[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure you can involve the police if children are being assaulted by other children.   We had this type of situation at a private - basically were told there was nothing they could do, but was made clear we were not constrained from contacting the authorities.  [/quote]

And so continues the school to prison pipeline. This is a child we're talking about. Do you really think this child should have an arrest record and perhaps be incarcerated so that your [b]child doesn't miss a few minutes of instruction? [/b]Do you think that's good for society long term?[/quote]

No, I wouldn't report for classroom disruption.  My child was once stabbed hard with a pencil by an out-of-control child.  He (my kid) came home mid day with a hole in his shirt and a bleeding wound.  I did not report this child because the school removed the child from the school within the next week.  Had nothing been done I would have reported the kid to the police (other parents did for similarly violent outbursts).  [/quote]

Agreed.  I'm the PP whose kid's classmate was stabbed by a pen and then hit in the head requiring an ER visit and stitches.  No one called the police when the kid just threw things or hit/punched/kicked kids.  But that crossed a line.   No charges were brought but it certainly got the school and parents moving a little faster.  [/quote]
