[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 202707, member: 1680"] Thank you all for the responses. Here is the update. One if the children has been having big difficulties and the reality is this school is not fit for these behavioral problems BUT they are trying hard to work with the mom and give the child time to work on medications before saying you are expelled. The child has been suspended twice (explained to the class that he is just in need of a break). The mom is somewhat socially odd herself. As for my friend, when she brought it up to me again and was fed up with this mother I was able to say a number of things such as: *(without saying the diagnosis) My son had a SEVERE reaction to an ADHD medication and it caused him to be hopsitalized. I would not wish it on any child or mother. We do not know why the child is acting the way he is so we need to be compassionate and yes still be concerned about the well being of our child. *Understand that this child is in need of help and I agree that this school is not equipped for this type of challenge but he needs help. *We can not hold against the child the oddness of the mother. that just makes it that much more sad for the child. She does not seem to know how or what to do even when given the information. *I gave the mom a ton of information about local doctors, therapists and in/out patient options. *I asked my friend how her son is doing as far as learning and she is very happy, so I said the school as been able to manage to help our children as well as trying to give this kid some time. Well, by the end of the talk she said some postive things and was willing to try to understand . She even e-mailed me that night and wanted to make sure I knew that if something like this happened with my son she would be suppotive. Who really knows? Anyway, I felt better that I said something and did it in a well thought out way. Thanks again, Bugsy's mom [/QUOTE]
