Virginia 6th grader suspended because he waited too long to report classmate who brought bullet to school, family says

The student’s mother applauded her son’s actions, telling him, “You did the right thing. You hold your head up high and you let other kids know that they need to report something if they see something.”

Looks like good Halloween candy! One bullet! I mean, WTF! What did they think the kids were going to do, get a hammer out of the teacher's desk and start beating on the primer charge? The kid turns the malfeasant student in and the best they can do is suspend HIM? For "waiting to long?!"

Why are those plastic?

I completely understand why the boy didn't say anything sooner. He didn't want to be labeled a snitch, but if he had to be given any kind of punishment for how long he remained quiet, it shouldn't have been as severe as the punishment given to the kid who brought the bullet to school.

God bless you and the boy always!!!

P.S. What is awful is that the boy who came forward wanted to remain anonymous and is that happening for him? No. In other words, how can the authority people expect anyone to come forward in any situation if their identity will not be kept private???

 

[pknopp]

An example of adults with no common sense.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but can the boy and his family legally go after whoever blabbed about him being the one who came forward?

God bless you and his and his family always!!!

Why are those plastic?

They're polymer-coated cast lead/tin/antimony. Nobody uses bullet lube on cast bullets these days.

his parents who cried to the news over the whole thing. kid should have told immediately. its a fair punishment. what if that kid had gun with him too and shot some one.;

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ His identity being exposed is a part of the punishment and to me, that is what isn't fair. The two-day suspension makes sense, but getting his name out there as the whistle blower was over the line. If the authority people want us to say something after we get wind of something about to go down, they need to learn how to keep a better lid on their mouths where a whistle blower's identity is concerned, or nothing will ever be shared in the future.

God bless you and the boy always!!!

What does the time frame have to do with it?

The two-day suspension makes sense,

No it doesn't.

 

[BackAgain]

Children make some childish decisions.

Some adults would have hesitated before reporting the bullet, too. But the child gets screwed over that delay?

Please. This is bullshit.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Another thing that needs to be considered is the fact that even if things are said, will anything be done after something is said? That kid who shot his teacher in Richmond, VA last year I believe it was, things were said about the kid before he pulled that trigger because he had already showed signs of what kind of mind frame he possessed. Things were said by other people who worked at the school and not a thing was done about him and so maybe this boy who kept quiet was quiet at first because he didn't believe that anything would be done and so I am changing my mind about it making sense that he be given the punishment that he was given for his silence because at the end of the day, being put in a situation to where anything has to be said in the first place is already punishment enough.

God bless you and him always!!!

Well that suspension beats my suspension due to washing my hands. If another kid bring a bullet to school, suspend the kid who brought the bullet, not the one reporting the issue. God principals are handing out more and more ridiculous suspensions.

I could see more of getting suspended for picking your nose than washing your hands. Give me a break!!

Catholic schools get to make their own rules even if they cut their economic throats with adverse publicity over nothing not to mention a law suit that will cost them money. . Put the kid in a public school.
