Houston County Ga. Bd. of Ed. Gone Crazy: Arrests Mom of Boy Abused at School for Not Sending Kid Back!

In what can only be described as government officials drunk on their own power, a mother has been arrested and had to post a $1,000.00 bond in order to obtain her freedom for violating the state's truancy law. Her son, a seven year old boy with autism, was tormented by his school bus driver and other kids on the school bus and was returned home with unexplained bruises. The mother requested time to reintroduce her child back to school, and had also applied to homeschool the boy, but had received no response from the school on the application even though the boy's physician said he was suffering post-traumatic stess disorder as a result of the abuse suffered at school and would be better off at home.

The mother has also filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education who is looking into the matter.

Please feel free to call and voice your outrage with the Houston County Georgia Board of Education at 1-478-988-6200
