Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: My son was found with a vape pen at school it was not his. His frind asked him to hold it for him so he did. My son was caught with it in his bag and apparently it had THC. They tested it in private no one saw the test done. My son has learning abilities. My son filled out a statement naming his frined. The school wants to kick him out and put him in some extreme program for long period of time. They gave me less than 24 hors notice to refute them at a hearing that is today. I don't know what to do. My son has never done, handled or been around drugs.
JA: I just need to ask a few clarifying questions so that the Lawyer doesn't miss anything. To start, what state are you in? It matters because laws vary by location.
Customer: Texas
JA: Does your son have any court dates or documents relevant to this situation?
Customer: No court dates, only document is a letter telling me if I have legal rep to bring to hearing
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: no

Clarifying Questions:

What to do here?

Customer
My son was caught holding a vape pen at school for a friend. He didn't smoke it or anything just had possession of it. The school wants to send him to an alternative school for x amount days. He has a learning disability in which I do not agree with him being removed from his learning environment
Customer
The school conducted the investigation and interrogated my son without my knowledge

I would consider an education lawyer here. This appears to be punishment in excess of the crime. You should argue or have lawyer do so for in school or weekend suspension so he can continue at school. You may need to take this to superintendent or the school board itself. You don't have to accept this punishment. I would stay after this.


Lawyer Referral:

You want an education lawyer here to appeal this up the chain to superintendent.


Clarifying question: Does this give you the information you asked for, thanks and so sorry you are dealing with all of this.

Customer
