They're being taking to court in three weeks. He needs a brief that specialises in these cases.

Appreciate that, just my take on what should really happen, good luck to the lad and hope all turns out well!

Just say he's a gender free Muslim and they will stay well clear of him.........

In all seriousness though is that how strict the laws have become, i used to truant quite often in the last couple of years at school and can't remember anything serious as punishment. How the hell can they fine or imprison you ffs? If a kid don't want to go to school a parent can't really make them at the end of the day.

You went to school?

Get the media involved and  your local politician for a character witness and they will soon back down. It's easy drag people through family court matters because of privacy laws but if it hits the newspapers nobody wants to be seen as been a twat. Even if names are withheld gossip will still let everyone know who is involved and embarrass a few people. They won't like that.

There's Help Groups on the internet, have a search and i hope all goes well.

Cheers, D.

I knew it was special school

How long has this been going on for it to get to this situation ? You must have had letters sent to you and meetings at the school about this situation. If you have ignored the situation and have allowed him to stay off for whatever reason then the authorities have a duty to investigate for the benefit of the child. How is it that he has gotten out of school to end up walking along a busy road without the school knowing about it ? Surely  his problems must have come to the surface and special help provided to help him. My 5 year old grandson has some issues and the school has bent over backwards to help him and the parents. I hope that you get the help and assistance that you aĺl need. Get advice as to your position.

I can fully understand about trauncy etc.. But the lad feels alone. And he classes himself as thick. So school etc is a nightmare. My Mrs also came to conclusion. If he's off she knows his safe. But as I've said this other spot gives him one to one and gives him time. And he loves it. But to little eto late. 

Only reason he's classing himself as thick, is because everyone is telling him that mate.

The fuuck do these clowns know anyway? Apart from stats eh?

As for social services I have an complete hatred and distrust for them. Fuuckers made my life a bloody struggle, all in the name of the right thing

You know your boy, as said; get a good brief and Dr's certs and tell them to let him be.

Those special schools they send kids to... normally are a complete joke.

Wish you the best mate

Hi all. Me and the Mrs has been summoned to court for section 444 1a. Which is trauncy. But knowing that the pupil is off. Carries a 2,500 fine and /or 3months in jail.!! Now my son is severly dislexic and really struggles at school. So school put him in another school for struggling kids and bad kids. The poor lad was struggling and feeling trapped so keeped walking out. But walking home via a dual carriaway. He is 14 years old. Anyway now court are involved and we are up in 3 weeks. My Mrs is seriously flapping and reading all stories on the Internet about jail etc. Anyone else had same going on.. P. S my daughter has 100% attendance and is a straight A student. And also the last 3 weeks my son has been put on a placement fixing moterbikes, cars etc and hasn't missed a day.!! 

this is from experiance mate..we had a fourteen year old lad with us in care..the lad was a nightmare at school etc..any way we had a meeting with the social workers etc,who never had a clue. so i told them school's no good for him any more..to disruptive etc..so i tell em he needs to be put to work..but he's only fourteen they say,so what i tell em he can come to work  with me ..[shock horror].lol..twenty mins later they agreed mate..the lad was allways gonna have to be watched,but the time he spent with me was ok.good little grafter he was..good luck....

As said, do make sure that you get proper help.

 

Also put together as much info as you can about the lads struggles, truancy, upheaval of moving school and, about his progress on the work placement - see if they'll give a reference on his attendance and behaviour.

 

Let them know about your daughter so that they can see that you're not a 'Don't give a shit' parent.

 

If you get the chance, let the court know that you know that your boy isn't cut out for mainstream education and, make it clear that his behaviour and the court case has had an effect on your missus.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to ask the court for recommendations for help - they'll appreciate the sentiment and, they might just come up with something good.

 

Good luck to you both and, to your boy

Jonjon. Good sensible post .Foxpack.  Good luck with your lad hope all goes well. Atb

Gotcha!

Apologies if my response came across as a little dickish. It wasn't intentional.
