Check with school, 7 year olds say and do a lot of stuff that turns out to be nothing, but a little discreet checking is warranted

Doesn't a crayola gun get you a reeducation these days? Rat out the kid and send him to camp.

Red flag the kids parents?
You need to go talk to the school. Today. |

Quoted: They're 7 View Quote Quoted: They are 7. Do nothing. View Quote Old enough to draw a gun and a body in a pool of blood, and threaten to come to another kids house at night and murder them? Old enough to get in some level of trouble for doing so. |

Don't take it lightly! Talk to the school and the police. Something might be going on in his home and he could even have access to a gun.

I predict that even numerous complaints to the school will yield zero meaningful results. Do it anyway and document, see if other parents are having similar issues.
Protective order in juvenile court to force them to move the kid is the next step. And it will work, but it’s a pain in the ass. |

This thread is hilarious. “Call the police”, “get a lawyer”, “get documentation”.
If it bothers you email the teacher. Expect nothing to come of it. |

Quoted: What do?? View Quote Pick up a folding chair and hit yourself in the head with it until you understand that it's unloving and reckless and foolish to send your kid to the government schools. After that, the next step will come to you. |

I’d contact the school so it’s documented. If something were to happen you don’t want to be accused of knowing about it and not reporting it. Today’s societies and all.

Quoted: Isn't it the other way around? If they do nothing about the threats, and then the kid does something, then they're on the hook. View Quote Lol. They have free lawyers and pretty good immunity. It’s a game of chicken with school admins. They’re afraid of getting dragged into court either way. If they send the bad kid off, they’ll get sued by the entitled mom under the federal alphabet soup of education laws. Double if the kid has some snowflake diagnosis. Quadruple if he’s a racial/ethnic minority. If you take out a PO against the kid and subpoena them all to come explain why they have done nothing despite 87 complaints, they’ll chicken out and agree to move the kid to some other school where he’ll become some other classroom’s problem. This isn’t speculation on my part. |

Quoted: Love that common-core math! If I had read that while taking a sip of my tea I would have spit it all over the monitor... (I'm definitely gonna steal that and use it somewhere...) View Quote Works on your retirement savings too.. you have $4M in your 401k =$4,000,000 which is 4 and a lot of zeros, so you really have $4. |

Quoted: This happened to my daughter, last year (4th grade). The boy was/is very troubled. He had his own aide and the school "assured" us they'd handle it. Instead of going crazy, we made it clear to our daughter to stay away from him. Stay away meaning to never be w/in 10ft and not to converse. A lawyer friend of mine drew something up and sent it to the school, just so we had a legal timeline. Kid soon started bothering other kids. The Covid shutdown took the kids out of school so it ended. My wife and I met w/ the superintendent and principal, at the end of the year, to make it perfectly clear that that kid would never be in another of my daughter's classes. We'll see. View Quote Quoted: What do you know about his parents? If they are trash, best to take it right to administration. If they aren't call them and tell them what's up. View Quote Consequently she's not even going to elementary school we're districted for, or however you'd say it. So while I know numerous kids parents from our neighborhood, I don't know many who live farther away and attend this other school. |

You guys talking about going to the teacher or principal are living in the 1950s. They won’t do shit and won’t even discuss the other kid with you, because they’re not allowed to. Nothing will be done.

Quoted: I guess you haven't been reading GD the past few years. Homeschooling is for weirdos only My other option is a religious school which I'm not a huge fan of, but that may still actually be the ticket. View Quote I'll die on this hill: Homeschooling is the prime method of education that worked perfectly well for the vast majority of human history. Government education is the grand experiment, and it is a spectacular failure, in some part, at least, because the program must take every child sent their way. At home you only have to take your own kids. The private school can pick and choose its pupils/customers. The government school has to take 'Jeremy'. |

I graduated with both teachers my kids have, can always get ahold of them with questions or concerns, most people in the community are good people and as a result send decent kids to school. The speed at which my kids learn with actual teachers teaching them vs me trying to do it is ridiculous. I'm a contractor, not an educator. |

Homeschool the way some people do it is certainly not the norm. Look at a lot of primitive people around the world still. The kids all get kind of wrangled up and distracted with the grandparents watching them until they are old enough to learn how to work, then they start to go out and learn those skills with either parent, along with all the other kids and their parents doing the same work. Now homeschool groups, that's another story, that seems to be more on the mark. |

Quoted: My simple thought process is as follows: this school year is fucked up enough without the poor kids having to be subjected to threats of graphic and very specific murder by their classmates, regardless of age. Old enough to draw a gun and a body in a pool of blood, and threaten to come to another kids house at night and murder them? Old enough to get in some level of trouble for doing so. View Quote Depends on your state but, most states in the US do not allow a child under the age of 10 to be charged with a crime. |

Quoted: You guys talking about going to the teacher or principal are living in the 1950s. They won’t do shit and won’t even discuss the other kid with you, because they’re not allowed to. Nothing will be done. View Quote Yep. Went through this with a shit-bird that was putting his hands on my daughter on the bus. After one incident she pushed him and the bus driver came down on her. We at least got them to review the footage and agree that he assaulted her but of course zero-tolerance for both. I made sure her time at home was fun. They would not tell us anything other than "appropriate steps will be taken". You'll not get anything else out of them if they have good lawyers. In the end we went and talked to the kid and his Dad. Told him that kids are kids but from now on his kid needs to keep his hands off of her and that if he didn't we'd be getting the legal system involved to make it more formal. All that needed to happen to avoid all that was for him to leave her alone. I seemed to work. He didn't sit behind her anymore. Honestly, I figure we had a 30/70 shot on that as the kids are usually shit-heads for a reason. |

I would probably talk to the school and send emails to create a record. Making a papertrail tends to make people do stuff to CYA. |
