[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427514, member: 1233"] I have not read the responses but I would call the police AND a lawyer. The school did NOT provide safety for your son and they do NOT call the cops hewn they should. They KNOW they have a legal liability issue and it is why they did not call the cops. GO AND CALL IF YOU HAVE NOT. You must not only protect your child but you must teach him how to protect himself. even if it is a hassle. He was choked to unconsciousness. he could have DIED. This other boy TRIED TO KILL HIM. THAT is what it is when you choke someone unconscious. It is NTO a game. THis other boy may have problems, but it does NOT mean he should be given a pass for this behavior. I am STUNNED that others say to not call the cops. Stunned and saddened. Yes, your son teased him and behaved badly. It is NTO an excuse for violence. WHY did the sped teacher allow the teasing to continue? Why did she not call the police when the boy choked your son? WHO thought it was a good idea to tell your son he shouldn't use the bathroom between classes because it was the most dangerous place?? YES, it is unsupervised but NO place in a school should be DANGEROUS. If it IS? Then the school needs to take strong, swift action to keep the kids safe. Iw ent to a jr high that previously had a bad rep for things like this. The year before I went a new principal stopped the drugs and violence almost completely. He called the police when kids were violent. He pressed charges even though the district didn't want him to. He encouraged us to stand up for ourselves against bullying and violence. Drug dogs came in weekly but not on a regular schedule. they just showed up. IT was the safest school in the city by the time I got there. The principal CAN stop violence and MUST. NO child should be told to skip class time to use the bathroom because it is too dangerous to go between classes!! That is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! To sacrifice learning time for safety in a SCHOOL????!!!!!?! WHere are the adults and who took their spines away?? The thugs are running the place. JEss was molested by students in her jr high hallways.
