[QUOTE="Suz, post: 418537, member: 29"] I don't know. As much as I want to agree with most of you, I guess I will play Devil's Advocate. I saw the boy and his Mom interviewed on GMA. He admitted what he did, he admitted that he really did feel that way (that he wanted to kill his teacher). He used "Mother-f***" numerous times, apparently. In recalling the incident,his eyes were clear and he had the hint of a smile on his face. My impression was that the boy was enjoying the attention and didn't have one shred of remorse over his actions. None. His Mom declared that school was the only place he had trouble. If you step back, can you say the same for your difficult child? Is Mom kidding herself? He was in a special behavioral class. He would have to have a lot of history of misbehavior at school before he was placed there. Remember, "the least restrictive environment" is the law in school. It took Rob years in the school system to be placed in such a class..middle school in his case and trust me, he was no picnic for his teachers in elementary school...it took this little boy only a couple of years. They also said that this was the third time the police had been called to the school for this particular boy.l I don't know if this was excessive or not. I don't know if Mom is kidding herself or not. I do suspect that there is a lot more to this story than we have heard so far. I would not rush to judge anyone at this point. Suz [/QUOTE]
