| Not sure DW...I'm a bit worried that he says he doesn't know why he made the bomb threat..I just wish he could give us a reason...but maybe things will smooth out, maybe inside it's hit home, I really don't know. To me he hasn't shown much remorse but his dad says he says he wishes he never did it. ... |

| My stepson didn't speak until 4 and a half. He's math disabled which basically means math is horribly hard for him. He is very verbal. He can remember details really well. He usually doesn't remember what he needs to remember but if something catches his interest he'll remember every little detail. ... |

| Well it's over, for now! Stepson had his day in court. He's on probation for 1 year with 100 hours of community service. I just really really really hope things cool down with him now! He's in yet another new school and he only has 3 years left of high school so he needs to just keep his head down a... |

Well just found out the public school system won't even take him. They said they have zero tolerance for bomb threats and said he would need to go to school at juvenile hall
so a private school is the only option at this point |

regarding the above post - you said "when they realized he would not outgrow his problems..."
That really hit home because both his mom and dad have been assuming he would outgrow his problems, start to fit it because he would just learn how to... |

| Well he has zero experience with public school. He's never been. It may be worse as he'll be entering mid-year, he has problems socializing and he's very overweight. But better high school than middle school. I think by high school kids are not so mean. |

| I was also surprised but it's a 30k per year private school. I think private schools can do what they want. If other parents found out, and there were police at his school and then he was taken out and suspended, so it may have leaked out. Well, they probably think, well I'm paying over 100k for my ... |

| I used to be a teacher in Texas. Each school district in Texas has an Alternative Education Placement Center where a child can be removed to by law if they do certain actions. I taught at the alternative school in two separate school districts. The common action was for the student to be removed fr... |

| The one thing I have been wondering is...they sent out a letter telling the parents there had been a bomb threat emailed to the school. Then a couple weeks pass and my stepson is suspended. There were also police at the school as he was arrested but not held, just released to his parents. I don't kn... |

| I don't know if he is bullied by the teachers or not. They will have a say on whether or not he returns to school. I think what the principal said is that it is also up to the other teachers. The decision on whether or not he returns. As I have never known anyone to do this - email a bomb threat - I... |

| That sounds like a really difficult boat to be in. I am not sure if you are looking for advice here on what do do with him or just support of some kind? As for my son, (age 11), he recently threatened a neighborhood boy with a pocket knife. Needless to say, the boy was being a bully and my son was ... |
