‘I Love Alex’ earns girl 4-month suspension
The Associated Press

KATY, Texas - Writing “I love Alex” on a school gymnasium wall brought a 12-year-old the same punishment as if she had made terrorist threats.

The Katy Independent School District rated the message, written with a baby blue marker by sixth-grader Shelby Sendelbach, as a Level 4 infraction — the same as for threats, drug possession and assault.

Only murder, gun possession, sexual assault and arson are considered more severe by the suburban Houston district.

For her punishment, Shelby was assigned to an alternative school from Aug. 27 through Dec. 21.

Just following the rules
School district spokesman Steve Stanford said the district was just following a state law, saying it requires assignment to an alternative school for graffiti.

Her parents have appealed and a hearing is set for this month. Lisa and Stu Sendelbach said they don’t condone what Shelby did but think the punishment is overly harsh.

“We are shocked that the school district rules as they are written make no distinction between what Shelby is accused of and what a gang member does with a can of black spray paint,” Stu Sendelbach said.


That is crazy.  Whatever happend to making people wash the walls?  Its getting out of hand.

Well then:  Sandy need to step up to the plate and denouce Isabelle Zehnder and CACICA and Sue Scheff and PURE by name.  NOT simply say she is against "anyone who refers to programs."Why?  Because Isabelle Zehnder denies to this day that she refers children and their parents to programs.It is a play with words.

Sandy continues to support Isabelle Zehnder, and you are being played for a fool, Psy.

Guest, it's not gonna happen.

Smart as psy is - he seems to have taken the middle road which is never wise in a game with the stakes as high as this one is.

I'm hoping he's just had a long day ... tomorrow he may see things more clearer.

Sleep well psy.  You are one of the good guys but I fear that soft spot is your archilles heel.  Buck up buddy!


I don't think Psy has an issue with being a softy.  He is mature and patient.  If Sandy does have an agenda.. it will come out in time.  I do have one question for Sandy...   why do you and Isabelle Zehnder write "love" or "love you" in your salutation?  Is Isabelle Zehnder a relative or old friend?  I know you said she was already in the picture.. but, I found it odd you would sign your letters with "love". Please don't receive this as a menacing question... I am truely curious.

If you take a look at a historial document by Abe Lincoln, The Emancipation Proclamation.  You will find the "E" is used in the same backward "3" style.  

I am interested.. 'guest'.  What are your qualifications that allow you to give specific instructions on the proper use of penmanship?

Facility Question and Answers / Clint Eastwood Youth Program at Community Hospital Monterey
« on: June 28, 2007, 08:57:35 PM »
This appears to be the kind of program that people are talking about .. when they say reach out to your community rather than send your kid to some cult like program.  However, I have not visited the facility myself.  
The facility is actually a hospital-  ER, Surgery Center .. etc...  California is an at will state.  Meaning that anyone (even youth) can not be held in a treatment center against their will.  Also.. please note one of the requirements that is listed on the community hospital website.  

Any teenager in need of professional help with their problems and willing to work with treatment staff, family, and friends toward a resolution.  

I'll see if I can get more information on the actual therapeutic approach.
