A Big Improvement
The school cop called me this morning. They are taking action! Anthony is off the bus and who knows what else. Heidi said he opened a switchblade. The officer said it's a lighter with a switchblade in it. The officer also told me that they had other trouble with kids in the last few days, drugs and whatnot.
There was a news report on CBS yesterday that talked about safety in suburban schools. Kids are more likely to get into trouble in the suburban schools than they would be in urban areas. Surprising? Maybe not. There's not a lot to do out here in the sticks. You have to have a car and everything's quite a ways off.
Anyway, the good news is that the authorities are finally taking action on this kid. TB and I decided we would press charges after all.
Linda called this morning. She and Tomas are at home now and are doing well. She's been resting when the baby sleeps, good for her! She sounds so happy! And Kennan and his father have both fallen in love with the little guy, especially Kennan. 
What's On your "I'll Never Do That Again" list Right Now?
I?ll never let another school administrator sweet talk me into waiting to act on a really important issue as happened with the incidents that occurred in the last couple of weeks!
