OP:

My son is in third grade. There is a boy in his class who has been messing with him, so my son told him that he " didn't want to be his friend anymore " and my son refused to sit with him at lunch, where most of the harassment took place.

The boy did not take it well. Apparently, he started hitting his head off of things and threatened suicide. He told the teacher and principal that he has a plan on how to do it. My heart breaks for this kid, obviously he has deeper issues :(

That being said, they are trying to pin it on my son and one teacher actually told him that it was his fault ! His actual home room teacher called me and let me know what went on and said that my son was on no trouble, but they were looking into it more on Monday.

The principal told him that he should have told the teacher first instead of telling the boy that he didn't want to be friends. Can they really take away my son's right to choose his friends ? More importantly, are they allowed to blame a 9 year old boy for another child being suicidal ?

I am not sure that I want them talking to my son alone anymore. Can I demand that they don't ?

Bleep Bloop. I'm NOT a bot; however, this action was scripted automatically. If there if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please voice them to /u/dcorbe. Thank you!
