Email from mom of kid who held scissors against a girl's throat for asking him why he was suddenly walking around in the middle of class with scissors: "maybe it was wrong but my son is the real victim here, his classmates made fun of him for getting out of his seat"
Kid laughing while being scolded by a teacher for pushing little kids half his size out of the way in the hallway. Giggled when told outside of school it's assault & would result in cops being called: "I'll just pay them to leave me alone."
