[QUOTE="PorcupineWhisperer, post: 259357, member: 62"] JJJ - True they can only suspend him for 10 days, but think of it this way - he's being raised by a single mom who has to work. If he is even suspended for 1 day, she would have to take off work since child care for difficult child is kind of tough to find. Also if he was to get a ticket for disruptive behavior, mom would have to pay the fine. Right now, he is protected from these consequences because all behavior issues are handled by the self contained classroom's level system. TL - Sorry to hear about kt's experience in the mainstream class - that sounds truly awful. I do think you're 100 % right in that developmental age definitely needs to be factored in. While difficult child is 15, emotionally I'd say he was closer to 10 - 11 on a good day :). difficult child really has worked hard and come a long way. He is finally on a good medication combo and after 2 years of intensive therapy, he is really turning into a very likable young man. He's not the predator he once was (although shadows of the sociopath remain). Hopefully his progress forward will continue. By the way, sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. [/QUOTE]
