My Eight Year Old Son, The Criminal, page 2

I have 2 boys (8 and 11) in school. The schools are becoming a joke. All the teachers do now is push the Taks test on these kids. Basically they go over everything on the test so the kids know it just so they pass. Higher percentage of students passing equals more $$$$$$$$ and that is what it is all about now. No one gives a damn about our kids. They are pawns in this corrupt government used to push their agendas.
Gone are the days where a teacher would see a quality in a student and work on that. Gone are the days where a student feared the teacher and principal( fear as in respect) because they knew if they got out of line the punishment would be swift. Gone are the days where if you got punished in school that was the least of your worries, you were more worried about what Dad or Mom would do. Gone are the days of common sense and good judgement because teachers and principals can't make decisions anymore because our government does it for them by way of thousands of pages of rules and laws written by men and women with bigger agendas.
I am sorry for the long rant, but I am sick of it. Thanks for giving me the forum to vent.

That is why im curious as to what the exact law states, that the child is being charged with.

Ive done some searching, but nothing has come up yet.

The charges could possibly be terroristic threat, which in Tx is a class C Misdemeanor.

Right, but im still curious as to the exact language of the law...and how it was applied to charging this child. And what exactly "is" the charge. Im also curious as to the state/jurisdiction this happened it.

Im not saying I dont believe you, the OP, im just curious about the law/charge itself

to start off this is a very stupid thing that the school is doing but ive been through the juvenile system a couple of times and have seen countless others go through the juvenile legal system some younger than your son. first off what exactly is he being charged with you can call the district attorneys offica and get a copy of the papers.... was their a arrest warrant? if there wasnt then itll propably end in a judicial slap on the wrist dont let me see you in court ever again type situation or community service or possibly probation. judging by his age im going to say they arent going to give him probation. if they were going to consider giving him any kind of jail time he would have spent three days in the juvenile detention center and then had to go to a detainment hearing. but they have alreaddy atleast based on the action of not arresting have deemed he doesnt need to be detained. so i dont see any sort of jail time happening. community service isnt exactly the greatest thing ever either but is better than probation. as far as a attorney goes first offense at age 8....talk to the other kids mom and get a public defender. some of you are going to say dont get a public defender but a public defender just got me off of armed robbery assault with a deadly weapon and battery with 3 years probation in which the max sentence i was looking at was 14 years in the state department of corrections so they are alright as far as lawyers go...and free. but im saying he'll get a slap on the wrist and thats saying if the judge (which it may surprise you how judges are) doesnt throw the case out when the evidence is brought forth. like i said though if he was going to jail they would have already had him in a facility even if it is just a holding facility.

im assuming its propably just threateningor public affray and the more i think about it maybe she shouldnt talk to the other kids mom it may be seen as intimidating a witness.

Its called homeland security law. You can be charged for any infraction they make up. The system now is geared to create a record in there database to follow you for life.
