Generally we live in very safe place, kids go to small school, no significant issues to speak of.
But my daughter's 6th grade seems to have some real trouble makers (relatively speaking).
Now getting most of this second hand through her, but... There is a new boy this year, who came to school for a few weeks and then apparently choked his twin brother severely enough that they sent him to the local mental hospital for a couple of months.
So he got out returned to school last week, they had a dance on Friday night where the choker asked a girl to dance with him and she said no. So he tracked down the kid she liked and proceeded to choke him. Which if true you would think would buy you a one-way ticket back to the mental hospital. But the kid is in school this week. He was sent out of my daughter's class to the principle's office yesterday for telling another kid he was fat and annoying, or something to that effect.
Another boy who is always getting in trouble punched a kid in the gut at the dance, a kid who is recovering from a broken sternum. Boy is the son of a teacher and an administrator at the school, but has not been in school this week.
And to top it all off, another girl freaked my daughter out by telling her she was going to "fucking punch her" because she danced with a boy that asked her to, and the other girl likes that boy.
The choking incident (or whatever happened) prompted the dance to be ended early.
Very tempted to contact the school over the choker but who knows what is true and it's not like the school will be able to say anything about what is going on.
