Last school year, my son was walking home from school with 3 of his friends and was approached by 2 students, one with a knife. The boy with the kife said he was going to 'stick' all of them. Aparrently, there was some conflict with between this knife kid and one of the boys in my son's group. Well, we pressed assalt charges and the kid was in 'In School Suspension' then went to some type of alternative education program. I thought he was gone for good, until my son called me on the way home from school, yesterday, and said this kid was back in school. He has not said anything to my son, yet. We have not even gone to court for the charges we filed (november 08 is when we are supposed to go).
My question is; is there any way to protect my son for this kife kid? I asked the police department about a restraining order, I was told that would be a civil matter and not enforced by the police department. I have no idea of what to do, other than put my son in another school. Any suggestions or advise out there?
