If you keep this up, no-one in this entire world will have a single chicken.

There are people on this planet that want to own all the land ,then there's those who want to be the richest. Our Kelly wants every single chicken rooster and all the baby chick's in this entire world.

Don't bother thinking of what to buy her for a birthday present, or a even a Christmas present, just get a ruddy truck load of these feathered creatures, even then she'll want more

Hold on here, she has to share. Especially the roosters. One day, if I ever have a place that has no neighbors I will be without hens. Instead I will take in as many roosters as I can and give them the best life possible.

I never gave a update on how yesterday went. I am sorry I needed to take a minute to breath and calm down. I have been mad since Friday. Yesterday I was livid and the closet I have ever came to loosing it in my life. Having had overnight to think about it, I do not recognize this new me, and I do not like this new me. But if it what it takes to see that my daughter is protected so be it.

The dentist did NOTHING!! She needs a root canal and now I have to take her to Lexington Wednesday to have it done. I have to have her there at 7:30 am and we are 3 hours away. 4 hours in that office, and they do nothing. She did keep her out of school for the rest of this week.

We then went to the high school. Rosie has stated from day 1 that she did not like her principal. In all her years she has never once been sent to the principals office so she had no reason not to like him. I have chalked it up to teenage drama and told her she did not have to like him but respect him. No, he is flat out rude and I do not like him myself after 10 minutes. He would not answer any questions about the incident other then to say it was appropriately handled. Told her she should drop her AP Pre-calculus because she would get behind with missing a week. I snapped and told him no she was not as it was not her fault she was in this position. Brushed off the questions about the police report and said we would have to go to the county court house to get that information. He did not feel filing charges would be appropriate as she was a innocent by-stander and not the target. The UK Dental clinic I have to take her to does not take her insurance so just to sign in I have to have $125.00 up front plus additional charges. Informed him of this and how the school or the girls parents would be responsible. His reply, "Good Luck". I left his office fuming but was stopped by the guidance counselor who assured Rosie she did not have to drop any of her classes and the teachers would work with her.

After we left the school we found out "appropriate punishment" is 1 week suspension, that is it. The boys parents called us yesterday evening. They were treated the same way yesterday morning. Tried to shift blame onto him. We are meeting up today at the court house. Charges are being filed and someone is taking responsibility for this.

That's terrible! I can't imagine having the principal be such an a-hole to the injured student and her mom! I'm amazed you kept your temper. I'd have likely lost mine!

It became abundantly clear yesterday that loosing my temper is not the way to go about this. I need to have a calm cool head and it is not easy right now.

I am in uncharted territory right now. Personally I never was trouble in school after kindergarten. My brother and sister were never in any trouble. I have been blessed to say Rosie has never once been in trouble either. I have heard stories and rumors about the high school. I have heard it is a joke when trying to get any disciplinary action done. Rosie has told me the school has a nick name of "Fight Central".

What I want to do is go up there and loose it and call that principal everything under the sun. Rosie still has 2 more years there. For her sake I cannot do that to her.

I have thought about yanking her out and sending her to another one. I will not do that. As far as opportunities and the best classes offered, her high school is the best option and she is thriving. Pulling her out would just hurt her in the long run. If when she returns and they give her grief and do not help her get caught up, I will be at the school board with bells ringing.

I have also questioned to myself why on earth did the boy not fight back and defend himself. His parents asked him the same question and the answer hurts my soul. He said if he had pushed or hit her he would be in jail for assault because she is a girl. You know he is right. I have had to step back and evaluate my ways of thinking. I am a firm believer that a man should never hit a woman. But you know, if the tables are turned and a woman starts beating a man he should be able to defend himself without fear of being put in jail.

The school and principal, BY NAME, need to be included in the legal action. For apathy, if nothing else!

100%. As the parent of 3 boys, hitting girls wasn't acceptable. Starting a fight wasn't acceptable. Lay down and taking a beating wasn't acceptable.

1. Not allowed to start a fight (even verbally), but someone else swings first, FINISH it.

2. Girl starts swinging, no hitting back, but blocking, deflecting, and defending are perfectly acceptable. She uses a weapon, then hitting back (without weapons) is on the table.

3. Someone else is getting picked on: 1-1 stay out of it, 2+ - 1, feel free to step in and even the playing field, but be aware of the circumstances leading up to it.

I've also heard of zero tolerance policies so that even if you are defending yourself you still are in trouble because you were fighting, even if it was for your life.

That is appalling.
I suspect in the end you won’t get much joy via the courts, but I certainly don’t blame you for trying.
But the attitude of the Principal is totally unacceptable. WTH?
Does this kid have a history of issues? If so, the school may be liable for not keeping Rosie and the boy safe.
Poor you. Poor Rosie.
I really hope you can get someone to deal with her tooth and the pain ASAP.
