[QUOTE="Star*, post: 277185, member: 4964"] HI - Here's the part you do not want to hear. The school has a right to call the police if they feel there was an assault. Verbal, physicalor threatening gestures are all grounds for a school resource officer to take your child to Department of Juvenile Justice. Dude's first trip to Department of Juvenile Justice was after several warnings by the school and finally when a little girl hit him with her purse, upon her swinging the thing again he grabbed it, broke the strap, she cried and we all got to go 35 miles to the county Department of Juvenile Justice office where it was put on his permanent record. My attempts to have HER arrested under assault with a forged instrument failed. She could cry - he was cute.....and a labled troublemaker. Your letter /reply is pretty good, but sounds a little like you're trying to save him from them. You need to stick to facts, and leave ANY emotion out of it and don't presume to know what your child would or wouldn't be happy with. Telling them he would probably enjoy jail is a one way ticket to playing "WEll lets see how you like this kid - your MOm said you would like it." So ---- I would start like this: Dear So & SO Thank you for your attention to my sons special needs. As you are well aware our son has a diagnosis of not otherwise specified mood disorder, and ADHD. We're also not ruling out BiPolar (BP) disorder. We have an appointment with a therapist\therapist\whatever on XX,XX, 2009.
