My daugher's day at school

Today a boy threaten Lindsey at school.
(this boy lives a few houses up from us, and has been a good kid till this school year, this year he seems to be in trouble ALL the time)

He told her he was going to beat her up, b/c she talks to Breianna. He told Breianna he was going to beat her boy friend up b/c since she started dating him she never talks to him anymore.

He verbally said this AND text this to her phone.

Lindsey told him well it is her choice if she talks to your or not. So get over it.

Now you know Lindsey, she never wants to get anyone in trouble.

Well today When Isaac did this, something must have clicked with her, or it felt odd or something, she reported this to the Guidance Office.

She showed them her text and told them what happen.

They then call Mr. Newlin (principal) on this..
He then got the School Police man, and they called Isaac mom, they all were in the office in a meeting

They told Lindsey she could press charges, but she did not want to do that. BUT if he did or said anything else she would.

They told him if this ever happen again, full charges would happen, and he would be put out of school for the rest of the year. And this would go in his file.

Later Isaac came to Lindsey said he was Joking. Lindsey said she did not say anything back to him.

Lindsey told me I do not think he was kidding mom.

I told Lindsey she did the right thing, and I was very proud of her for going and Turing him in.

I told Lindsey ALL WAYS trust your feelings on things Like this, it is the Lord telling you something not right!

Every Morning on the way to school I pray for the Lord to watch over them, to keep all harm out of their way..

Today the Lord did just that.

It sounds like she did the right thing.

I'm glad she is okay.

And, the other good thing is by bringing the guidance counselor, parents and other authorities into the situation, he may get the help he needs now so that he will return to being a "good kid" and so that he can realize the seriousness of making a violent threat.
Good job, Lindsey,
and mom.

Lindsey did the right thing. Hopefully if more step up like she did, kids will start to realize that that type of "joking" really isn't funny.

It's always a joke, isn't it? Like the guy who was joking when he sent about 2 dozen text messages and another dozen voice mails detailing all of the grotesque ways he was going to kill a lady. She pressed charges on him, however, for something else she had no evidence to support. I actually convinced her she had no chance of winning her case (she wanted money, and she was entitled to none), and she left the courtroom in tears when the DA told her I was right. I actually told her, "I'm just glad you didn't press charges against him for all that." She was too dense to blink and think, "Hey, I could still do that". She had the phone in her hand, with the voice mails and texts still on it, showed them to me, and, on her way out of the courthouse, passed right by the office she could've stopped in to press those charges.

What this kid did is unacceptable. I've had a problem with a 5 year old in my daughter's class at preschool who has twice hit her and choked her once. I gave the school the first chance to handle it, and so far they have. Next time, it's between me and daddy, though.
