defamation

[pampoof]

To make a short version: I work with mentally challenged adults. I caught a girl stealing. I called all clients in a room and talked to them about stealing and threated to call police. Incident was reported to my boss. The girl's mother was really mad,although I didn't accuse her personally. I was turned into mental health and they investaged and said I "abused" them by confining them in a room. They made a complaint to DSS. Meanwhile I was suspended with pay untill investagation is over. I keep a down's syndrone girl in the afternoon. My boss's sister-in-law to be exact. She was told by her boss that the investagation was all confidential. She told her brother-in-law, who is the girls guardian, he in turn called and told me I would not be keeping her any longer. He thinks I abuse people now. I have lost income not to mention a reputation. Can I take legal action?

Hard to tell..........Evidence needed to take legal action is much more than this. I don't think you have a shot now or just based on this.
