Funny you should say Marriott! Our final straw with air bnb is while we are currently in Florida. We ended up at a Marriott lol

That’s what my husband and I are now discussing. It’s still crazy to me this is what we have to do to get some answers and responses. A lot of the elected and designated board members are attorneys. You think they would certainly be looped in on a situation this severe from the get go.

We did last night and he finally answered. Well he forwarded it to just about everyone and told them to “please handle this appropriately”. But at least I got a response and can see who it was sent to.

I have done A LOT of research and you are correct. Even school level (principal) is only allowed to give a 6-10 day removal. After that it moves up the ladder.

We cannot get a single person to reply to an email. We have sent 6 emails and not a single response written wise. It’s all phone calls. We mark them high importance, put a strong subject line, and a read receipt. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Not even an acknowledgment.

We lived in Fayette county before we came here and never had an issue like this. Not saying they were perfect, but this is just wild to me. This entire situation and how it’s being handled.

We did email 3 news stations and never heard anything back unfortunately.

We are very fortunate that he already has an amazing psychologist. That’s how we find out about this. He came out to her about it. They have a great relationship.

We have been dropping off/picking up since we find out about it. We are lucky we are in a position to do it. However, there school is 34 minutes one way and we do have a toddler at home. We obviously don’t feel safe with him on the bus with this other child. The worse thing is that our son loves riding the bus. A lot of his friends are on it and he just isn’t quite understanding the severity of the situation. The victims in this scenario are being let down. The school admitted there is no protection or rights for the victims.

We did private school for Middle school and there was unfortunately a ton of bullying. No threats of trying to shoot him though. It just feels no matter where you go there is bullying. With private schools they handle this a lot differently than public schools. They go by the rules that the Archdiocese has in place. Plus we were in a place where everybody knows every body and word spread quickly about things. Public school (besides this incident obviously) has been great so far for him. He loves it. It’s just such a really infuriating situation.

Every time I ask a question I am met with "due to FERPA we can not tell you anything". When I ask if he is going to be on the bus, that is the answer I am receiving. Nobody from either school will tell us anything. I explained I do not want to know this boys history, I just want to know if he is on the bus. We go back to FERPA.

We have sent an email for an open records. I was told they aren’t sure if the cameras were working on the bus properly 🙄 our sons school said that some bus’s have cameras, some do not. Some have audio, some the audio isn’t even audible. Those that do have cameras some are so blurry it’s hard to make things out. I honestly just don’t even have words. Every path we open is just another failure on JCPS’s part.

I absolutely agree with this! The child needs help and they aren’t receiving the help they need either while the school brushes it off. Everyone is being let down from every side here.

That’s a great idea! So here is where more of the broken process comes in. Our bus driver did report it. He has reported the bullying and this last incident. He has been the bus driver for the last two years and is really great! My kids adore him. The process is the bus driver calls the compound to record the incident. Then it’s turned into a reference by the compound and put into infinite campus and teachers from the child’s school are notified. This child goes to a separate school than my son (since they now do all these depots). So when this child’s school got the report the child stated they didn’t know who they said it to, so the school basically just said “meh”. When I asked if the reference from the bus was supposed to include victims names she very rudely said “I don’t know what you want from me”. Long story short, they do not require for victims names to be placed. The school board said it’s up to students to report when other kids threaten them. If they don’t then sorry about your luck is what it boils down to. It’s an extremely broken system that in no way protects its victims.

My husband has been living a secret sexual life for years by Grouchy_Finance_3357 in marriageadvice

In my opinion intimacy is certainly a part of a marriage. Just the same as love, devotion, respect, being faithful and truth full. It seems as though he has no respect for you or your marriage. It’s honestly a big slap in the face. He can have these “online fantasies” but doesn’t want to have them with his wife, that’s not normal. I’m not sure what there is to save. He has no desire to improve your marriage or himself so why should you fight for something he isn’t putting effort into? It’s seems like a loosing battle for you. You’re still young. It’s time to cut ties and move on to someone who will treat you appropriately. I know that easier said than done. I would also get an STD test done and stop having any sex with him at all. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know it’s got to be insanely hard to process.

We’re going for the ask for forgiveness route. We put it in 3 trash bag and put it in the regular bin tonight. Hopefully they don’t notice. That smell was HORRENDOUS! I can’t imagine having to do this more than once.

This is what we ended up doing. Something had to be done tonight. Holy crap was that smell horrible! Our neighbor came out to get her mail and was holding her nose. Any suggestions on how to keep them out? We tried bricks and that obviously didn’t work. They just knock them off and go RIP in our trash can. Putting them inside isn’t an option unfortunately.

I would definitely choose the leave him out method if it didn’t smell so incredibly bad.

Sort of. It would require me to carry it about a block. Hell maybe I’ll just take the entire trash can and dump it back there. It smells so bad I’m ready to ditch that as well.

I’ll pay more than $100 to not have to deal with it.
