Hi Kerry...Everyone :o) Yeah...we aren't happy about it...and I don't like being worried about him more than I already do to begin with! Yes...the bus driver and aid I'm sure are being more vigilant even though they swear "it couldn't have happened on the bus". After receiving several responses from Holly and company and Kathy Hendler's child advocate friends I sat down yesterday afternoon and wrote a letter detailing the timeline and events...things that were said, done, when they were said and done and by whom...I have shown it to Charleen who works for an attorney (I figured she could be objective and tell me if it came off sounding unemotional and professional)....I also showed it to Kris and my coworkers and they gave me a couple suggestions...so I'm fine tuning it and mailing it out to the superintendant of schools, transportation director, and Devon's school administration and I'm giving a copy to Kris too just so she'll have it. The thing that is making me almost as angry as the biting incident itself is the lack of motivation and apparent lack of concern on the part of the administration. That is why I want these people to at least be aware of the incident. I really am not out for blood or money...I just want my son to be safe. I want to light a fire under the appropriate people's fanny so to speak. I understand the bureaucratic BS...but in my opinion too much time is passing without any action. But I'm also aware that I'm only going to make it worse if I charge in there with my emotions raging....so I'm venting to you all and trying to be intelligent about my responses to them. Today, as it happened, my boss needed a ride down to a tire place to pick up his vehicle and it put me a 1/2 mile from Devon's school just 15 minutes before the end of the school day so I went and picked him up myself :o) He just makes my day when his face breaks into that face splitting grin when he sees me :o) I wish I could pick him up everyday...but it just doesn't work that way for us :o( Thanks all of you for your concern!
