More details to this question:
I have had two girls from work go to HR and make false claims against me and have been told there is nothing I can do but let it go. One of the girls I supervise and she does a lot of things against company policy and nothing has happened to her. She is still working she defies me at every turn and still nothing is being done. She pushes the buttons of other co-workers and they complain and still nothing has been done. I am at the end of my rope and even after telling my supervisor that I will not be able to keep control of all this stress being put on me still nothing has been done. It gets worse every day I cry all the time and getting depressed and have warned by boss I feel like I am going to lose control still no support.

You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits , ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

Find another job. Many employers are reluctant to discipline employees after they make a discrimination charge. If they do, they may be accused of retaliation.

Yes, of course there are certainly strategies that you can use with the help and guidance of a lawyer such as myself, who handles employment law cases for workers.
