[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 125853, member: 1991"] Maureen, I hope he gets some APPROPRIATE assessment and intervention. It does sound like more is going on that you have been made aware of. Why was school the trigger? Was there something happening there that was the final straw? Are there any kids in his class you could talk to, to get some clues? And now for some site suggestions - 1) You don't need to individually reply to people in separate posts. It's harder on you, and it's hard to know anyway, who you're replying to. Easier for you - simply put it into ONE post and address each person by name if part of your message is just for them. We all get to read everything anyway (which is a good thing, because we're all stickybeaks). If you really want to communicate privately, you can send a PM (private message) to an individual. 2) Especially since you and your husband have a certain profile, I would HIGHLY recommend you go anonymous here. OK, WE'RE harmless here, but if you use your real name you can be tracked. I'll give you an example from my own situation - a lot of difficult child 3's troubles were NOT helped by the local school's mismanagement. I needed advice from people here, which meant I needed to describe the problems in detail. Sometimes the advice included information I had to keep to myself (or at least keep from the school) so I could take whatever action I needed to. BUT - I also know that one of the teachers in particular, was tracking anything I wrote. If I had an article published - she would get a copy of it and show it to the other teachers. I never said anything that wasn't true, but I also wasn't always complimentary about the school (which I never publicly named). But any time I used my real name online, or any other clear identifying information - she would be able to track me. By not using my real name, or the real names of any of my family members (which is why so many of us use 'code' to describe our families) we are more free to vent without fear of litigation or personal attack. Sometimes on this site I will give information which means I could be tracked from this site back to my real identity - but that's OK. The chances of this teacher finding tis site and reading it enough to perhaps recognise me enough to want to backtrack - unlikely. It's being tracked the other way that is the hazard to your privacy and your freedom to speak. Unfortunately, the world does have people like this. Especially when you are dealing with officialdom, you will strike some people now and then who will want to keep an eye on you and what you might be saying about them or about the system. A simple Google search can find you, if they plug in your first name, your husband's first name and "praise ministry". It mightn't matter to you now, but it might in the future. Hang in there, keep your focus positive and be kind to yourself and your family. Marg [/QUOTE]
