That advice can apply for elementary & h.s., too. A family in our town just had to get the county prosecutor involved in a schoolyard problem. A chronic offending type kid actually BIT OFF THEIR SON’S EARLOBE in a football game during recess. Hospital stay & plastic surgery were required. The school classified it as an “accident” & the victim returned to school & had to have his attacker sitting in the same classroom. </p>
<p>Your son has learned a valuable lesson & you can now be glad that he is moving on with a “safe” new roommate. The thief roommate is a disturbed young man. I used to think rooming with someone you know would stiffle the urge to reach out & meet new people. But your story has me rethinking that position.</p>
