This is absolutely TRUE, particularly for private schools. Anytime your kid is assaulted on school grounds, CALL POLICE!


From now on, I will.

In both our former schools the policy was to deny bullying. The instigators were parents who donated $$ to keep the adm quiet. Does it sound like corruption?

Wow, just wow.


How long was he suspended for? That's insane. They are supposed to consider whether the behaviors were related to his disability.


Also, how many times has something like this happened? Was the teacher injured?

#&%^(@(&^%^ criminal jerks!
Our current culture is more and more encouraging bullies and a cheering audience! Just watched a video that put together all of our dear leader "moments" of swears, threats, etc. How can we educate our kids when you have a bully in chief? It breaks my heart!


Oh, please. This is not about Trump.

The parents will NOT go to jail or pay a big fine. The victim parents, however, can sue them in civil court for damages and take their house.


You may wish that to be the case, but it’s most assuredly not going to happen in Virginia.

And any more about the rumors that some of the kids involved were moved to other area high schools (not to "alternative" high schools)? That got mentioned then dropped entirely earlier in the thread. If someone has first-hand knowledge this has happened, please post.

One would hope.


Are there any updates about increased safety measures? My 8th grade daughter heard about this incident and is now even more freaked out about high school.

This makes me think that FCPS really needs to get a grip on violent behavior on school grounds. If we don’t as a county reign in this BS behavior, these kinds of acts will become more common place.

Not comparing FCPS to NYC schools, but it is a slippery slope.

That's terrible. I'm so sorry he's been treated this way.
