We are now in a pure litigation society, where people are now asking the courts to decide thier life choices, and petty disputes. Since when did our public school system become a proxy court house? Where is the true crime in an 11 year old? I would wonder about a 22 year old in college, but not an 11 year old. I actually think it was quite humorous, as wrong as it is, that kid has balls.

Let me add this...

My son was caught skateboarding on school grounds, yes it is prohibited and there are signs everywhere stating that. It was wrong what he was doing. That isn't going to be my point. Here goes,

When he was caught, it was the school security guard, after school hours (5-pm). The security guard then reported my son to the principle who was going to suspend him for a week. I told him to go ahead, and that I would sue. My reason, I began to tell him was this. "Dr. Fisher, my son attends this school from 730am to 3-pm, when he is here during that time frame, you have the right to dicipline my son for infractions. After school hours, he is mine. YOu are our of your jurisdiction". He began to reason because it was school property he had the right. again, I reiterated "Dr. Fisher, this school belongs to the City of Portsmouth, not you. The police are required to handle cases of after school trespassing. The dicipline isn't yours to give. Call the police next time". I never heard from the incident again, and niether has my son.
