[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 326300, member: 1514"] Maybe its just your state K...but here, they do regularly talk to parents and the kids and then make a decision on whether the charges from the school are legitimate. Cory was referred (I guess that would be the word) in 5th grade for taking a boy scout knife to school. Yeah he shouldnt have done it but he was playing with it from Billy and thought the fork, spoon and scissors on it were cool. He wanted to show it to his class for show and tell. He didnt consider it a knife because it had all those cool things in it. The school of course, freaked. They called us in and said they were referring it over to the juvenile authorities. Oh great. I was astounded. I was even more shocked when I got there and a guy who I used to work with was our court counselor! Eek! Talk about embarrassed. He listened to what Cory had to say, heard about how we had him in therapy and under a psychiatrists care and that Cory had a tech with him at the time this happened...and dismissed all charges. Obviously no intent to commit harm. Later on when he was in high school, someone attempted to throw a knife down in front of Cory and claimed that if fell out of Cory's back pack. They wanted to cuff him and hall him into the juvy cops. They called us to the school to discuss it and showed us the knife. Now at this time I was searching his stuff before school and after school and he was riding to and from with a tech..no way for him to access a knife. This was not a knife we ever had. We refused to let him take the fall and said unless they had an adult who SAW this happen...no way was he saying he did this. They couldnt prove it. [/QUOTE]
