Mom arrested for bringing son medicine at school

[Valigator]

I have already gone round and round with the high school with my son.....when he was in 10 th grade...I got a call from the school and the resource officer, which also happened to be a Ft. Lauderdale police officer.......requesting our presence at the school immediately.......well we rush down there and are takin into a room with all the school brass and a couple of police officers....I am thinkin this is bad.....The dean in a very somber voice said..."your son is going to be charged with a hate crime" and my guy and I looked at each other...the police officer said my son was involved in an altercation with another student and picked the other student up and deposited him head first in a trash can....My guy stood up and looked at my son who was sitting in the corner....and asked for his explanation...My son stated the kid had been bothering him for over two weeks...and the kid put his hands on him so he dumped him in the can...my guy asked where a hate crime comes in? Well seems the kid was "gay". I remember lookin at one of the police officers and he could barely keep a straight face...I wont go into the rampage my guy exhibited in that office ....and I had a point when I started this story...but it seems common sense has gone out the window in more than a few areas when it comes to our kids....they wanted to put this kind of record on my kid....when you have parents and kids in the original post who are obviously in crisis...needless to say...by the time we left the school that day...the matter was extinguished....whats the old saying? You gonna be stupid, you better be tough....and the kid who went into the garbage can was stupid.....
