Legally, Does My Child Have Rights?

Yeah, that will be talked about in the meeting as well. However, I was assured by the principal that nothing would be on his permanent record. I guess I didnt make it clear, the coach witnessed it. He said that my son was in the right, but fighting was not tolerated. It happened right after school, as the bus was getting ready to leave for a ball game. I wondered why my son didnt play that night and coach came and talked to me about it right after the game. So he already served that penalty even before the principal was notified. And, they are working with him pretty easy on the detention as well. Girls practice right after school and the boys practice is from 415 to 630. He stays after school and does his homework anyway before practice, so it wont be anything out of the normal except he will have to go to the detention room one day instead of sitting in the commons area between school and practice.

Basically, hes not in any real trouble and though were gonna discuss it further, as long as its not on his record, its not a real big problem.

I made it clear that this kid is not to touch him ever again. If he does, my son has green light to give him a reminder.....
