<human>: Hi Reddit.  This is a throwaway.

My mother works for a unified school district in the United States.  They have recently updated their systems and have moved towards computerizing everything.  She now has an email account with this school district.  She is new to computers so she just leaves her account logged in so she does not have to log in every time.  Her supervisor came in to do a routine check up on her work and proceeded to use her email account (without her permission.)  She was standing behind him while he was typing the email and did not know that he was using her account.  He did not ask her for permission.  He sent an email, essentially complaining, to the school district and signed it with her name.  He has done this on two accounts.

My mother does not have the best english, and her job does not give her very much power or leeway to immediately speak up about these things.  From what she has told me, it seems like this guy is a complete asshole who is using his power to try and undermine my mother.

I am essentially asking, What are the implications of this supervisor using my mother's email AND signing an email he sent from her account with my mother's name, without her permission.  Is this illegal?  What can she do that would not hurt her job?

I have saved a copy of this email, though I don't see an immediate way to prove that he was the one that sent it.  I guess the only way to differentiate would be by looking at the language that they use in the email.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: My mother's supervisor used her email account to send an unsatisfactory email and signed that said email with her name, without her consent.  He is a bully and may be doing this to other employees of the same school district.
