If you took paid time off (PTO), including sick leave, which you had not yet earned or accrued, if you quit or resign, you owe the employer the monetary value of the time--regardless of why you leave. Using time you have not yet earned is like a loan: while it is normally paid back over time, by working and earning it, if you leave before doing so, you have to pay it back some other way.That doesn't mean that you can't sue the parents/legal guardians of the student who molested your daughter, and also file a police report and look to press charges (though they will be likely handled in family, not criminal court, if the attacker is still a minor). It also doesn't mean that you can't sue the school, for failing to properly supervise students. It doesn't mean that you can't, in addition to reporting this to the police, also report it to the state and/or city agency licensing schools like this. You and your daughter have legal recourse. It's just that your obligation about the use of time are separate from the school's obligations to protect students; the one does not cancel out the other.
