yes it is a bad idea but what would be the solution ? have you tried getting involve in the school and to offer reasonable solutions ? if nothing works and you are concerned enough then wait to take your child to school just in-time for class or have someone else do it for you. you could also try another school. lol.

Call the police Seriously, don't take it lightly, my best friend was murdered by her stalker and her mother was shot in the face. He was try in to kill her too. So I don't think there is anything funny about that type of thing. She thought she could handle the situation, but she couldn't. GET SOME HELP!!!

My daughter had a similar experience.  (We live in Indiana).  You must act now to protect your daughter.  \n\n1.  Hire an attorney.  The attorney can explain YOUR and your daughter's rights.  Any information you receive from the school will be slanted to their best advantage.\n2.  Demand that your daughter not be in any classes or situations where the boy is --- including lunch, homeroom, gym, and especially  where he could be alone with her.\n3. Talk to your daughter and ask her what she wants.  It is important that you give her a voice in what occurs.  Don't shelter her, that will only make her feel more vulnerable.  Have her go with you and Dad when you go to the attorney.  What you need to do now is to empower her.  Not to be mean, but I sense that your daughter is a great student but perhaps 'shy' or non-assertive which allowed this boy to assault your daughter. Your job now is to give her the skills to protect herself now and in the future.  You need to TELL her that you are doing everything to protect her and put your words into action.  \n4.  I'm unsure where you live.  Indiana has enacted anti-bullying legislation, perhaps your state has too.  \n6.  If your daughter has been traumatized so much that she is having trouble focusing in school...doesn't feel safe...etc., talk to her school counselor, perhaps your daughter could have an extended excused absence until the boy is sentenced and removed from school...\n5. But to answer your question, your school must actively protect your daughter from this boy.  \n\nGOOD LUCK.

First, be absolutely 100 percent certain that your daughter is telling you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  If you are that certain, then it isn't right for her to be punished under the circumstances you described.  I would have a meeting with the principal (being very courteous and respectful).  If that is not successful, have a meeting with the school superintendent.  If that is not successful, go to the school board meeting.  You can also contact an attorney, if you believe the case warrants it.

because of poor parenting.  back in the 80's, we took guns to school.  it was no big deal.  we would go hunting or target shooting around 2:55 pm.

I am sorry for you loss.\n\nCall the county firefighter station, this is what I did from there you also need to contact the police department. Those two places should be able to give you all the information available.

I can tell you what I've read in the past.  Always, ALWAYS pay attention to your surroundings.  Never be caught off guard.  Be ready for just in case.  You are less likely to be approached if you show that you are alert.  I hope that you have some sort of self defense training.  If not, check with your local Recreation Center.  They usually offer something reasonably priced.  Even if you only attend for a month, that is one month more you have under your belt than what you had.  I was strangled, smothered and stabbed when I was 10, so I made a point to make sure my daughters had self defense, even if they hated it.  I hope this has helped.

The next time you hear a ruckus going on next door, call the police immediately. Even better check to see if there is a help line for kids to call in your area and use it to report the abuse NOW! Call your Social Services Office or Children's Aid Society and report it to them. They have to check out all reports of abuse. If you are not sure who to call, phone a school or hospital in your area and ask them for a number to use. You can remain anonymous and the woman next door will never know who reported her if you are worried about retaliation on her part. Do this. You'll be glad you did. These children need help.

Oh dear alex. :(  Your obssession is a little worrying. Without wanting another death threat.. what do you intend to do with said shotgun (s) if you get hold of one? When i was 16 i was obssessed with girls and music and my mates. You really need to get out a bit more. Make some friends or join the army :)
