My kid is getting shafted

[anonymous]

So everyone around is hauled into the office one by one.

B is known for violence and lying and general craftiness and two-facedness, A is not (although A lies like nobody's business, but is not known for it, yet....).

B says "A just started beating on this kid and i was trying to pull A off" lunch supervisor's Incident Report said B was seen kicking the crap out of C. And does not mention A at all

A says, I wasn't involved. And then, well I was but i didn't mean to be. and then it gets fuzzy, and apparently A eventually admits to hitting C. C ended up with a bloody nose.

but B never changes his story, even though the principal says "I don't believe you" and the incident report only mentions B kicking and hitting C and doesn't mention A at all (how can B hurting C ever be interpreted as B pulling A off C?)

Anyway, apparently, eventually, it is decided that the closest to the truth that can be ascertained is that A hit C in an unprovoked attack.

WTF?

But I was cornered by the principal on Friday afternoon and told that this had happened, A had admitted guilt and because it was out of character the punishment would just be an in-school suspension on Monday.

A little blindsided to say the least, principal offers to discuss firther on Mon if we want

We do. We go in, expecting to find at least both A and B on the in-school suspension ...but no, just A. -we find that out as we walk into school and are nearly bowled over by B running away from a kid b just pushed.
