[QUOTE="slsh, post: 380833, member: 8"] Shari - just my opinion here. The police are *not* going to arrest Wee or do anything else to him at this age and with his history. The SD's strategy of calling the police for these incidents is just further evidence that they in way over their head. If the outside-district school can't/won't take him, then SD needs to find another placement. They don't get away with saying there's nothing else. But it may very well take a DP hearing officer to remind them once and for all of their obligations to Wee. Calling police is not a behavior management strategy, and I think every time they do (or threaten to), it just digs them into a deeper hole and is yet another objective paper trail of *their* failure to educate him appropriately, to say nothing of how it affects Wee - what on earth does SD think police interaction is going to do??? Sheesh - it's like if not walking were a crime and Boo's SD called the police every time he didn't walk - it's the *disability* already. The SD needs to get competent people in (or find an appropriate placement) so that Wee can be educated. (I know preaching to the choir.) I'd be sorely tempted to remind them that, unless Wee is convicted and sentenced as an adult, SD is *still* going to be responsible for his education - they aren't going to be able to get rid of him this way either. This whole situation needs to come to a head and soon because every time this garbage happens it further disrupts Wee's already disrupted education. I know you know that - my heart just aches for you and Wee. Gentle hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
