Broken... 365-81

march 22
Many things were broken today...
including my mommy heart..

today.. my son was attacked in his classroom..
by another student. while sitting on the floor..
while the teacher was in the room..
we have been a mix of emotions.. all of us..
shocked.. and down right pissed.

unfortunately. if you are under the age of 15 in Norway..
you can't really get into trouble..
the max. punishment ?
3 days at home..  OUCH.. 
I am sure.. that 3 days at home .. playing on your iPhone & PlayStation
must be pretty PAINFUL..

this isn't the first time the child has been sent home for being violent..
but he had never broke a bone.. ahem..
keep you posted..

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is
added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thank you!

This is just sad. A complaint to Barnevernskontoret perhaps so they can do some checking?

Hope your son comes through this in a good way.

I'm so sorry this happened to Dane! He seems like such a good-hearted young man! I hope the teacher is reprimanded for letting this happen in her presence! Here (TX) the attacker probably would have been kicked out of school for the rest of the year.

I'm so sorry this is happening! I hope the teacher and the principle are taking steps to protect your son and others from the violent student. I'm assuming the child's parents have been notified. I hope they are planning to take their kid to some therapy sessions/anger mgmt. type classes or something. I hope they are doing something!!! I wish there was something I could do. <3

Oh gosh - this is awful! And with the laid-back Scandinavian attitude you really have to fight to get something done.

Child services absolutely needs to get involved - the kid is out of hand.

I feel awful for you guys! Hugs.

Hello again, just stopping by after a month of Sundays!
You know what? I've worked for years in an elementary school here in the states, and never before have I witnessed the kind of violence that I have this year.
Kids as young as Kindergarten, 5 years old, physically abusing other students and teachers!!! And you what the punishment is? They go to the office, get a whole bunch of attention for being naughty, sometimes a call home, and then they are sent back to class.
Our little school has at least 16 children that are red flagged as violent, VIOLENT!
You know all the school shootings we've been having? If something isn't done to help these kids, there will be hell to pay.
So sorry your son had this experience, bad things happen to good people, and bad people get away with it :(

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
