I am sure it was a frustrating weekend for the op, however all she has is her 12 year old boy's story. 35 replies of speculation to limited information doesn't do anything. The op must work within the school system to garner all the factual information she can. Perhaps the principal (it's not principle) and/or the school system is doing what they should be doing, not jumping to conclusions, rather conducting an investigation. I am sure the op will have more information on Monday.
