I respectfully told her that unless she gave me some complelling and viable information as to why a thrid trial of a medication that previously failed twice, was to be used as a sedative, given in the morning, for a kid who is exploding only one hour of the day in the middle of the afternoon in reaction to a known trigger, was a good idea, the answer was no, we will not be using Tenex again.
I am keeping him home today. The deputy is coming this afternoon. I am only having him talk to him, tho, we will remove the guns ourselves. We will do his school work, talk with the deputy about the seriousness of what he said, and remove the guns. I am trying to reach our advocate, too.
Frankly, I'm afraid to send him back with that general of a "behavior plan" in place; "If he threatens or acts in a way that an adult or child could be injured" is leaving it WIDE open. There's no considerations about triggering him again, etc.
Tomorow is his Valentine's party and an early out day. He would be devastated to miss the party, so I will probably take tomorrow off, as well, and go with him to school so he can attend the party AND not risk getting another suspension until we can get something in writing to actually deal with this kid, not just throw him out.
This is exactly what I was afraid would happen when I didn't send him there for Kindergarten. Things were going good, so I was beginning to think maybe, just maybe, it was going to work; maybe they really were going to work with him. Ah, but here we are...
