[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427910, member: 1233"] This principal is trying to get you to let her bury this issue. The police tend to not take things at school seriously unless the school does. They follow the school's lead. We have one school that I could easily see this happening at. Our middle school. The other schools would NOT tolerate it. the student would be expelled, put on homebound as LRE if in Special Education. I have every confidence in this. The teacher would be fired here. You NEED to go to the superintendent and board of ed. Not just for your student. Parents need to know that kids who are there for activities are left unsupervised or with bad supervision (what the teacher gave was bad supervision). I am sure the parents think that the kids are bieng supervised and kept safe at school and this is NOT the case. If school had called 911 and said that the student was choking your son, sirens would scream and tires would squeal and handcuffs would be applied. I think the resource officer is paid partly by the school or else is friends with someone. what he said was partly right but overall NOT. The bullying would be taken into account. As it should be. But violence is NEVER to be tolerated at school. period. So telling you htat it was less serious because your kid bullied the other kid is WRONG. It sends a message to ALL kids that they are NOT safe because it is OK to hurt someone, even make them unconscious, if they are teasing you. Is that truly the message the school and police should send?? Your son didn't deny his part, which is good. I am super disturbed by the teacher who told your son it was not safe to go to the bathroom between classes. That he now had to be afraid to go urinate because the other kid could be waiting for him. If this is a problem then the school has a duty to supervise the bathrooms at that time. REGARDLESS of who has to go stand there and smell the funk of a restroom in a school. I know my jr high put teachers in all the bathrooms between classes, at lunch and before/after school because kids were smoking in there. What happened to your son was a LOT worse than smoking. That, at least, is a personal choice. being attacked is NOT. This must be addressed. The facts are that the school did not stop the bullying and did not take appropriate action when a student was attacked and fell unconscious. I am very sure that the school board would be highly disturbed to hear what happened, as would all other parents. I advise you to go and get an attorney to help you deal with this. The school or the other boy's parents should pay for the ER visit, any damaged clothing, and for emotional damages. I am sure your son will NOT feel safe at school for a while. I know I wouldn't. You also will be tense and worried about your child's safety for as long as he is at that school. How could you not be. An attorney would be your best ally in this situation. [/QUOTE]
