Dear Amy: My daughter, “Carrie,” just started her third year of medical school. Carrie was out over the weekend with a lot of other medical students when one fourth-year student: a large, muscular guy — my daughter weighs about 100 pounds — started talking to her, and then proceeded to grope her forcefully. Carrie was too shocked to react; then she panicked and ran out of the bar and all the way back to her apartment in the downtown area of her city — alone. She is too embarrassed and traumatized to report this guy to the school, but her friends have offered to report him, without revealing her name. The man who did this is going to graduate as a physician next year, and even now is responsible for patient care. She made me promise not to talk to her dad about this and beyond offering love and moral support, I’m wondering if there’s anything else I can or should do. — Worried Mother Dear Worried: “Carrie’s” reaction to this assault is not unusual.
