[QUOTE="klmno, post: 434336, member: 3699"] Terry, in the state of VA, a public sd is supposed to report him/you if he has over a certain number of absences (I want to say 5 unexcused or 10 even if they are excused, but I'nm not posisitive). Even if the sd has overlooked this, if it ever comes out there can be an issue. I agree that it would be a good idea to call the sd and maybe asked the resource officer to get your son rolling next time instead of a cop on the street. I know you don't want to get your son in trouble (real trouble) or get long-term involvement from "the system", but I have a feeling that this is going to keep your son pushing more and more limits. Many of our difficult children figure out early on that the parent(s) doesn't want that involvement, tries hard to avoid it, and the kid just keeps pushing it more and more and more because they start taking that for granted. At least think about it and decide a "boundary" in your mind or a limit that if difficult child reaches that point with truancy, refusal to mind, etc, you would involve sd or police or someone. Would that be illegal ddrugs, violence, what? [/QUOTE]
