[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How the hell did the kid get his hands on a taser?  And the parents are fighting suspension?  We are zoned for the other NArl middle school, but my child's elementary has kids going to both.  This is really disturbing.[/quote]

Tasers are legal in Virginia.

All I can say right now is speak out.  Contact APS school board, the SSRM team, the police.  This kid has all the warning signs.  I am sad for the parents but my first priority in terms of caring is for the safety of the other 900 students at the school.[/quote]

These things aren’t mutually exclusive.  The best thing for this kid would be getting him into a better placement BEFORE the police have to be involved bc he’s acted on some of his threats.  His life could be ruined if it comes to that.

And of course none of this is fair to the other kids.  How can anyone learn if they don’t feel safe?[/quote]

NP.  The ship to getting him into a better placement before police involvement is needed is way past.  Taser = need for police involvement.  
I am concerned for this child; but, sorry, I am way more concerned for the safety of everyone else than I am about whether his life could be ruined if the police are called!  And you know what?  SOmetims calling the police HELPS.  Police do not equal life ruined for all eternity.  Good grief!

Not "fair" to the other kids?!?!  How can they [i]learn[/i] if they don't [i]feel[/i] safe???  You'r concerned about them being able to learn while this death threat of a classmate is on the loose?  People should be concerned about the actual safety of these children - not about their loss of learning or whether they FEEL safe!

It's this inappropriately calm and dismissive attitude that allows the problem to perpetuate in the first place.  Ask Loudoun County parents how they "feel" about the sexual offender student being given a different placement.[/quote]
