[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't see the video, but. . . Thank God the police found the child and he wasn't abducted by a pedofile.  And the mother complained to all parties that she "can't beat him?"  Sounds like she and her son need therapy, and she should consider a new school where her child can be safe.  [/quote]

You truly need to watch the video before making assumptions.    I don't mean that to be snarky.   It just can't be understood without watching it.[/quote]

Agreed. There's a lot going on here, and the school officials absolutely need to be held accountable for their lack of intervention with the cops, but the child was never in danger of being abducted by a pedophile. He had a meltdown so severe that his classmates needed to take cover, and then eloped with a staff member following behind while on the phone with the authorities.

So, the school authorities actually did what they were supposed to do up to a certain point. They had a child with a clear emotional dysregulation issue and were working on an alternative placement, despite the lack of parental cooperation. They called the police when the behavior got to a point that it endangered staff and kids, and then followed procedures by not physically stopping the child from eloping. All of that is in keeping with policy. If you don't want school officials calling the cops in situations like this, you need to change the policy and/or make it easier for a child with that kind of special need to be fast-tracked into an appropriate placement.

MCPS has rules about staff chasing kids as well has putting hands on kids.  But, what I don't get is they said they cannot put hands on but the child walked into the school with the staff holding her hand so why not ask him to stop, offer her hand and see if he'd go back.  MCPS needs to change the policy for very young kids.[/quote]
