As some have read in a previous posting Adam had ben abused at school by an EA. 
The police and Social Services were called and charges were laid. Our problem is that now because of liability issues the new EA is refusing to leave the classroom alone with Adam. She even wears surgical gloves around him (which is not nessessary). My 9 year old daughter actually told the EA last week that she didn't need to wear gloves as mommy had said DS is not contagious. So basically Adam is being punished for what the EA has done. The only thing she got was a restraining order againts Adam. Big deal she was only a suplement EA who doesn't even live here, she lives 30 mnutes away. we had 3 case conference to try to change the way things are, and of course nothing is happening so we have decided to send Adam to another school after the holidays. It's just not fair that he has to adjust and that my dauther is upset about it all. Another thing they do is if he decides to lay down and not move, they refuse to lift him which I was told was their rights for safety issues. But if he lays in the hallway for 15 minutes, the other kids either walk around him or over him to get out of school after the day is done. Savannah has actually walked over and simply said "Adam give me your hands " and he got up for her. She was told not to interfere. Well after all this he is going to a new school after the holidays. It is just sad that our children have to be punished this way when all the EA got was a slap on the wrist.
Thanks for listening.
And a Merry Christmas to everyone.
