  Case: Manipulative Student
I have a student who went through some trouble at home in the past. He is very manipulative and deceitful when it comes to behavior. He will say vulgar things all the time, steal, bring weapons to school, and hurt other students. Whenever he is confronted about it, he begins crying and saying it is because of family problems. He claims other students are making fun of him and bullying him because of these issues, but I know for a fact that the students he is targeting have no idea of his past home situation. I have referred him to the counselor and administration, but they all come back and say he is just very upset about his home life. I will sit in on these meetings, however, and when the principal or counselor looks away, he will stop crying and smile and wink at me. When they turn back around, he begins crying again. He is to the point now where he is found torturing small animals and insects at recess. Everyone above me attributes it to his emotional problems. What can I do to solve this before someone is really endangered?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Be sure to document all of these issues and present the data to administration. You may want to look into child services if there is nothing being done at home about these situations. If the child is not in the RTI process, start that now so you can begin the road to psychological testing, which may show his true issues.

Comments: Being able to go to the administration with documentation will give you a better opportunity for them to take you seriously about what's happening. They will be able to visibly see what has been going on, and it may cause them to observe the student when they don't think anyone is paying attention at recess. RTI is definitely a good idea for this student so they can be monitored.
