[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 427627, member: 393"] seriously, I'm a bit late to this thread & have read most of the responses. I'm flabbergasted at the lack of supervision/response on the part of school employees & staff. If it's an after school event there should be at least 2 staff persons in the room with Special Education kids. I know from the tweedles if it's not seen or witnessed by someone who will talk immediately, not much will happen when it comes to a police report. I agree that 911 should have been called immediately. A principal should never ever assume that it's okay because the kid's walking for 10 minutes. Saying that, a "different tack" is generally taken with the special education students. While the repercussions of suspension come into play, the fact that an IEP for mental/emotional disability is on file, the disorder of this or that student is taken into account when reporting to police comes into play. Having dealt with wm on these issues, SD seems to believe that bringing juvie in will not address the underlying issues, i.e. social skills, speech impediments, emotional & mental health disorders, NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), etc, etc, etc. The very kids who tend to act out like this are the very kids who won't learn much in the juvenile system. Both kt & wm have been told to stay away from some of their peers because of situations of this nature. Easier said than done in some cases. A police report is a good thing. It gives documentation for any other episodes involving your difficult child & this young man. Keep us updated, please. [/QUOTE]
