Am I wrong for hoping a 2nd grader gets expelled?

This little boy needs help!! There is underlying circumstances that need to be investigated. He may be special needs!!

My son had this exact same thing happen to him with another boy at this age. Unfortunately the kid only was sent home a few times. He was kicked out of the after school program and sent to a special class everyday. But he never got expelled.

Expelled is ridiculous. Yes your super wrong. Thereā€™s plenty of intervention that should happen. How about the child being put in an emotional support class. Nope you want a 7 year old banished. Thereā€™s almost definitely something going on at home. Instead of worrying about this you want them taken out of the school where there wonā€™t be anyone overseeing the child or their behavior or possible signs of abuse. Schools are usually the only defense or safe place a child has but yes lets take it away because of acting out. How about you homeschool your child since thatā€™s your only concern. I have 8 kids i have definitely been through much worse. Instead of hoping the children were thrown out we tried to get the other children help. Pretty mind-boggling looking out for children that arenā€™t mine. I know itā€™s a super hard concept to understand.

If we look at most serial killers and rapists, they have endured mental, physical, sexual and verbal abuse as they were growing up and they too were giving problems at school or in the play grounds and did inappropriate things. This is a 7 year old child and this child most likely needs help and not to be pushed further into inappropriate behavior. The school needs to contact his parents and talk about what is happening with this child and treatment is needed for this kid. It could become very dangerous at a later stage if this is not taken care of right now. But expelling him is not the right thing to do. In this ur little girl has been negatively affected by his actions, so she too needs to get some help to make her understand that something is wrong with this kid

I cant believe how many people are saying that shes wrong and that shes terrible and that its none of her business. It is her business when her child is being exposed to that sort of stuff, shes not terrible, she just wants to protect her child. Yes no one should want a kid to get expelled but she did say that itā€™s sad and that she wants the kid to get help. She wasnt saying anything malicious or out of anger. She wants the other kid to get the proper help he needs and protect her child at the same time.

What right do you have to know anything that the school does with a child that is not yours? Thatā€™s right you donā€™t and they cannot give you information on anyrhing they do with that other child either. There are laws they have to abide by. They can move your child to another class if you feel your child is unsafe.
This child probably has an IEP and is protected and has a right to an education just like your child. If you dont know about special needs kids and what can happen with them like yelling etc because they are uncomfortable at a particular moment then sit down. For those saying ā€œthere is definitely something going on at homeā€ well not always the case. My suggestion for the person who posted is move your child to another classroom.

We have a similar kid in my sonā€™s year - year 5. He is an absolute nightmare and needs to go to a school that can help him. We wish he would be removed from this school so that he can get to a school which offers the right support. He punched and kicked a little girl in my sons year and the school wouldnt tell her mum what punishments had been dealt. In the policing world, the victim knows what punishment has been dealt, so we canā€™t understand why the school wonā€™t discuss it.

Are you wrong no but keep in mind he is in second grade and they are now just grasping the concept of right and wrong based on your post it sounds like thereā€™s something more going in weather itā€™s home environment or behavioral he needs help either way and a smaller classroom might be better so he can get more one on one time and it might help him Iā€™m sorry your going threw this and I hope at the very least they move him into a smaller room with less kids so he can get more attention should he need it good luck momma

I completely understand why you would be concerned. The boy needs help obviously but you still have the right to know whats happening to protect your own child.
Its hard to get kids the help/school environment they need and complaints from other parents can bring pressure on the school to find an appropriate placing for himā€¦therefore helping his cause.
Iā€™m sure his parents are embarrassed that heā€™s exposed himself in the class and im sure they are desperate to get him into a proper safe school that meets his needsā€¦keep up the pressureā€¦keep your own child safe and help the boy and his family ensure action is taken to get the boy help.

He needs to be placed in a containment classroom. A first grader boy was hitting my daughter the principal was constantly making excuses for him, I went to the board of education and superintendent took me 4 months he was then placed in a containment classroom where he belonged. I wanted my daughter to hit him back, but she just wouldnā€™t. So I went to the school and told every single parent in the classroom that max is beating on my daughter and then other moms came forward that max was hitting their kids.

No your not wrong but also your not right. I have 8 children out of the 8 I have 1 son who seems to just not give a fuk about how he makes other people feel or has no recognition for consequence. I understand completely that other parents and kids would find it alot better for their child not to be around him. Or have him removed from the school. I take all of what he does face on. I donā€™t let him or myself hide from it. I was a behavior teacher aid myself so I donā€™t know where Iā€™ve gone wrong. I literally stay up at night picking my parenting apart over his behavior not understanding where Iā€™ve gone wrong.

Hes probably autistic or really has something wrong going on and your kind of an asshole I hope he gets the help he needs not expelled

Ok you need to think about underlining issues that may be causing the child to act out like thatā€¦and lack of socializing plays a part in thatā€¦my son is one of those kids it is not because of lack of parenting he has global development delayā€¦and he can not express his emotions and explain how he is feeling expecally when heā€™s madā€¦so no haveing him separated from other kids will not help this child at all and the fact you would rather seen him get expelled rather then get help speaks volumes and also you donā€™t want your daughter around him you could also take her out of school

Not sure what country youā€™re in but here in Australia if said child has a diagnosis (such as ASD) he cannot be expelled as much as other parents may want them to. If not, maybe the boyā€™s parents should look into having him assessed before being labeled as crap parents. Not every wild child was raised that way, some are wired that way and need to learn control that not even their parents can help with alone. Thereā€™s a boy like this in my youngest sonā€™s class, drives me crazy but thereā€™s sweet fa I can do about it :woman_shrugging:t3:

Yā€™all weirdos saying sheā€™s overreacting or itā€™s not her business are so fucking weird. Imagine your kid comes home yelling you all about little Johnnyā€™s penis. Yā€™all would be LOSING IT and calling every news station you could. Gtfoh.

The child creating the disruption may need a one on one PARA.
It is truly a difficult challenge for all involvedā€¦ The safety of children in the classroom is a first priority. If we,as parents, educators and community are not willing to support and educate our children with life challengesā€¦we reap what we sowā€¦I would work with my own child and try to support the others involved as best possibleā€¦a lot of prayers for all of you! Godspeed!

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Am I wrong for hoping a 2nd grader gets expelled?

Iā€™m in no way defending the little boyā€™s behavior but I just wanted to add after reading a few comments that our son had behaviors like this (minus the genital stuff) before he was properly diagnosed, treated, & medicated. He acted this way because of his mental illnesses. It WAS NOT learned behavior. People seem to always jump to that scenario and Iā€™ve never really understood it. Just because a child acts a certain way doesnā€™t always mean itā€™s because itā€™s what he/she is being subjected to in their at home life.

Mmm in my opinion I wouldnā€™t exactly say your wrong but i do think it is abit mean of you , this boy could have a reason as to why he is like this -could be special etc I donā€™t think him getting removed will help him at all like the above person said maybe aid etc? And also if he is autistic or something else why shouldnā€™t he be aloud to go to a normal school? Just because he needs abit of extra attention and care doesnā€™t mean he should be removed in my opinion

That boy needs proper help, removing him wonā€™t allow him that opportunity. I do agree he should have an aid and therapist.

This child who has been alive an entire seven years most likely has a disability, may possibly be abused and you have no idea what his home life is like. The child slipped through the cracks( like many last year due to Covid).

Should you be upset ABSOLUTELY! Maybe show a little more compassion. Take it as a learning opportunity for your daughter. How LUCKY you have a child not suffering through this. Teach them to look the other way and let the school deal with it. We donā€™t know if the parents are at a loss and seeking help as well. The school system doesnā€™t help and solve problems overnight. Use it as a learning experience for your child.

As for finding out what happens, itā€™s confidential. My guess is if your child suddenly was going through something very obvious to other children ( and anything can change in a moment) youā€™d want that confidentiality and support.

Would I talk to the principal, absolutely. How is my daughter being taking care of while this situation is being figured out? What is the protocol for behavior like this. Is there a timeline?

Compassion and teaching it goes a long way!!!

Iā€™m not sure expelling him would be the best course of action for this little boy.
The little boy could be acting out for reasons like abuse at home, sexual abuse or a learning disability. Give the school a chance to handle it. His poor mum must be mortified right now & could do with less judgement.

Can you imagine how the mum of the boy feel right now? She is probably mortified that her son behaved like that whilst already being stressed out trying to get her son the help and support he needs. Would expelling her son help anyone? It certainly wouldnā€™t help the boyā€™s mum in an already difficult situation. I understand that you are upset and his behaviour is not acceptable but ask the school what assistance they can provide to ensure it doesnā€™t happen again. Count yourself lucky that you donā€™t have to handle this behaviour on a daily basis because Iā€™ve no doubt if you look at his mum, she will be worn out and could actually use a friendly approach rather than treating her child like a naughty kid.

I think you should get your facts straight before shaming a little boy and his mother. I think everyone should take a course in special education to make them aware.

I think you should count your blessings and hope that you never have to deal with this yourself.
Iā€™m sure all parties are trying your best to deal with this circumstance.

Maybe hoping he gets help is the better thing.

That being said, where I can feel for other kids, mine are mine, and they come first, always.

Nope not wrong in your feelings. I went thru an issue with my daughter in kindergarten, and I was at the school every day att lunch, seen the behavior of another child, the ONE day I coudnt make it she was drinking out of the fountain, and the other chikd smashed her face into drinking fountain, lost 4 teeth needeed 36 stitchesā€¦ I demanded a solution by end of school next day or attorneys woukd be involved, she was removed from the school.
On the flip side, its a learned behavior, she was in her great granpatents care, parents lost custody, unfortunately, I felt bad fir her situatuon, I hope she got the help she neededā€¦ Child was just in wring environmentā€¦ So sad when they do noy have structure.

When my child was in kindergarten he did this EXCEPT for exposing himself. I believe he has PANDAS but have yet to find a doctor that is able to diagnosis him. It is very rare and insurance doesnā€™t cover the doctors that deal with it. Plus it can takes years of studying ur child to get a diagnosis. Kindergarten was awful for everybody. Please donā€™t judge this child. I understand ur concern about everything. I have spent so much time trying to find the answer on the other end of the situation. My son didnā€™t have an IEP cause they had to wait to get one even though ik he needed one. Without that IEP they canā€™t do anything really. So it may be everybody has their hands tied until the school gets him an IEP which takes time to do cause it is a like diagnosis and it is custom for the child. I am so sorry that ur daughter was exposed (definitely not ok) but just remember donā€™t label him bad or that he has shitty parents. He obviously needs help with something and I would pray for that baby boy.

At seven, the parents should know my his behavior and prepared the teacher and school. They should have an aide with him at all times.

:wave: Iā€™m the mum of the kid who disrupts the class and hits his teachers. Not in this story however from my perspective hereā€™s what Iā€™ve done.

Iā€™ve removed my son from mainstream to special education. Only to have them bounce him back to mainstream.
Iā€™ve done reduced hours. Still doing that.
Iā€™ve done trips back to the school to collect him 10 minutes after dropping him off.
Iā€™ve been to specialists. Who donā€™t listen to me.
Iā€™ve been to meetings with the school. Begging for help.
Iā€™ve been to therapists. Iā€™ve been ignored there too.
I sit here every day and wait for the expulsion call. I dread and expect it. If he gets expelled I am screwed. I can kiss goodbye to the career Iā€™m building myself. I can kiss goodbye to moving forward in life.

I understand your distress but wishing expulsion on this child whoā€™s mum and or dad is trying everything to better the situation for everyone is horrible.

I am reminded of an incident that my (now 22 year old daughter) was involved in when she was in pre-school. She attended a private school as did her brother; the school had a zero tolerance policy regarding any type of weapon (real, fake, imitating). While waiting, on school property to pick up my son, a boy from her class ran up to her with a realistic but toy gun, pointed it her & pretended to shoot herā€¦saying ā€œyouā€™re dead.ā€ My daughter suffers from selective mutism & couldnā€™t say anything so completely shut-down. She had nightmares for months.

I contacted the school immediately to report the incident to the principalā€¦after all, zero tolerance is zero toleranceā€¦no, zero tolerance didnā€™t apply to us bc the other family were church benefactors & I was a single mom. I was told that kids will be kids & pretend ā€œall the time.ā€ I asked the question that if my son or daughter did the same thing to this child, what would happen. Without missing a beat, the nun told me ā€œthat every situation is different & requires a different punishment.ā€

Now, the point of my rambleā€¦this little boy traumatized my daughter EVERY SINGLE DAY & knew he wouldnā€™t get in troubleā€¦I wanted him out of the school (or at least her class) & honestly wished someone would torment & traumatize him.

Fast-forward to his teenage yearsā€¦absolute troublemaker with no regard for authority.

Where is he now? In & out of jail for weapon offenses. Maybe, just maybe, if zero meant zero, his life could have been different.

I hope you & your daughterā€™s feelings are taken into serious consideration & the child receives the appropriate punishment.

Pull her out and homeschool her. Also, you need to make sure someone reports this action to child protective services to investigate. That child could be being abused. But your job is your child. Do what you have to do.

Not at allā€¦ But sounds like the parents and school has alot to answer for. A child in my sonā€™s school beat him up in the toilets, and the playground, always puts him down about his culture (Both are the same culture) puts pencils down the back of students pants when theyā€™re sitting down, has also revealed his genitals to girls students, Even asked what sexual things the year 1 girls have done, Peeā€™d on another stupid and told him if he tells he would bash him, swear at teachers, walks outta class and hits other students and staff members. This child has had many chances. (Since Kindy) and nothing has been done. Teachers just walk with him and make sure he doesnā€™t leave the school grounds when he walks outta class swearing at everyone. Words Iā€™ve never heard adults say.

Honestly this kid may come from a split family and he could be acting up because of the stress, different schedule, picking sides, feeling overwhelmed etc
Or maybe there is a new baby at home taking up attention an he is trying to get it in all the wrong ways
I say this because my stepson started acting out, split family, lots of drama and strain he had to go through, along with now having a brother who needs a lot of time and attention due to disabilities. He started acting up in ways that we couldnā€™t even recognize him anymore. Complete 180. Started hurting people, saying awful things,damagung thing, being rebellion, disrespectful, any thing negative he was going to be. And we have worked on a lot of it an get him what he needs but it takes time Nd all parties involved to get it sorted out. He has some mishaps here and there. But I have been the worried one of him being expelled and itā€™s not a good feeling

Usually kids like this are acting this way as a cry for help. I would push the principle to research this further

Expelled to is not the answer the boy needs help he comes back days thanks for the vacation and acts the same

This sounds like sexual harassment to me. If this child is special needs then this problem needs to be taken care of ASAP before he sexually assaults someone.

Iā€™m gonna say my daughter is seven an she hits an pulled her pants down undies an all at lunch. But in her defense she has Autism with Severe ADHD an she was told by the other kids to do it so she wanted to be accepted. 100% has something going on either at home or has a disability. I feel the protection for your baby but you never know what that child is going through

What should happen is the boy gets sent to a smaller school specifically with smaller class room sizes and teachers who are hired specifically for children who act out.

Maybe not expelled but def this needs to be investigated.

My daughter was stabbed with a pencil by a kid who had underlying issues in high school. Couldnā€™t do a damn thing about it. She said he did random acts of violence daily, and the teacher told them to ignore itā€¦ She was more upset that her learning was perpetually disrupted, because she was well on her way to scholarships and graduating with college credits, which she did. I felt bad for the kid, but I felt worse for the ones who sat there in fear, waiting for him to snack them across the face with a clipboard or stab them with a pencil, or whatever he felt the need to doā€¦ it was an abusive situation.

Early intervention for childrenā€™s behavior is the best for them. Unfortunately, the State has many hoops to jump through to make sure that a child is placed correctly. This can take years and meanwhile the child goes through much frustration and failure. It is wrong .

As the adult, you should be able to see that a child so young behaving in such a way probably has difficulties. Be it with his home life or medically.

Yes. You are wrong. This child likely has some much deeper issues and instead of hoping for solutions that could help him, you WANT a SEVEN year old to be expelled from school.

This child could be abused at home and thatā€™s where you want to send him. He could have an undiagnosed (or diagnosed that you donā€™t know about because itā€™s not your business) disorder but you want to just get rid of him.

How about use this as an opportunity to teach YOUR child that boys and girls have different genitalia and there is nothing wrong with that. That, if she is exposed to another childā€™s privates, to turn and give them privacy because they may not know better or could have something wrong with them. Teach her compassion towards those who are acting out while also teaching that it still doesnā€™t mean she canā€™t have boundaries. Is it ok for this behavior to not be addressed and repeated a lot? No. But kicked out of school? No. Is it ok for anyone to touch her genitalia? No. Is it EVER ok for her to see an ADULTS genitalia? No.

Thank The Lord that you donā€™t have to experience YOUR child having behavioral/psychological problems issues. Be grateful that you are not in the shoes of those parents. Have compassion and remember that hurt people, hurt people a lot of the time. Children arenā€™t inherently bad. This comes from somewhere and what he needs is adults to care enough to teach him
Better rather than treating him like garbage that needs to be thrown out.

Be a better example for
Your child.

It sounds like he has a disability and at 7, they likely are still working to get everything under control. If the school called you, they clearly are aware & addressing the situation. If heā€™s hitting your daughter, I could see making demands for change but disruption isnā€™t enough for a kid to lose education at that age.

Yeah I canā€™t vibe with this AT ALL. My son is in kindergarten and has the same issues (although he hasnā€™t exposed himself), but he freaks out and tries to run away, hits teachers, kids, etc. I as his mother have tried EVERYTHING. He has had workers, heā€™s had counseling, hes been in therapy, heā€™s been suspended, we have had meetings, and even doctors appointments. It has been this way since he was about 3. Sometimes it takes A LOT to figure out what is wrong with a child and to get it under control. Iā€™m sure his parents are dealing with enough and donā€™t need him expelled because that will literally solve NOTHING. Smh

The lack of parenting on this thread is beyond ignorant. Mental disabilities or not this mother has every right to know what her child is being exposed to. How dare she want her child safe. How dare she not want her 7yr old daughter NOT be exposed to others sexual organs. Regardless of the nature being the boys actions the children exposed have rights too. The boy needs help thatā€™s obvious- but you guys are shaming a mother for wanting her child to be in a safe environment. Sad to see what some of you are willing to force your child to go through. You can teach tolerance about different children while keeping them safe from this behavior.

This hurts my heartā€¦ My son is having some of the same issues, only hes in kindergarten. Hes throw his shoes and pencil box, hes ripped his one page up. I feel as if my son has undiagnosed psych disorders and that i am not being heard. Yes you want your thoughts and feelings validated but also try to take a step back and ask yourself questions as well. Does thia little boy have any diagnosis that you do not know? Does this little boy have undiagnosed psych disorders? Has this little one been thru anything traumatic? I am so sorry that this little boy exposed himself and your daughter seen it.

Sounds like he has a disability. I would contact the school to see if your child can be moved to a different classroom and be in a better learning environment for her. Wishing you and your little the best of luck.

My son has an IEP for behavior and autism. They are REQUIRED to integrate him in a regular classroom part of the day, whether parents like YOU, like it or not. Maybe you need to put your daughter in a private school, where IEPs arenā€™t honored. This isnā€™t regarding mine because he doesnā€™t have girls in any of classes. Just food for thought.

You have every right to want this child removed from her room.He needs more help than a regular classroom can give him and you also want an enviroment that your daughter can learn in nothing wrong with that, itā€™s normal!

Exposing himself if definitely no tolerance. Sounds like he has mental issues.

This mentality of if a child has extra needs they donā€™t deserve the same opportunities as a ā€œnormal childā€ because I donā€™t understand the behavior and instead of saying out loud to the school that the child may need extra support is EXACTLY WHY our schools treat OUR KIDS the way that they do. Shame on you.

Stop sexualizing children! I bet her daughter barely thought anything of it until mom made a big deal of it. Doing far more damage making a big deal than the event itself. If she is that worried ask to have her child moved to a different class or different school. Nudity is not that big a deal except in the USA were prudes abound.

The comments here are absolutely disgusting and shows me that we havenā€™t come as far as we should have by now when referencing to a special needs child. He doesnā€™t have ā€œmental problemsā€ and he isnā€™t intentionally doing anything to upset anybody else. This child is the one whose struggling not yours. Be greatful for that and watch how you speak about these topics in front of your children. Going to school alongside other children on varying levels of thr spectrum taught me a lot about compassion, empathy and kindness. Iā€™ve carried that with me throughout my adulthood and motherhood as I now am a mother of my Autistic son. Youā€™re wrong for wanting something bad to happen to a special needs kid period.

By that age they shouldnā€™t be doing that! Even if he does have a problem there are schools that can help him. Hopefully they do remove him before he does something even worse!

No you are not wrong. If that school system isnā€™t working for him they are other schools that will accommodate him. Itā€™s not fair to the other children and the teacher have to deal with behavior like that. Yes he may have behavior issues but the teacher wasnā€™t trained for that behavior other schools where children have behavior issues, the teachers are trained on to work with those children

I support your hope.
When my oldest was in kindergarten he was being severely bullied. He was coming home cut and bruised. I wrote it off at first as kids playing too rough but it kept happening. He wouldnā€™t talk for the longest time but would cry every morning while getting ready for school until heā€™d throw up because he was so upset. Finally he told me what was happening. His teacher wouldnā€™t respond to me when I explained what my son told me and that I wished to speak with her to see about more information or to inform her in case she didnā€™t know. She wasnā€™t responding so I tried the office. They were completely unwilling to speak with me too. Finally I spoke with the bus driver because my son said a new black eye happened on the bus while playing with a girl and it was an accident. I asked if he knew and explained the bully issue in class and how the teacher and office was unwilling to speak with me so I just want to make sure it wasnā€™t an issue there again. He told me that he noticed the bruises and cuts and was thinking about reporting us to have our son checked. The next thing I knew the teacher now wanted to speak with me so Iā€™m thinking he made that happen. I told her any day any time Iā€™d make sure Iā€™m available. Then she refused to contact again. The injuries stopped and I asked my son about it. It turned out the kindergartner was expelled because he was attacking and terrorizing the class every day. Iā€™m happy he was expelled. I was talking to my boyfriend about trying to get the school to switch him to another class if they wouldnā€™t deal with the bully issue. Or potentially switch schools. I also since explained to my son that of someone is hurting him. (Hitting or kicking to be mean.) That he needs to fight back with all his might and I will stand with him and defend him if the school tries to punish him. We donā€™t take kindly to bullies.
