Help Needed, not fishing relate - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Greetings all, it comes with a great pride flush that I reach out to you all, help if you can, pray if you can, send positive thoughts if you can.

Last year in October my son was arrested from school, he's 8 years old, because the principal thought he was a threat to the school. He was having an out burst that we have come to learn is part of his Autism that he was diagnosed with. Since then we have been fighting the school district with lawyers, advocates, and doing all we can to get him placed in a school that can really help him. The school wants to ignore all of the professionals that have signed off on his diagnosis, and put him in a treatment school for emotionally disturb children, of which Nick is not. There is so much more, I don't want to bore you all with the details. Here's a link to a page that I setup to help us cover the costs that we've had to endure so far and much more to come. If you can help, please do so, if not a prayer and a tip of the cap will do as well.

God Bless,
JimmyZ

Jimmy, if you're interested, give me a call. Our family has gone through a similar situation at my sons school. Claiming my son had ADD, turned to be not true at all. But in the process we pulled him out of public school. You can call me anytime. 760-845-6901 take care and always believe in your child.

Thanks Tsugg I'll give you a ring. Sadly most schools want to jump to the ADHD and push for the parents to get their child on pills instead of trying to provide the child with what they truly need. The school kept pushing my son, he's 8 now, to the point where his frustrations finally lashed out. In his anger, and people who understand Autism know what I'm talking about, does not recall much of what he says, and sometimes does throw out threats, and appears to be destructive. So the principal at his school went against all protocol and called to have him arrested for being a threat to the school. This was wrong in so many ways. We're trying to find a lawyer that can take on our case to sue the school district but are having a tough time doing so. Thanks for the support man.
