Another §912 M1 Possess Weapon On School Property - 2/14/2018

[gdc]

Why does the parent give unsupervised access to an emotionally challenged child , anything remotely resembling a gun? If he was walking empty handed he'd been ok. This fits the pattern of that kid who killed his mom before he went and shot up the school a few years back. Getting a record now might save a catastrophe in the future.

And before you say it, I know, not my child.

Knowing the background of the story changed how I felt about the whole thing.

Yes, now we know the rest of the story and there usually is one. Nope doesn’t change me at all. Cops overboard with incarceration. Could have handled it better. No need for arrest 7 days later. No need for the lies by the school about his mother picking him up. Again cops, school all wrong.

Speaking of school grounds, I remember going to our local high school during deer season.
I'd park in the parking lot next to the soccer field, suit up grab shotgun and climb fence, and hunt.
Most the kids saw me, no one panicked, no one was shot, all was good. But than again, this was before 9/11
How times have changed, for the worst.

School property shall be defined by adequate signage of proper size and wording and where practical painted markings on pavement.

This is Jack's mother and I would like to thank you for your feedback and support. I would also like to share my side of the story and how horrific I feel that the PA system is.
My son is diagnosed with Aspergers, ADHD, and an undefined mood disorder. He is in no way a threat to this community. Jack's passion is hunting and boxing. He loves small game. One day he refused to go to school and unknowingly, he went rabbit hunting on the property behind our house. Unfortunately, he did not realize what he was doing behind the chain link fence of the public school. When we was apprehended by the police, he indicated that he was "hunting for lunch" which does not sound like an odd response considering my child.

I called the police department and the officer that held him that day spoke to me and understood the circumstances. He refrained from sending him to Central Booking and I picked him up explaining the errors and the repercussions of his actions. The officer informed me he would receive paperwork in the mail explaining what needs to be done for fingerprinting, etc. Jack came home humbled and understood what he had done. The rest is history...

The following week (7 days later) the Shrewsbury Regional Police showed up at the door to arrest him. He spent 1 wk in PRISON before the judge requested a hearing on this case. It was decided he would remain with me on GPS monitoring and go to River Rock Academy until Graduation (18 yrs of age).

Wk 1 of Probation:
The GPS monitor broke. After numerous attempts to fix it I was told that Jack broke it and I had to bring him in to replace it. Who is paying for this? Me.
Wed, 2/28 was Jack's first day at River Rock. He gets up at 6:30 and ready when the van comes but is sick to his stomach about going to a Juvi facility and refuses (ODD).

Thu 3/1 - Jack finally goes back to school and I inform Vigelnet that I will be in Friday to replace Jack's ankle bracelet and he'll be signing his bond papers.

Fri 3/2 - I call Vigelnet to let them know Jack is coming in to replace his GPS bracelet. I call River Rock Academy to let them know I am picking Jack up from school to replace his bracelet, sign his bond papers and hopefully contact the lawyer to meet with him again.

45 mins before I am to pick him up from school, the school calls me to tell me that the police have picked him up for violating his parole.

- Jack's anxiety and sick to attend River Rock 2/28
- Got over his anxiety because he wanted to follow the rules 3/1 and 3/2
- 1 wk of a failed GPS system
- Back in Prison 3/2. Might I add, when the police came to SCHOOL to obtain him, they said "Your Mother is here to get you"...that makes me sick.

I am going to fight for my child. He does not belong in this sick corrupt system. You will see me all over PA, Please Please support me because I plan on taking the region down.

Reading your post honestly makes me feel bad for your son here. You sound like a pretty irresponsible parent with a "poor me" attitude. Just a few comments on your post:

"One day he refused to go to school and unknowingly, he went rabbit hunting on the property behind our house."

Are you kidding me? Since when do kids get to refuse to go to school? When exactly did children get the option of telling their parents what they will and won't do?

To add to that why does your "Special needs" son have access to a pellet gun let alone giving him free access to it? Knowing that a school is relatively close makes it that much worse.

"The GPS monitor broke. After numerous attempts to fix it I was told that Jack broke it and I had to bring him in to replace it. Who is paying for this? Me."

Who would you expect to pay for it? Things don't magically break so yes, it's your responsibility. Just like it's your responsibility to make sure your kid isn't randomly walking off with a pellet gun near a school to "Hunt" for lunch. Make no mistake about it, it's your fault that your son is even in the situation he's in now.

This is a 7 year old thread. Move on.

Any recent developments? Seems strange to "randomly" pop in to reply 7 years later.
Googling the son's name to see if it's online somewhere - for some reason?

Looks like he pled to 2 counts of M3 disorderly conduct and was sentenced to 12 months probation for each (assumed to run concurrently). Even if consecutive, it should be long complete and his name doesn't pop as a current PA inmate when searching today.
