My 14 year old son started his freshman yr of high school. He was so excited up every morning to catch bus by 6:40am, loves his classes, teachers and is real optimistic about homework. He also joined A+ program and is interested in mentoring. He loves his family and has lots of friends, very likable and everyone likes him including teachers.One evening last week him and a friend were picture texting , just goofen around. They were sending pics of bad tasted such as sunglasses on a p***s but total cropped. The next day at school the other boy had fwd it to a boy who added more pics to original and fwd it to other kids. Needless to say there were suspensions, the boy who had added on got 180, there were two 10 and one 3. At first the principal called and said my son did not do it in school so his hands were tied, 3 days later he called and said my son will get 10 days for distributing pornography and disrupting school. We have a meeting to determine whether or not there will be more then 10 days out. Of course as a mother I find that it is inappropriate to text and that it was i in bad tasted but I also choose pick my battles. He does not do drugs, he is respectful, and he did not intend for this text to be forwarded and it was not on school property nor was it during school hours. I feel that what my child does at home it is my responsibility to discipline. What do you think?
