There also needs to be school reform. This is a K-8 school? In what minds in Florida and Miami-Dade think it is appropriate for a 14 year old to be in the same school building as a 5 year old? From a developmental standpoint that is woefully inappropriate.

My kid is at a school where you have elementary and middle school in same building, hallways etc

Juvenile Court is about counseling and helping .. there is no guilty finding, there is no punishment. I worked on Juvie cases as a clerk and the courts/staff go way out of their way to help but some kids are just unhelpable
