It is quite frustrating often the inappropriate and abusive parenting things he does and he somehow manages to stay just inside the boundaries of the law so that nothing can be done.

He actually describes exactly my complaint that the school should follow their policies first and foremost. He also went on to say that the school has... Continue Reading →
