people (little or otherwise) in this manner is to use what power you feel you have over them in order to get something.. maybe in order to feel more in control or more able to be seen to be in control and i find that to be so annoying and certainly not justifiable ... in this instance.. to instill fear in my child to get results or to be seen to have his class under control. He has tried on several occasions to tell me that my child (or any other) is not afraid of him but i am not convinced and now it is time to do something about it.
The use of fear tactics under any circumstances is not acceptable and altho in this instance i am talking about a child...dominated by a man in the guise of a teacher, who i guess is at least 40 something, i find that totally reprehensible and i am going to take this all the way to the top if i have too.... He has to be stopped. To dominate within the lifestyle is consensual on the part of both the parties involved and it has been said many many times before, that once it goes beyond the realms of consent, it becomes abuse... an abuse of power, an abuse of physical strength and in the instance of my child and her teacher... use of his intellectual prowess as well..... over a 10 year old.

Within D/s the use of the power exchange as stated, is consensual, and as such, both parties know from the outset, each others limits and/or expectations, they are more than likely to be of a similar mindset of the aspects of the lifestyle that both are willing to take part in and should have both agreed, prior to any deeper involvement, a pattern to the whys and wherefore of the relationship. What each are looking for within that relationship may differ considerable to what another couple might be looking for, but as a general rule, as long as those involve are consensual, then whatever they might decide, is for their choosing and no one has the right to tell then that they shouldn't be doing this or that..
The building of trust within a lifestyle relationship can take a while, but once it is established, as long as it isn't abused, it can be built upon until it is sufficient to enable the couple to move further into what it is that both seek.
My daughter it would seem, is not afforded that right.... i mean.. she is only 10 years old and has no ability to tell this jerk where to get off, instead, is now having to go about this scholastic year in fear and trepidation and watch her back at all times. What makes this different, other than the fact that she is only 10 and we are talking about an education system here, is that if this behaviour was viewed within a lifestyle context, people would be screaming "Abuse"

Well good people.....i am beginning to scream...not to loudly right now.....but boy oh boy...the man had better start watching his back because as i say..submissive i may be within a consensual relationship with Master...but where my children are concerned... i can and will be a force to be reckoned with.

i'll let you know how the saga continues.
