Pennsylvania special education student charged with disorderly conduct for wetting pants
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Development/Milestones: Babies, Media, Day Care & Education
I never know pissing your pants could be grounds for an arrest for disorderly conduct, but apparently that's the case if you're a developmentally-disabled 12-year-old in Pennsylvania. A special education student in Montour County, Pennsylvania has officially been "charged with disorderly conduct" after school officials said she deliberately wet her pants at school. This is a case where the two sides have very different stories. The school claims that they are "at their wit's end" with the girl, who has apparently caused them multiple problems in the past. They have argued to the police that the girl deliberately wet her pants in order to get out of washing some dishes.The girl's mother has a different story. She agrees that her daughter refused to go to the school kitchen to wash pots and pans after preparing a ho0liday meal with her classmates, but claims her daughter pissed her pants because she feared the school's principal Kevin Duckwork. The girl's mother said she is terrified by Duckwork and has soiled her drawers during several other confrontations with him.

Heather said...I live in the area in which this happened and I can't believe it didn't make the local paper. (Montour County is a very small area) I would like to have the link to the source of the story. There have been other interesting things coming out of the school district lately.

rbiernesser said...i know that there are two sides to every story and we will most likely never know the real truth, but I can see the school's point in this.
I have a cousin with special needs and growing up he got special treatment just b/c of his problem. Even to the point that when we were all doing something wrong and got in trouble he was the only one who didn't. He could get away with poking another cousin with a fork and when he got pushed, nothing happened to him but the one getting poked got in a butt load of trouble, afterall he has special needs and didn't know what he was doing. He knew what he was doing.
I bet this girl has her mother wrapped and the school knows its. There was a reason why she didn't want to do dishes and it could just b/c she didn't want to and knew her mom would help her if she did something like wet her pants.
on the other hand...some schools are just filled with adults that like to bully children.
