If this is a special school for youth with behavioral issues, I suspect the teen may have some type of mental health or autism spectrum disorder, which creates behavioral disruptions. Pressing charges is not the answer here, it will then thrust the youth into the juvenile justice system where those exact behaviors become worse. The youth may be a product of a loving home environment but due to his diagnosis, may have those same very issues at home. Unless you know and understand the circumstances which lead to this horrific act of violence, one cannot make a judgment on the end results. There is no excuse for the attack on the teacher, there should have been safe guards put into place which would have ensured a better outcome, especially if you're working with this population of youth.
ESOP would be able to assist, an office in Warren and now services are being offered in Columbiana County @ The Family and Community Resource Center. Even if you walk away..the lender may come after you for the monies, which is why ESOP would be a great resource to get in touch with before walking away. Getting a lawyer to explore options is good too-legal aid is free if you qualify. Credit counseling would be another option for those who live off of credit cards and take loans out against their homes due to the lack of budgeting knowledge or monies. Exploring other educational options which would give you better paying jobs. Eastern Gateway Community College has a free Career Assessment workshop which allows one to do so. Especially for those who are displaced workers due to unemployment or job closings. Many answers to the situation but are people willing to listen or follow through? Sitting around blasting people nor offering solutions is not solving the problems in a constructive manner.
I resent the wording of "mentally retarded" utilized by the author of this piece who apparently is not sensitive to the nature of someone with a disability. Proper wording would have been "mentally challenged".....there is current legislation which will take the retard out of mentally--let's get with the program guys! It's apparent a class in sensitivity is needed by authors of such pieces.
