This early morning post to the AlbanySchools Group

I want to be clear the incidents with my son have for more than a week risen to the level of repeated, premeditated crime. It was teasing, then bullying for multiple years and now it is flat out crime and "organized" almost entirely using Facebook, mobile phones, texts and emails -- both at school and at home.

As a Christian, I think everyone is given the opportunity to be saved but a penitent heart is required before reconciliation and salvation.

We can all say isn't it a shame that people end up and prison and more could have been done and miss the victim entirely. Both my mother and one of my sisters worked for years on educating prisoners and helping their families. However, both have clearly said to me -- there is a reason for prison and even working within the system for change -- there are definitely people who should be in there. I'm no fan of a California's prison system vs. education -- but interventions need to take place early and sometimes it takes being hit by the sword of justice to open offenders eyes to their choices/responsibilities so that they can be reformed.

I leave it up to the police and prosecutors with media scrutiny to decide where the lines are and unless there is some travesty -- I won't have to move forward with civil lawsuits on top of the restraining orders to get parents to control their children.

Raising a young black male who is growing up in the "urban" culture is challenging for a number of reasons - but when that child reaches about 13 years old they are no longer cute and this type of behavior if not stopped is a potential death sentence. I had Tupac volunteer with McCollum Youth Court earlier this year for his 8th grade service project to see what happens when kids start making the wrong choices.

Tonight, Tupac had multiple telephone death threats and further harassing calls that are now being traced by the police. There were additional veiled and not so veiled threats posted online almost simultaneously and the police responded properly to investigate these.

Unfortunately, it was reported to our family by multiple people that the AHS students involved in this continuing series of incidents were AGAIN on AMS school property Thursday afternoon defying school district orders that they are not to be there. Tupac was still recovering from an unrelated asthma attack so he was not in school on Thursday. These kids tried to enlist other AUSD students to be lookouts and to tell them where Tupac was so that they could attack him.

Tonight part of this core group has been using Facebook to organize another attack for tomorrow and vandalism at our home to further the intimidation. Other "nice" AMS and AHS students are cheering these kids on which only seems to increase their boldness. Luckily another growing group of students and their parents are now forwarding the illegal activity to the police department directly as well as contacting me.

I have not posted too many kid quotations directly on this site -- but know I and Tupac have both previously been targeted with Hate Speech and specific threats of violence even after the start of the police investigation. You can find the gory details on my blog: http://safecommunity4albany.blogspot.com
