Parents Question Why 14 Year Old Student With 35 Arrests Is Still Allowed In School
Advertisements [?]
<snip>

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A 14-year-old with almost three dozen arrests, including one Tuesday, will head back to his middle school classroom.

Darious Williams has 35 felony arrests. Because of his status as a special needs student at Wolf Lake Middle School, he keeps coming back to the classroom.

Parents wonder when enough will be enough.

"He should be in a school for felons. We can pick our choices but not our consequences. Why should all the good kids be punished," said Christina Kirkland, a parent.

Channel 9 researched the situation and found that unless he brings a gun to school, Orange County can't expel him.
