DATE OF INCIDENT: 11/20/09

INCIDENT:

I have had two occurrences in 2009 with my ten year old son and twelve year old son. My ten year old has ADHD and ODD during a critical medication change prescribed by his Dr. he was subject to four hours of harassment by the behavioral specialist and later forced to sign a citation from the police department for threatening the aid.

My other son, twelve, is an A & B brilliant student that just wants to do his work and then read on his own. He is harassed at school and, in self-defense, threatened another student that was taunting him about his mother. Today he was booked at the police department for "terrorist threats" and will have to appear in court. I have tried to file formal complaints with the school board but they will do nothing. They hide behind the zero tolerance law. I am unable to file charges against the students that harassed my children. I am going to pull them and home school them. The school system has lost it directive and I wish to complain.


MISD RESPONSE:

One school told my son that if they if they had to call the cops, his mother and father would have to miss work and not be able to feed him.
