[QUOTE="slsh, post: 384102, member: 8"] Shari - I also felt it was probably a stall/distraction maneuver. While I understand k's point, I think the problem your SD is going to have in pulling too many outside agencies in is that eventually there is going to be an agency that is going to call SD on their simply breathtaking failure over the past year and a half to educate Wee. There is way too much documentation from way too many sources of SD *not* doing their job. No, life in your home isn't always hearts and roses, but you are doing a simply fabulous job of managing Wee's behaviors - and SD is not (at least until recently). I honestly believe that SD is looking for that one person/agency who will lay the "blame" squarely at your feet - you're a bad parent, using bad techniques, causing all these behavioral problems (I think most of us have been through that in one form or another). That way, it's not SD's problem. While nothing is every guaranteed, I think even if CFS and juvie got involved, you of all people could have a pretty high comfort level that they're not going to come up with- any glaring problems in your home and management of Wee. Personally, I think SD should feel free to call the police as often as they want - there is not a chance in heck police are going to arrest your son in my humble opinion, and it highlights the utter incompetence of the SD. It's a risky proposition in terms of how traumatizing it could be for Wee, but... just based on my experience, I wouldn't sweat it a whole lot. thank you actually broke his teacher's arm at the age of 9 - a report was filed with- the police, but they never came out, never had any interaction with- him for that incident. Around here anyway, the combination of a Special Education student and severe mental illness (even into his teens) was pretty much a guarantee that no officer wanted to touch him with- a 10 foot pole when it came to criminal charges. We all bring our biases, based on our own experiences. Perhaps the best response to sped dir's request is that since what is being done right now seems to be working, let's not "fix" it. [/QUOTE]
