my oldest son ended up getting in trouble at school.I guess there was a kid that pulled another kids pants down in the lunch line and then that kid pulled my kids pants down. My son turned around and thought the kid behind him did it. He waited until they were walking into class then de-panted that kid. That kid ended up not having underwear on so they looked at it pretty harshly on my son.They tried to give my son 15 days of ISS and they said they ultimately decided not to put him in some reform program at a different district school that is basically for troubled kids because they looked at it as a sexual act because of the nudity (even though it was accidental). My wife and I said they were going completely overboard and threatened to contact a lawyer. They said they would write it up as horseplay and dropped the suspension down to 10 days with a chance to make it only 8 days with good behavior. Come to find out the two kids that started this only received 3 days of ISS.
My son has never been in trouble before. He also has an IEP and is missing valuable time due to this.
JA: Where is this occurring? I only ask because laws can vary by state.
