    Boy, 9, arrested? Arrested? The only thing the 9 year boy needed was a good spanking like discipline was dispensed in the not-so-long-ago old days.

      You would think, but it’s more likely that the parents will question the school and blame them.

        My older sister has been teaching Junior High School math for 37 years, she will be retiring after this year. When I asked her what has changed the most over the all her years of teaching she says “the parents”. When she has to contact them to get their help with a student’s poor performance, or that the student is not doing the assigned homework, more often than not the parents yell at her and tell her it’s her fault!

    Should not be allowed back into school. He would be a danger to teachers, espcially older ones. He would also be a danger to other students, probably a bully. If school lets him or her back, should be under care of a doctor.

    What ever happened to reform school? He would be a candidate.

    How sad to call the police to deal with a kid in elementary school. Love the reporting, Would be nice to know just what injuries were received and the circumstances around the incident. Perhaps the kid was being sexually molested?
