[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think your DD ran her mouth a little and was out of line. She doesn't know the circumstances around Larla, and she has probably erroneously assumed she wasn't allowed to be there. Had she just kept her mouth shut instead of raising a bunch of drama, none of this would have happened and you wouldn't be fretting about a reply from the principal. [/quote]

I agree.  Your daughter needs to mind her own business.

I'm not the OP, and I can see that maybe the daughter should have not talked to a high school student about this, but do you honestly think a situation where an adult tells a middle school kid that she's going to sue her is okay? Especially when her daughter has been punished for threats?[/quote]

Np. I think it's fine for an adult to tell a kid she's out of line. If you heard a 13 year old talking shit about your child, what would you do? OP's child does not know the whole story of why larla was arrested, and therefore should not be talking about her to other students. And if she chooses to do so, she can expect the other mom to confront her.

This is just a learning experience for op and her daughter. Nothing more, nothing less.

[b]Btw, op says some things that cause me to think she's not credible: her claim to know all the details about Larla's offenses AND punishment; her claim that NONE of the other students knew Larla had a sister at the same school; her claim that the principal told her that Larla's mom shouldn't have been in the position to talk to her DD (that's not logical, there's no rules that a parent can't talk to a child). Not credible. [/quote]

? It is very, very common for middle and high school-aged kids to be aware of threats made against the school or specific kids by students (because sadly, they're often made publicly on social media or in other kid-accessible forums). OP didn't say she knew the punishment--she said she knew what the disciplinary code said the punishment was, and assumed they had followed it. In our district, kids who are expelled for safety violations are not permitted on campus until/unless they are readmitted.

There are several kids at our child's school who don't share the same last names, and I wouldn't necessarily know they were related if I didn't happen to know their families. That doesn't sound particularly odd at a large school, particularly if the sibling is younger so the two were never enrolled at the same time. And all schools that I'm familiar with have policies that require parents coming into the school to sign in with administrators first, and not to come directly into an event. I think that's more common than not these days. I'm guessing this school has the same policy but just wasn't following it for whatever reason, hence the principal's comment.[/quote]
