Topic : Violence in School

He was then interrogated by the school social worker and the administrator for hours.  When he told them he did not do anything, they kept grilling him.  I was called after the grilling.  He is 8 years old.  He was crying, told them he was scared, and begged them to stop.  He also has ADHD/Bipolar with anxiety and they are aware of this.  I was not called to be informed of this until after the interrogation.  My son is traumatized.  Some of the stuff they told me he said was really technical and hard to find on the internet.  This wasn't 8 year old material.  He has not been the same since that day.  I know I need to do something, because obviously he is not safe at school.  I don't know where on earth to start, I just needed to to talk to someone about this.  Now he has heard all of this sexually explicit material, and is just embarrassed to death.  He is a brilliant boy, but he hates school. I would hate school too.

Any input or help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Cori

I am 15 years old so I am very familiar with violence in schools. I go to school and I am a freshman in high school. There is plenty of violence going on. Just last week before Christmas break, we had an issue with threats and we also had a bomb threat. We had to be searched before we were even alowed in school. I have been threatened in at school before. I have spoken to my counselor about these issues and they have been handled, however, there is only so much the schools can do for us kids. Now that this kid knows I told on him for threatening me, I felt much safer before I told somebody. School should be a safe place to be, but I don't feel all that safe at school.

I know it's a real threat out there, but the chance is so slim that it shouldn't be nearly as focused on. In this world, there are always people who don't follow the rules and do horrible things, but what people should realize is that for every bad person out there, there are at least ten others who do that don't get nearly as much attention.

Im wondering how people in america think.

Scenarios:
1. A boy/girl in my sons/daughters class got in to a fight, so i wont let my children play with him/her. you think "he/she is probably the kind that will grow up to be a school shooter"

Well probably if you parents purposly alienate him and make him unable to learn how to socialize. (sorry about the spelling).  And i go so far as to say that you parents of the children who isnt allowed to play with that kid is highly responible for that kids future! For bad or for worse!!! And from what ive seen on TV (bad source i know) this is an accuring scenario taking place everyday throughout the US. I recomend the movie "Bang bang your dead" for every parent that ever baned their child from playing with another child because he/she is a trouble maker!

2. There was a robbery next door and you decide to get a gun to feel safe

Only in America... 

Only in America are people so scared of everyday life that they cant think logicly.
Only in America is a gun security while every SANE country bans guns or at least get some kind of reasonable restriction.

Quote from the movie *Shoot em up*: "Guns dont kill, but they sure do help"

I want to continue but its getting late. would love some response, criticism or whatever! Give me your view of these matters.

Please give comments aswell. i want to know your opinion! Am i a confused person from Sweden that doesnt know what his talking about, then tell me wrong! If not, well give me some feedback at least!

Thanks in advance
