This is insane.
Your son tore my daughter's fingernails off,
tore them clear off.
She had to go to the emergency room,
her hands were bleeding so badly.
I just don't understand why he would do something...
"Because I felt like it."
That's what he told Stacy.
He's just never been a violent or cruel...
I hear the stories.
I hear about the things he makes the other kids do,
all in the name of being in the cool clique.
Mrs. withers, what about Andy's side of the story?
I mean, who's to say he wasn't provoked at some point?
Are you suggesting that this is Stacy's fault?
Conflicts like these between hotheaded teenagers...
Stacy is on her way to being valedictorian at this school.
I would hardly call her...
are often very complicated situations.
It's just not as black-and-white as you're describing it.
I am at a loss.
He should be suspended from school or expelled.
What are you suggesting we do?
I think it would be helpful if Stacy...
Takes a break from school,
vacation, if you will, until the dust settles.
You can expect a call from our lawyer later this afternoon.
You've always been decent to our family, Cora,
but your son needs real help.
And if you can't see that,
apparently so do you.
