+1 There is no reason for violent behavior to occur within any classroom. Special classes, teachers, and aides will likely be needed for students with behaviors that involve physical aggression towards others. |
Do you have a child with special needs? |
Is it possible to file a restraining order against a violent child in class? |

No. |
Why not? This seems reasonable and would require the school to send the offending student to another school. |
Reasonable to file a restraining order against an eight year old? Maybe if the kid brought a knife to class. Not if they have ASD and hit someone. |
How about a nine year old who punches? I would file it. |
Or move the kid whose parents got the order. Not that they’d be able to get such an order. |
You can try. |
I don’t disagree, but I strongly suspect your idea of what constitutes “violent” would change. Particularly for a young child. |
The violent offender would be moved. And yes, these orders are possible. |
You can pursue a "peace order" against a minor in Maryland.
https://www.womenslaw.org/laws/md/restraining...-order-against-minor I have only ever seen it used once though. This was after a group of 6 9th graders attacked a teacher's car with the teacher inside of it just off school property in full view of neighbors. All of the students were put in night school or or home education since they weren't allowed on the school site when the teacher was working there. This was an alterative school, so there was literally no other place to send them after coming to us other than medical/therapeutical placements. |
No one here is talking about all SPED kids or kids like yours, but then, you already knew that. |
The disruptive kids in my (multiple) kids’ classes have been almost exclusively privileged white males. You were saying? |
