You are crazy KK, but that is another issue (smiling) In the world of law, that action would be considered, assault. If the person touched you again after any sign of disapproval, those actions would be considered, assault and battery. This alone would lead to police intervention, a report, an arrest and money bond. The case would have to be heard by the court and a judgement. These actions would also lead to additional hearings, by the person's employment. These types of actions should not be tolerated by anyone, verbal or none verbal.

I am having a tough time deciding if this is wrong or I am being crazy. I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am paralyzed from the chest down except for my right arm. No feeling at all. I also can not speak. This aide has been with me about 2 months, M-F 5 hours a day. Yesterday we went outside on the front porch & she was talking to a neighbor. Suddenly she took my keys & ran them across my feet. I did nothing. Didn't feel it but saw her movements. She smiled & did it over & over again. It was like she did not believe I could not feel it. Now I feel this was inappropriate but not sure what she expected to get out of her actions. It has made me feel uncomfortable & dread her coming today. Maybe I am being weird. What do you think about it? KK =
