[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I agree that I have always understood the immunity to apply to official functions only, but we all know of specific case-by-case situations where diplomats have not been charged with speeding tickets, or much worse. However, I have to admit that until recently I have never given much thought to the immunity applying to their children.

DC's school has several children from the foreign diplomat community -- it's been great for the most part. However, there are a couple that repeatedly get in to trouble for seriously acting out in class, punching other children (we're talking serious/real punches to the face and front of body),starting foodfights in the cafeteria, and just all sorts of other similar infractions that just seem to progress and mount up as the years go by. The kids get sent to the vice principal's office and then wind up back in class.

Granted, my DC's haven't been significantly impacted by any of this because they haven't been targeted by any of these kids -- yet. However, they see what happens at school, I have witnessed several things happen over the years on field trips and at school functions myself.

MY DC's are starting to get quite annoyed by it and they have asked me why the kids don't get suspended, etc. I honestly have no answer because I'm not overly aware of everything that happens -- just a casual observer. [/quote]
