It would fall under verbal assault.  This isn't illegal (criminal), but it's civilly actionable.  I would suggest that if school isn't doing something about it, go to the local press.  Make a big stink.  Schools are really touchy about this kind of thing right now and would do anything to avoid a big public display of their failure to take proper care of children.

I would try the school. They should have given you a parental rights book when he was enrolled in the program. I lived there in Oklahoma previously, my brother went to Putnam City High school. They had a good program also, but I know you live in Norman. But check with the school and find out what programs they offer for special education. They should tailor the program to fit his needs.

I have been having seizures for 19 years now they started out with being hard to learning on my own yes I have doctors but have they had seizures far and between.\n\nSo I had to find away to control them during all this I fought them from taking part of my memory.\nSo I started doing different things like focusing on one thing instead of five.\n\nSee seizures are cause from to much on the mind at one time doctors told me it was because I had bumped my head see it a guessing game to them it takes someone to learn how to work the mind.\n\nI will explain make sure you son takes his medicine first of all always Okay when he feels abnormal tell him to not try to talk just get someone attention by throwing something down to make noise are waving the best way he can than!!!\n\nFocus on something if that one thing don't work than get him to focus on something else fast theres no time to waste, pencil. book, picture what ever the mine thing is to get only one thing on his mind not 4 or 5 Okay!!\n\nI have learn myself from going into 4 or 5 a week to 1 or 2 ever 3 or 4 years mind over matter, mind over matter remember that.\n\nThe person he gets attention from someone let him know before hand of this also but talk lightly to him in a seizure talk about the moon are something get him focus if you notice I keep going back to being focus [ because this is the key the only key  ].\n\nTo bring himself out of the begainning of the seizures once he works a few out tell him to keep working on it, one more thing if he can try to never go to the ground hold on to someone the wall what ever try to NEVER hit the ground. \nSo there two things for him to do FOCUS on one thing to distract him off the seizures & fight back stand up he can when this all will not stop at one time but it will help 95% of the time once he learn to controll.\n\nOne more thing [ I won't to tell you theres bad pain having seizures always pray and when he wakes up just keep him cool with a wet rag he will come back its a slow proceess ] Good Luck.\n\n==EDIT==\n\nI go to sleep right after a seizure its good because when I come out of one I'm  weak , bad headaches, and cannot walk good the rest after one for me is sleeping and resting.\nA seizures is very painful and it's hard to focus without rest also.\nFor sure a person should sleep that will be ok the seizures has pass but if they are consist'nt I would sleep on my side, so I would not choke.\n\nWith the "sson" in your question I thought somebody was talking about there son so what I want to do is leave my other answer above because it very helpful for people who have seizures to also learn to controll them I know this first hand I live with this daily.

He is your brother, everything else doesn't matter. Where is he being picked? Can you report that behavior to some one on authority? Bee careful, people who act that way are generally cowards and capable of doing anything. Specially if they are in a group. Good luck.

I would seek help from your administration. Perhaps a meeting with your administrator is needed. Usually, students follow their parents lead. \n\nMost importantly, don't take it personally. One bad apple shouldn't make you get down on yourself. You are so valuable to our children's future so please don't let it get you down.

As safe as snitchin sounds that unfortunately never works. Your parents or the principal cant protect u when ur in the hallways or walkin outside from school. Do sumthin crazy like a bitch slap in the cafteria or pour a carton of milk on them. It may get u beat up one more time but ull earn ur respect and from them and others for standin up for urself.

You need to pose your question to a lawyer in your local area. Your son may have a remedy through the courts, but there may be time restrictions that could bar recovery.

None, teh facility is privately funded allowing them to have your child removed from their faciility at their discretion.  Schoolds have stricter regualtions.  Talk to his provider about allowing him to do something quiet while the others nap or simply to lay down and be quiet.  Afterall you are paying them to deal with him for the day nto simply when he is behacing...it snto like hes biting chidlren.  he just doesnt wanna sleep.  Find a new care provider if necessary!  Most of them deal with kids who wont nap instead of calling mom to pick them up.  (They should credit you for the days you had to get your child too.)

It's preferable to the school district because it's confidential and they can tell you to fuck off and because it's confidential no one will know and it won't become part of the record.  \n\nIt's unfortunate, but go to "Protection and Advocacy" site and request the book they have entitled "Special Education Rights and Responsibilities".  You will be well armed and more able to protect your child.

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

If he has problems in school because of his behavior.....I believe a school councilor can talk to child w/out permission because my son is ADHD and school councilor talked to him w/out permission....as far as your ex goes......He is BLIND if he doesn't see a problem....unless your ex acts like him...I would ask family DR what to do...or get a good lawyer...that's scary of him drawing those terrible pictures...look at all the school killings...Show the picture to the school....they should be able to do something about it...like, again, a school councilor  GOOD LUCK!!

I don't know the whole situation and you only say your little son.  Not to alarm you but you should have immediately consider a visit to the pediatrician.  They should be able to find out why the child is weak.  There are many reasons for that.

Tell your parents.  Something more serious then detention needs to happen with this kid.  Obviously, all the parents are going to have to demand it.  Maybe they need to go to the school board.\n\nIf you are attacked, defend yourself.  You do not have a choice.

Has his school suggested there is any reason to be concerned?  If his school has not suggested there is anything wrong, maybe there is nothing to worry about.\n\nHOwever, I'm not trying to alarm you, but your grandson may need to see a doctor.  You are not clear about what you are describing, but your grandson may have a disorder that needs to be addressed.  I don't want to suggest any sort of diagnosis here, but if I were you I'd see a pediatrician.\n\n\nI wish you well in getting this sorted out.

I do not know if this is relevant to you, since you said it was a project...but, my friend along time ago in college had it. I had to sit with her during our off periods in the rec room because if she had a seizure she would eat her cigarettes. I know that sounds weird, but  when she had a seizure she would just start sticking things in her mouth. Also I do know they can swallow thier tongue, not sure why or how, but that is one thing her mom told me.

i am in the same situation...i have a daughter that has adhd with mood disorder and she is on the highest medication you can give someone...(adult doses) she is on so many meds for morning,noon and night...it sucks...but she is truely out of control if she isnt on them...and yes we are extremly disciplinary so its not a parental problem....if she wasnt on the meds she wouldnt be able to go to school...the teachers cant handle her if shes off of them...if we took her off we would have to put her in a special school and that would probably be worse on her...embarressing and everything that goes with that!   i hate the fact that we have her on so many meds it could kill a horse but i dont know what else to do.i sometimes let her go without it...when shes out of school like now,but sometimes its just to much...i am not very patient with her sometimes and i hate myself for that!  but anyways i have never heard of anything outside of meds that can help with this...but i do commend you for not letting them push meds down his throat...but depending on his age and the severity of it the school may force you to or put him in a special school...

This should be documented and he can be moved to a sheltered classroom. Different states and Districts have different regulations. Start complaining and writing letters that is not a good learning environment for anyone.\n\nI am really surprised this has gone that far!
