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.

1. This is crazy

It seems that school administrators have lost their minds. Expell the kid and then deal with the consequences. The kid is a menace.

2. He's just an excitable boy

Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said

He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

3. 35 arrests = how many convictions?

It doesn't say. And doesn't say what he was arrested for. For all we know he could have been arrested for truancy 35x.

4. It says they were felony arrests

I doubt that truancy is considered a felony.

5. You know they just HAD to include a photo of this kid

Run away........
