[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else considering reaching to the administration on Monday to see what threat level we might expect on Tuesday.  In other words, will this kid be at school and/or will police be onsite?  With spring break discussion of this has subsided on DCUM, AEM and the Swanson FB page but it's been on my mind.  [/quote]

And what makes us think he'll limit his eyes on Swanson? If he's not allowed back and not in any sort of help program, he can literally go anywhere.[/quote]

Because he made his threats against Swanson it's not unreasonable that parents there might be a little more worried than at other random schools.  Compassion, please.  [/quote]

You are misunderstanding. This kid went to elementary school with kids at Kenmore too. He can probably walk to WMS and Hamm. I'm saying if no one is really helping this kid, putting him in an appropriate program, he can literally cause havoc anywhere. He's a threat to the community. [/quote]

I'm not misunderstanding, I'm saying please stop making it about you and focus on the safety of the immediate area of concern.  Of course he is possibly a risk to the broader community, but at this very moment the threat he made was against one particular school.  Rather than making it all about yourself and your child at another school could you please give space for the families at this school (you know, the one whose name is the title of the thread) whose kids are on the receiving end of those threats?[/quote]

I understand that you have tunnel vision because you are at Swanson. I'm not personally worried this kid will come to my child's school, not even in the slightest. I'm worried about the disservice to kids like this who apparently need help - suspension does nothing. What support do they offer to reduce the threat?[/quote]

Too late, someone already picked up the torches and pitchforks for the mob.[/quote]

Everyone I know who has been actively engaging the school and APS has actually said both. One, that he shouldn’t be there. Because two, This boy needs help including placement in a school that can provide the services he needs. APS and his parents have failed this kid, and now the school community as well by letting it get to this point. We are hopeful that they will work to keep our kids safe, AND also get him help. You can do both - want the school safe and hurt for this child who obviously desperately needs help. [/quote]
