[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are none.

Last year a 1st grade boy who harassed my child constantly gave my son a drawing and said "This is a picture of me killing you with my knife." My son showed me the drawing and I photocopied it and sent it in to the school. Even though that child had a history of harassing my son and we had filed prior bullying complaint, there were no consequences given to this child because they said they couldn't "prove" it was him.

Sad where all this is headed:  since the schools are failing in their responsibility to maintain school discipline, parents will find alternatives.

In this case, PP, the drawing would meet the burden of proof for a restraining order.

No, I am not joking.  At least one other parent - I believe in the teen forum - brought it up after their child (a bully apparently), was the subject of a restraining order.

An order from a judge is an enforceable order on the school, since they are “in loco parentis” - a legal term of art meaning in place of the parents.

If the school fails to abide by the terms of the restraining order, you can easily go back to court and seek enforcement and/or damages from the school.

It is sad FCPS has chosen to go so “woke” and ignore basic school discipline.  But the results - restraining orders on students - should surprise no one.[/quote]
