  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!)
I would defiantly document the work and the situation. This will show that the student is obviously not doing well. The student may need a social worker to talk to about the home life. The administrators need to stop turning the other cheek if the situation is getting worse. I would talk to the admin, a social worker, behavioral specialist etc.
