When Mrs. Hennessy first found out about the abuse from her son, she went to the school and confronted an official named Probst. Probst didn't take her allegations or those of her son seriously. However, Probst DID call the office to try to undermine the family's credibility. Read an excerpt from the article:
Hennessy and Fisher then left for the Clinton County Children and Youth Services offices in downtown Lock Haven.
Before they arrived, Probst called the county office in an apparent attempt to undermine the family's claims. A person familiar with the call told USA TODAY that just minutes before the family arrived, Probst suggested that the office regard Hennessy's claims with a grain of salt, making a reference to Hennessy's volatile personality.
This, according to parents we have interviewed, also happens in Berks County. Individuals engage in covert attempts to undermine the credibility of certain individuals in an attempt to sway cases to go a certain way.
