[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. The child is a menace and should NEVER have been put back in a mainstream classroom. It's beyond ridiculous that that's what we do now.

Also, school is 1000% responsible and should pay. The asst principal that would not allow a search of the backpack should be made to pay monetary damages and NEVER work in education again.

Not much to be done about the parents other than they should be charged with allowing a violent kid to gain access to a firearm. Complete and utter losers.

This story makes me incensed on so many levels[/quote]

Well said.

The school should have recommended alternate placement long ago.  If the parents refused (which sounds likely) the school should have insisted and forced parents ot take them to court.  (I'm not sure how it works, but it seems there was plenty of evidence to insist upon alternate placement.

I find it very intersting that the parents have not yet been charged.  Makes me wonder if they are contemplating charges beyond the weapon.

It is also interesting that no information about family has been leaked.  [/quote]

NP - my understanding is the child had had alternative placement but was moved BACK to Richneck. From an article another PP posted:

During kindergarten at Richneck the year before, the lawsuit says, the boy “strangled and choked a teacher,” and inappropriately touched a female student who had fallen in a playground. The boy was soon moved from Richneck to the Denbigh Early Childhood Center.

He came back to Richneck in September 2022 to start first grade. But he was soon put on a modified schedule after cursing at staffers and “chasing students around the playground with a belt in an effort to whip them with it.”

Under the new plan, one of the boy’s parents “was required to accompany him at school” every day.[/quote]
