[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody is saying the real perpetrator shouldn't be punished. He absolutely should be and should be expelled for the rest of the year. No arguments from me.

But what I'm asking is how you would have handled the threat differently?

On Saturday, May 28 there was a message posted on a kid's social media account that he was going to bring a gun and bomb to school on Tuesday. It seems like police/the principal found out about it on Sunday, May 29 and notified the school community.

I am assuming the student whose social media had the threat was not allowed to come to school on Tuesday, May 31st.

Police did an investigation.

On Thursday, June 2 the investigation concluded that the kid was actually a victim and someone else posted the threatening message on his social media account.

Tell me this, wise parents of DCUM - if you were the principal and such an incident occurred under your watch, knowing the police are investigating and investigations aren't complete in short amounts of time - would you really let the student on whose social media account had the threat be allowed to attend school that Tuesday?

Yes  the real jerk needs to be punished. We all agree but in a situation like that...you would let the first student back to school on Tuesday? What if he really did post that message and did cause violence? How could you know for certain?[/quote]

When such an event occurred at Tpms, the highly -regarded principal interviewed the accused for three hours alone in a room until the child was hysterical. And then called the parents to ask why their child was hysterical.

The child was found innocent. Was innocent. Oh, I believe she did hold a "very special assembly" that was supposed to address the issue.

The bullying continued for the rest of the year. [/quote]
