[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds to me like allowing your son to do the rest of his work from home is a reasonable solution. I hope this works out for your son, OP. I think you are correct in being extremely cautious in this situation. Best wishes to you and your family.[/quote]

He could probably do the work from home for a week or two. These incidents tend to blow over; problematic teenagers lack focus and direct their energies elsewhere.

I think this is a good compromise, plus his teachers completely understand.

OP: why do these boys think your son stole the phone? Or are they simply trying to shake him down for money?[/quote]

OP here, DH spoke with DS at length, it seems this isn't the first time DS has had this issue with one of the boys from the incident. DS has tried to advocate for himself by speaking with a school resource officer previously. DH and I have always taught DS to advocate for himself first and if that doesn't work to come and seek help from us. [/quote]

OP, I'm so sorry. I'm the poster who suggested these allegations of phone theft might be a pretext to harass and threaten your son. Unfortunately it sounds like this is the case. You're doing the right thing by advocating for your son. Being in physical danger isn't the same thing as telling the waiter you ordered the pasta when he brought you the chicken.
