[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427567, member: 1233"] I forgot about the safe school stuff. Here the district has flyers and posters with a toll free number to anonymously report dangerous things in schools. They are at the entrance hall of every school in the district. It is a state wide program. I think most states have them. Marg is right. this IS a deeper and longer running problem. The school needs to do a LOT with regards to these issues. There really are parents of kids who do not think they are bullies or that they would do things like this. I have known parents of kids that scared me, kids that I would not want to be alone with anywhere, because they were violent and unpredictable. But the parents thought that their kids were being picked on or people were making it up. I have also known parents who denied drug problems and the associated behavior when anyone else who met the child just once could see the signs - including stoned behavior. So the boy who choked your son may actually have a parent who has no clue because they are so far in denial. Hopefully this attack will be what gets some help for the boy and he can learn to react differently. I am deeply worried about ALL the kids in this school because the reaction of the teacher and the principal and the entire school seems dangerous and bizarre. We don't have zero tolerance policies here but no way would the police not be called and no way would the parent not be told and no way would an ambulance not be called. OUr school district's insurance policy mandates it for anyone who loses consciousness. the teacher who did not call 911 would be fired here. Any teacher who told a student to not use the bathroom because it wasn't safe between classes would be fired because it is their job to make sure kids are safe. If it was truly that dangerous it is the teacher's job to get the principal to do whatever is needed to make the bathrooms safe for all kids. I truly hope you call the superintendent of schools and the head of the school board about this. They NEED to know that this is happening and is being allowed to happen. Any time a student loses consciousness they NEED to be checked out by doctors and parents need to be notified. You son will likely need to discuss this with a therapist to help him work through it. Being choked out is terrifying (been there done that myself). Be aware that he may show signs of PTSD after this - and make sure that help is available even if he protests.
