[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 488490"] I think you are 100% right. If it was a knee-jerk reaction when someone is "assaulted" by surprise, the damage done is accidental. I dare anyone to say that they would never swing an arm out defensively when "under attack". To me, that is what happened. That sounds like a couple years ago when difficult child 2 (would never hurt a fly) was ganged up on by 3 other boys in a secluded area near the school lockers. They were jumping on his back and poking at him (think gentle giant) and there were no teachers around. Another kid walked past just as difficult child 2 finally swung out so he could get away. The other kid told the principal what they saw. Principal got WHOLE story from difficult child 2. The 3 kids admitted what they had done. Nothing happened because "then we'd have to punish difficult child 2 also because he hit back". WTH? I was furious and things with that principal went downhill after that. Talk about individual interpretation of ZERO TOLERANCE. You go for it! Your son is lucky to have you for parents. [/QUOTE]
