[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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?[/b][/quote]

School does nothing either.  The child needs real ongoing mental health support and that isn't what the school can provide.

I disagree and think that suspension is needed for the safety of the rest of the students. The safety of other students is not "nothing".  
Suspension also offers this students a respite from school which might be causing serious anxiety.  [/quote]

they did suspend him[/quote]

So bringing a taser only gets a suspension?[/quote]

What should it be?? Hanging?  Get a grip. He is a KID![/quote]

That’s not how it went as there was a threat made by this child to the school for what he was already previously having disciplinary action for. When he returned to school he had a taser.[/quote]
