[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 152952, member: 1697"] Terry- becuz of various reasons, I have spent the last 2-3 years in court (one of my kids is a victim and the case has been draggin, and my moms estate is in probate and that is also dragging) and I sit there and hear all kinds of cases before the judges, hear clients in hall with lawyers etc. We also meet with victims advocate and update with detectives now and then etc. Plus we had a bad time when difficult child was in Special Education class and she was being victimized and we had a bad run with related vandalism from some of her classmates. Turns out so much more occurs here than EVER makes the paper or TV or anything. LOTS more. Our town was named a "Destination City" last year or year before. I have often wondered if our town works extra hard to keep things out of the media becuz of that? Several years ago I spoke in front of several committees etc about Special Education here....and then I was interviewed for newspaper. WHat came out in the newspaper was nothing even close to what I had said, even tho they used quotations around what they said I said. I do not put a lot of trust in what the newspaper says anymore, BUT I still thought had the threat been in paper or on news or whatever, it would let parents be aware there was aa problem. I feared some parents might think their kids made up some fantastical story, and some parents might not hear anything at all, and not even be aware there was a threat. Whew. I think we have less than a month left to the school year and then easy child graduates. I already homeschool my son, so I will be done with this district. I am glad. [/QUOTE]
