[QUOTE="DDD, post: 32313, member: 35"] The situation is so complex, Kathy. It's hard not to assign blame on everyone, in my humble opinion. The school board (NOT the teachers) knows that these situations arise and yet there is not a plan that is child focused in place. We have lockdowns and drills for when a crisis happens of huge proportions. We have no plan that can be activated to address an emergency need?? Dumb! The police department has improved somewhat (believe it or not) but as I said earlier they have special negotiation teams etc. for adult crisis time but none for a child in crisis. The States Attorneys office in this county is like out of a bad movie. "Let's press charges" seems to come out easier than "Good morning". Two of the Judges pride themselves on being "tough on crime" (particularly juvenile crime) and haven't seemed to have time to read the statistics on how ineffective "setting examples" has proven to be. As you know many parents are not good at the job. My Dad who was an avid football fan used to say "the best defense is a good offense". I think that may be the case here. And then....the community climate is hypocritical to the max. In between their devotionals and meetings, the people with PCs want the difficult children separated from their society. I hate this word...I think you already know that...but it sucks! DDD [/QUOTE]
