"The hidden secret that nobody wants to talk about."

Nothing like that here EZ. We have an outpatient counseling center that is overwhelmed with drug addicts mostly, but even teen sex offenders go to regular schools and attend "counseling" (if they can get a ride) And some of their victims are young.

Parents of good kids have no idea....

There is a wall of silence. That's why I was intrigued by the title.

Well, like I said, there is a waiting list. We do have some "alternative" schools too, but for someone like this boy, the only place he should have been is a mental hospital.

I taught at just such a school for several years.

It happens all the time. Teachers affectionately call them "ticking time bombs". In NJ, there is no expulsion, so there's no place else to send them unless the parents want them institutionalized. And here in S. Jersey, there is no detention center, so violent students are often "sentenced" to attend school. There is an alternative school where the staff is better trained in terms of restraint and what not, but even that placement needs parental approval.

In my grade school such kids were sent to "reform school" and were never seen again. In high school they were often put into our classes, where they soon acted out and were removed. Some were repeatedly placed in classes with the same result.
