DS said ‘I need to tell you something but you must promise not to tell the school’ .
Today during class, two boys ‘Z’ and ‘X’ were jesting around, posturing/showing off trying to establish a pecking order. My DS is not friends with, but sits next to child Z.
Child X said I’ve got year 11 friends who can sort you out’ to child Z. Then Z said ‘well I know people in these circles so you can’t touch me’ and proceeded to show X and my DS a video of himself with lots of bags of weed lined up on a table wrapped in cling film and was saying to the camera, this one is x grams, this one x grams etc. like a sales video . (To be clear - Z was in the video talking to the camera) Z told my DS , he was going to save up to buy a ‘scaler’ something along those lines, DS not sure what drug paraphernalia looks like or names for it. DS said how much is one of those and what’s it for . Z said ‘it’s a machine to roll joints with’. They are 12.
DS has begged me not to tell the school as apparently only himself, child X and another person have been shown this video. DS is scared it could be traced back to him telling someone.
What should I do with this information? I mean, I know what I should do, but I don’t know that I can trust the school to handle
this properly and protect my DS .
DS has had trouble in the past from tough kids at this school, I raised concerns and DS said it caused him some problems, ended up with a smack in the mouth. ( inner city school that has its fair share of issues).
can’t help but think it’s county lines. Obv told DS to stay away from this kid.
