[QUOTE="buddy, post: 506224, member: 12886"] Hi, so sorry you are in this battle... I can tell you that sadly, yes I too am in a fight. One advantage I have is that I called the Disability Law Center (division of legal aid) and they took his case right way. They wont usually defend criminal issues but this obviously is not! If you have that...ours drives to literally every corner of the state. If you can not find an advocate there, then call your state dept of ed and ask how you can get an advocate..and that it is an emergency. Along with that, ask for the oversight dept. for Special Education. You can lodge a complaint. I did that on behalf of my son years ago and they did an investigation and despite one of the investigators being married to the principal of the school my son was at (yeah I am really a lucky person, you think I could win the lottery?? ) we prevailed and the entire district was sanctioned. My son left because it was a district our home district contracted with (and stopped). They made huge legal errors and violated his civil rights (which after all is what this is all about in the first place... all of the educational rights for kids with special needs).... and you have a case...clearly. I am shocked he got in that much trouble for something verbal. Just really poor investigative work on the principals behalf.... they should fully get both sides and it would have been clear he was not even talking about the same issue. I dont know how he was doing before that but in our case, they are just plain sick of my son and want him out. His anxiety is rising which then makes his behavioral control worse. Can you file a restraining order on the girl? And even if you dont find a lawyer or advocate in time... tell them you are not going to sign anything until you have your legal advocate look over the paper work with you . If they ask you who you just say that is privileged information. None of it makes sense and I know how that feels. Are you being given opportunities to go to see placements? I am visiting places and will veto anywhere where he will be exposed to kids who are more sophisticated than he is (he is quite delayed and imitative and will follow anyone anywhere). Is your son vulnerable to that kind of thing? Some alternative schools are wonderful some are really rough. I know it is a lot of work, but start making calls in the morning... I spent all day until 3 on the phone today. I go thru it daily lately... it is so tiring and frustrating. HUGS and sympathy to you and your son. IT does sound like they are trying to intimidate you out of the school. If this is wrong for your son fight it. Let us know what you find out from an advocate.... [/QUOTE]
