perhaps their zero tolerance policy CA
There were a couple cases in CA when I lived there that involved school kids displaying American flags either on their clothing or flying from their bicycle. In both cases the kids were sent home to placate hispanics who were flying Mexican flags. School administrators were slapped down, as they should have been, in both cases.perhaps their zero tolerance policy CA
i'll use myself as example....... back when my kids were in school i get a call from the vice principal who said my son was involved in a 'projectile incident'
so i beat feet down to the school to learn he had made a snowball, and was trying to hit the flagpole with it
said vice also informed me the school gym teacher 'took him down' before he could make another snowball......
it took a lot to keep a straight face .......

Bbbbut, bbbbut, bbbbut, that's diiiiifferent. That kid is autistic and can't help himself.
What if what was done was not done as a prank? What I want to know is if anyone has ever once bothered to ask the boy about why he did what he did? Instead of automatically labeling him a bad guy, why not take an interest and respectfully ask him to explain why he did what he did. His answer could be something that no one has ever once considered.
For crying out loud -- WHY? The kid arranged soda cans in a shape that resembled a gun in some Karen's mind. He owes no explanation. He didn't do anything wrong.
that's just plain wrong Sue
detention hall comes to mind
Nope. Teachers are not allowed to keep students after school or deny them recesses in CA. It is ridiculous. These feral kids know it too. LOL, I remember my years in school when corporal punishment was the norm. I am well acquainted with the "board of education" My parents made it very clear to me that I had best not come home whining about getting swats in school because I undoubtedly did something to deserve it and if I got swats at school and they found out, I would get worse at home. I find it surprising that I have not been scarred for life because of those policies.
I agree, but that is why I say what I said in my previous message here. Nothing wrong was done, but a person can still ask about why the boy did what was done. Asking questions is how things are learned.
Same here CA , admittedly i was a tad 'uppity' as a kid, and was reprimanded often , and there was no whining about it at home being one of 3 brothers to a WW2 combat vet, who was all for it......
I think that the parents would most likely prevent a police or social services pshch from talking to the boy. The system in America is too combative already to have any cooperation on finding answers before it's too late.
I only know that looking at him as if he is already a monster could be just the thing to push him all the way over the line.
That's already a possibility that should be considered, but it's contemplating the worst for the boy.
Have you sought YOUR mental help yet, duck?
If you think that he has turned violent already, what makes you think that little children will be his only target? Also, saying that providing him with mental help should not be ignored is like you are saying that everyone who does what he is guilty of should be getting mental help which leads me to this question. If the boy and his ilk need mental help, what are we to do with those who have a real weapon in their possession? Do keep in mind that law enforcements officers automatically have a weapon. Does this mean that they should be getting mental help?
