***Crossed the Line********

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

You may all know and recall my previous posts regarding my son and his

noncompliant behavior recently in school. I did get great responses to my post

and I thank you all again. I should have listened to you a little more closer.

I would like to share a note I got home from my sons teacher today:

The teacher writes to me exactly this:

Today, we had a new behavior, after he went to the bathroom, he would not come

out to wash his hands and have snack. He kept hiding in the bathroom. Opening

and closing the door. I let him do this for a while to see what would happen

but it continued. Then I told him I would eat his snack and did (1 cookie) but

that didn't seem to make a difference. The bathhroom game had to stop, so I put

his chair in the bathroom. We (meaning the teacher and aid) sat him in his

chair, I shut off the lights and closed the door. (He was in there for less

than one minute) I wanted to see if this would make a difference. He didn't

like it but when we took him out he dropped to the floor, so we did it again.

On the second try, when I took him out he came with me to get his snack and eat.

That is now (10:50) when I am writing I am not sure what dismissal will bring.

***Yes that is exactly what she wrote.

I put a call into the superintendants office-filing a complaint. And will be

calling Division of Youth and Family Services this weekend to put an

investigation team into the classroom.

The bus driver has also, reported verbal abuse on several occasions over the

past month-the aid " going off on " as she said. She just started

carrying a recorder on the bus.

A parent also, informed me today that she has also, seen my son being

inappropriately treated and would be happy to say something-also she has some

video. She said she is sorry she didn't come to me sooner.

I am in Northern New Jersey:

I have called SPAN and NJ PRotection and Advocacy-but they say it takes a about

a week to get an advocate to call me.

I don't have a lot of money-I am thinking of an Educational Lawyer???

If anyone can give me a name to call-------------or somewhere to help

me-------------------

I am very organized and have everything documented and in writing-so I do have

" my stuff together "

My son is APraxic and can't tell me what's happening. Now I know why since Jan.

2nd he hasn't wanted to go to school

And I trusted these people---------------I am _________________ can't even

find the word that I feel.

Thank you,

Colette
