This child meets all of the requirements for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. The criteria is that a person is dangerous to himself or others. This child is definitely dangerous to others and needs immediate help and treatment. The lack of conscience seems to be showing a trend toward sociopathy. He needs to be hospitalized. I can't emphasize that enough.
From the ACLU California web site:
What are the grounds for suspension and expulsion in California?
A school may suspend or expel students for the following reasons: being habitually disobedient; damaging or stealing school or private property; threatening or causing physical injury to others; possessing weapons or other dangerous objects; selling or bringing drugs or alcohol to school; doing something legally "obscene;" being involved in "habitual profanity and vulgarity;" disrupting school activities; intentionally defying the legitimate authority of school officials; or smoking in school. You may also be expelled for engaging in acts of sexual harassment, for hate violence, or for creating an intimidating or hostile educational environment.
But, under California law, school officials are supposed to try to correct bad behavior - rather than suspend or expel you - unless a student’s presence causes danger to people or property or threatens to disrupt school activities.
If I were a parent with a child in this school or a child who was injured by this student, I would be raising hell to get him OUT. Other children's safety is at risk.
