The way I look at it, if an adult is attacked, they have every right to use the legal system and file charges. The parents should face the reality that their child is a high risk child who has high liability. Everyone assumes it’s just the schools liability. But the fact is, when parents send kids like these to a public school, they should also assume some of the liability.
I have received numerous posts that seem to say that if a teacher is unable to control a child that has been improperly mainstreamed then the problem should be dropped on law enforcement. The criminal justice system is just that. It is a system used to determine if a person has committed acts or omissions proscribed by criminal code. In the event, the court or a jury finds that the acts are unlawful, then a punishment is prescribed. This is not the way to get help for a child. There are numerous other remedies including seeking civil injunctions, social service evaluations that may result in adjudication of the child as insane or incompetent or suffering from some other condition which renders the child unfit to be part of society. The problem is either the PC position that there are no defective people or the schools failure to provide contained special ed classrooms if they are so mandated.
