[quote=Anonymous]I work with kids like this daily.  Many people in our public elementary school are trained to transport or restrain a child.  Behavior specialists are available to possibly talk a kid through this type of situation.  Last resort, our security guard is on the scene as well but does not touch the child, more or less visible backup.

We might call parents if the child is extremely traumatized and that's the reason they are refusing to come in.  But as many PPs have said, we do not typically reinforce refusal behavior by sending them home early to play video games in the comfort of home.

We have called the police, but not for this type of situation.  It would have to be a violent, aggressive child who has hurt someone and/or appears to be about to hurt someone, i.e. throwing chairs, trying to bite, etc.

Last, I know of situations where parents of SN kids who were in crisis, or even just sick, refused to answer the phone at all much less come in when we called them.  Not common, but it happens.[/quote]
