[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 91911, member: 2459"] Oh yeah, that's been an issue in one way or another for years around here. My first reaction would be for you to notify the school and let them handle it. But, since you said he's already on thin ice with them, that probably isn't the best idea. However, if he continues with this and eventually starts taking bigger things, or people decide they have had enough, the school will step in anyway. Do you know any police officers that would be willing to talk to him or maybe do some sort of scared straight thing with him? The first time my son really got in big trouble at school, I called our local police department and asked if they had anything that needed done around the station. We live in a fairly small town so the city building houses the police dept., mayor's office, water dept. office and a couple of other things. I took him down there and he cleaned 6 bathrooms, 2 locker rooms and two entrances and one of the officers spoke to him. Granted, in our case it didn't really do much but I still liked that I did it. Another thought. Is he in counseling? If so, I would have his therapist talk to him about it and see if there is something behind his behavior. Even if there isn't, this would definately be something that could be worked on in counseling. Good luck, I know how upsetting and frustrating this kind of behavior is. P.S. Just read your signature and noticed his diagnosis. This kind of thing is (from what I understand) fairly common with BiPolar (BP) and/or ADHD kids because of the impulsiveness they have. [/QUOTE]
