🧵 1/5 School sent an email today about an incident. My son refused to leave a situation where another peer (a friend) was escalated and hitting themselves. My son was reprimanded and will have consequences tomorrow at school.

At first I thought he’d been triggered and became escalated himself. But why punish him for that? Was it “unsafe?”
