This is going on in public schools!

This is someone I know personally.

This is unbelievably tragic.

I homeschooled my children. I'm not a perfect parent or a perfect educator, but my heart always ached when I heard or read about abuse in schools. It confirmed for me that, at least for a while, my children were best served at home.

(Sorry for resurrecting this weeks after you share it. I don't get on here enough).

Thank you for responding. The mother of the little boy is my youngest daughter's best friend. She had surgery as a teenager that resulted in a damaged nerve affecting one leg. She was told she would never be able to carry a child to term, and she would be confined to a wheelchair. She pushed herself and fought hard to overcome that disability, and is able to walk with a cane. She got married and had her son. Her husband was abusive - my daughter actually jumped on him and beat him down to the ground once for hitting her friend in front of her. They divorced. He and his new wife had little contact with his son, leaving him out of family pictures, not taking him on family vacations, had not even seen him for the six months preceding his death. Then, they blamed her for the boy's death, tried to have her arrested for child abuse. He might have succeeded if the teacher's aide had not spoken up and provided pictures.
