To me, this case reaffirms that schools are using criminal prosecutions to relieve their ethical and financial burdens. The "injured" aid provides a telling remark in this article, “I pressed charges in order to get the ball rolling to get his mother to realize he needs additional help." So, what new placement has the school offered? The article provides a long list of unwanted behaviors by this student, so why were these behaviors allowed to go on so long without a proposed change of placement? Please, if you are willing, go the comments portion of the news page and offer any insights you may find helpful.
