The mother should have been charged too. Absurdly neglectful, dysfunctional parents, the both of them.

So a school adminstrator is testifying now that the school sent emails, made phone calls, and sent certified letters in relation to school absences to both parents and no response. Wow.

Edited to add - Sounds like when he finally made himself available to the school there were several meetings/contact between the school and the defendant to discuss setting Colt up for success.

People go to jail for their children’s truancy! Yet Colt missed a full year of school and he didn’t even have to “repeat” the grade.

The school seems ON TOP OF IT though. It's nice to hear how persistent the school was in trying to help Colt. I didn't know they allowed him to pass the grade with so many absences. I edited my post by the way to be fair to the defendant - it sounds like he did meet with the school several times and he asked them to address the sporadic instances of bullying, which the school did.
