7:01 pm

zoozzoom

No!

7:01 pm

zoozzoom

Why did he do that?

7:02 pm

Well he did and afterwards he was given one more chance or he would be excluded. Today he tried to strangle his once best friend. needless to say his school is not amused.

Sorry to hear your grandson is being naughty.Have you spoken to him to find out why he is being like he is?

7:09 pm

jaxx7

He doesn't know or won't say. All I know is that when we were involved with Social services last year, they told us next time he would be taken into care.

7:12 pm

zoozzoom

Sad that he feels the need to vent how he is.Wondering how is mother is dealing with this.
