Parents with kids in public schools are hopeful that these kinds of kids and their parents will be dealt with, and not kowtowed to - can only hope.

A decision like this usually takes more time, if there are elements of doubt.

Even just based on what we do know, these parents behaved egregiously. This is the most favorable fact pattern for a prosecutor in these circumstances that I've ever seen.

I CANNOT believe that counselor didn’t take one look at that drawing and the internet search and go immediately to the principal/police. JFC - the kids practically sky wrote what he was about to do.

Ah yes, a psychology degree is the magical factor that was missing here after at least a dozen people were aware of this kid's problems and failed to stop him.

Exactly. More six-figure freeloaders with degree mill credentials were needed at the district and the county level. Not enough worthless bureaucracy and layers of fiefdoms in Michigan's wealthiest county.

Social workers are much more effective in these types of situations. Despite "only" having a Masters degree.

Social worker lol. The school resource officer should have immediately been involved. And if parents refused to bring him home, SRO could have right there taken him into custody for questioning.

That factoid hurts the school district in the civil suit far more than the parents in the bogus criminal case.

Nobody said that it was illegal. It is extremely inappropriate and the fact that the parents just laughed about it speaks volumes.

Right. The argument is not whether the child broke the law. It is whether the parents showed a reckless disregard for safety. That text says yes.

I have nothing against psychologists or MSWs but it doesn't take any kind of degree to see all the red flags this kid was throwing up.

You REALLY think the kid was sent to the office, two meetings on Monday and Tuesday, an emergency summoning of the parents, and a dubious order to get the kid into therapy within 48 hours happened with zero knowledge of or involvement of principal and/or two assistant principals? Because I have a bridge to sell you. The district is in total cover your *** mode as class action sharks circle. The "independent investigation" is just to buy the superintendent enough time to retire in January 2022 with a full pension and whatever life insurance, annuity, cash for hoarded sick/vacay days, and retirement parachute he has orchestrated.
