Well things are more calm today but still way out of proportion in my opinion. Because the girl reported it to a teacher (and it did stem from a school project after hours) they "need to treat it as a sexual harrassment issue".

I'm a huge proponant (sp?) for taking the punishment due but they've really over stepped. I'm keeping my mouth shut as a few hours of comunity service isn't too bad.

He's a good kid but with this particular group, common sence goes right out the window. He won't be fully grounded as I think the drama at school will be enough but that neighbor family of kids is off limits for a yet undetermined amount of time. They are just too disrespectfull and too full of trouble; they have been since they moved in several years ago.

The girl and my boy will sit down one day this week with a school admin to sllow him to appoligize again and hopefully move on.

Funny thing is the we just had a family discussion about problems with texts and facebook and the internet as a whole. This was after the incident but before we knew about it.

Oh yeah, he knows it was dumb and knew it even before he sent it. We all admit it.
