[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 406015, member: 3444"] Well, you haven't met my difficult child 2, have you? He took a Swiss Army knife to school in 5th grade, supposedly so he could use the magnifier on it to look at rocks during recess, which happened to be his current manic obsession. But because he'd been the victim of bullying for some time and one of the instigators started in on him again that day, difficult child 2 pulled it out of his pocket and made a verbal threat to the kid to get him to back off. It worked. But it also landed him in the principal's office, then suspended for 3 days, then subjected to a crisis intervention meeting with his teachers, his case manager, the principal, vice principal, school psychiatric and two reps from the district who ultimately concluded that there had been no malice aforethought, that difficult child 2 reacted impulsively due to his disorder, and that he was in fact a repeated target of bullying (one of the bullies was the principal's SON). The school let him come back and they promptly implemented a campus-wide anti-bullying campaign the rest of the year. I don't think even 6th graders are beyond stupid moves like this, especially a difficult child (and potentially that boy is one). [/QUOTE]
