In a similar situation, I was advised to voice my objections to continued contact in a certified letter. I hope that your situation resolves itself quickly.

I wasn't going to show anything to anyone at this time, just write back in a calm tone the next time she writes along the lines that Linda and others have suggested, clarifying the boundaries of the relationship. If the response is hostile or otherwise disturbing, I'll take it from there (after consulting with you all of course).

And while we usually treat sensitive information that a student has shared with us confidential, in this case keeping the correspondence private and not informing some administrator puts one in a very vulnerable position. At the worst (and highly unlikely) it could be construed as an indication that the attention was not unwanted. At best it prevents any administrative support should this student make an accusation of improper conduct on one's part. R.
