[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 334782, member: 1991"] I posted at length on your other thread. Seriously - if you can, keep him home while SpEd is not there. Yes, the school needs to put someone else available to him that he feels safe with, but that is their problem and shouldn't be wee's problem. THEY have to work on this and in the meantime, YOU need to keep Wee safe form meltdown and panic attack. Hitting the principal in panic should not be held against him. It was not a planned attack designed to cause harm and insubordination, it was the panicked response of an individual in flight. If you try to bathe a cat and it is terrified of water, it will scratch you to get away. Should you punish the cat? Of course not! But if a dog attacks a neighbour, just runs out and goes for the throat and causes serious harm, that dog is often destroyed. There is a very big difference between a panicked creature, and a dangerous one. Wee is not dangerous. He has special needs which the school knows about, and SpEd's absence, however necessary, makes wee's presence at school untenable. Measures need to be put in place to make school a safe place for wee and therefore others. Don't let them punish wee for this. Of course he knows to not hit people, but who can think when they're terrified? Marg [/QUOTE]
