[QUOTE="WSM, post: 248830, member: 5169"] I pretty much envy people whose kids act up in school. Ours doesn't, he's polite and inquisitive and sweet. Well, he does act up in school. He took weapons 4 times, wrote how he wished his father was dead in a essay paper (just a line or two in the middle of innocuous stuff, like he was testing to see if anyone would notice), took his 6 year old sister off campus to a candy store, shook down at least one kid they know of (I know of 3 incidents) for $20 (the kid gave him the money because he felt sorry for difficult child), never did homework, have his agenda, wear his uniform, but... ...and here's the kicker... ...but the school actually told my husband this month that THEY never had any trouble with him and don't understand why we put him in military school. "What about the 3 times you had him arrested?" Oh yeah, well, the counsellor didn't know too much about that. The principal kept it hush hush. difficult child is so quiet and so helpful and so smart (his test scores are great) and so polite and seems to like everyone and everyone seems to like him. difficult child says he's being abused, that would explain why he's so withdrawn sometimes. difficult child said his stepmother (me) pushed him on the ground and jumped on his back 3 times, then dragged him by his hair. It is kind of puzzling about how the two forensic doctors found no evidence of abuse, not a bruise, or tenderness or swelling or internal bleeding and reported that difficult child has psychiatric issues, and the fact that he reported this abuse as he was being confronted for the 4th time for weapons in school was suspicious. But he's suuuuuuch a nice boy, so polite and so bright. Yes, maybe he took weapons to school, but he says they were planted on him, he says his stepmother 'wants him out of the house' and maybe his stepbrothers did it. Of course no one else's fingerprints were on the weapons, just his...but everyone else was just smart enough to wipe the weapon clean before they planted it on him, maybe. Such a nice little boy, whose big brown eyes fill with tears and little lip quivers in fear could not have possibly done it. They never have ANY trouble with him (despite the fact that he threw away all his text books, sabotaged his science and literature project, misappropriated lunch money, etc...) Everyone likes him, it must be the parents. Poor little boy. What do you do? It would be wonderful if he got caught vandalizing the school instead of our house, got caught stealing their property instead of ours, or had a tantrum in the classroom or accused a teacher of mistreating him. Bet they'd get him help right quick then. [/QUOTE]
