The Treadway's

I have a prayer request. Last week at school one of my students, Bryce, told another teacher and some students he was going to bring a gun to school and shoot me/stab me...so he won't be back anymore. We've had meetings with his mom and stepdad to no avail. I can tell you he doesn't come from a very good living situation. I think he is in need of a lot of attention and nurturing. The whole situation has been a total disaster since Thursday, and today when his mom picked him up she informed my principal that she is sending him to a long-term institution instead of alternative school, I believe. He was in alternative before, and his mom has called the cops several times this year because he has become violent with her. He has other siblings and they are all in different places. I still don't understand how 2 parents could be afraid of a 13-year old. He is very troubled and heavy on my heart. I don't know if there is anything else I could have done for him but when he didn't get what he wanted he would throw a fit, curse at me, yell, told me I was a terrible teacher, and that I ran my mouth too much, and on and on...I was trying to give him what I thought he needed, a little discipline in his life. Just keep him and his family in your prayers for me.
