Sue,

I am not a lawyer but please forgive me for answering anyway.

How *could* you not say anything? It's not something you need to go through as a
part of growing up. Your pupil may have this problem again but there's no need to
send her directly into the lions' den. There are good teachers around who don't
harass their pupils. If she wants to go anyway that's her business....
