[QUOTE="buddy, post: 571895, member: 12886"] Where is common sense. These are professionals who are supposed to understand child development. There are many things they could have done that would not be ignoring it, but would have more appropriately dealt with it. When we were kids we used sticks and fingers and played cops and robbers outside. Whole neighborhood of kids and not one of is is a criminal as a grown up. If that is a suspendable behavior, millions of kids are going to be missing school. What happened to teachable moments. (Whole different story if there are other concerns ....suspension is still not the answer. ) well, if this happens and your child is on an IEP there are legal definitions of what a weapon really is. Uggg. My friends son who has autism got in trouble for drawing a picture of his school with airplanes going overhead and bombs coming down. Totally not a violent kid. But he had lived in the middle east for two years and that threat was real life for him. Instead of looking at his anxieties, they took it as a threat! Like he could get an airplane or bombs. The over reaction was crazy. [/QUOTE]
