Shouldn’t school districts be used to homeschooling now and know that they can’t force parents to send their kids to school<\/a>? I think if I were the parents I would sue the school for harassment and for failure to protect my kids from intimidation:<\/p>\n

A Missouri public school is pursuing a complaint against a mother for withdrawing her son and daughter from the school and teaching them at home, after an apparent threat to the daughter’s life at the school.
\nThe case involves Moberly, Mo., mother Anita Nicoli, who withdrew her daughter and a son from Moberly Middle School recently after what she has described as a two-year campaign of intimidation by other students.
\nThe breaking point came when another student, who allegedly had harassed and assaulted her daughter, drew a picture of herself holding a gun and pointing it directly at Nicoli’s daughter. The picture was passed around among students, she said.
\nBut she now has been cited in a complaint filed by the school after she withdrew two of her children.
\n[…]
\nThe incident that she perceived as a threat was especially egregious, she told WND, because the student who drew the picture showed it to her daughter, and then other students saw it as well. One student told a teacher, who took the picture. But Nicoli said when she found out and wanted a copy of the offending picture to pursue a complaint, the school told her it had been lost.
\n[…]
\nThe last situation with her daughter happened when the other student hit her daughter in the face with a locker door, leaving a bruise on her check. Then the other student slapped her daughter, punched her, and threatened to “kick” her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think this school has a lot of nerve charging the parent with neglect when they did nothing about the bullying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
