[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 512059, member: 59"] I agree with everything you said Kathy. What he is suggesting is certainly worth considering but it takes a lot of time and effort and training. Actually he said that teachers now ar enot trained but there are clear indicators that they can be trained on and then referred to social servoice organizations who take it from there, similar to the way teachers now report suspected abuse. DDD he doesn't at all suggest teachers interact with students on fb or other social media but that if they suspect a student is troubled use it for information. I think most schools have policies against that. I have often thought there should be some mens where students or parents can anonymously or confidentially report students they felt were mentally unstable or were saying or writing disturbing messages. I know there are no easy answers but people want to know how to prevent this from happening and unfortunately it involves a lot of efforts that we don't currently have the resources or training to do. And Kathy you know I know teachers are stretched to the max now and are not paid enough for what they have to do, but in a way it is a compliment to your profession to be considered the first line in helping to identify students who are in trouble. The problem is you aren't given the tools to work with after you identify them. by the way in the court hearing held just a short time ago, it was announced that in questioning him he said he did not know these students and he picked them randomly. They did not bully him or harm him in any way and it was not about drugs. He was sent back to detention and is required to be charged by March 2. Nancy [/QUOTE]
