  I've recently been informed that some [unwelcome] persons may be privy to the thoughts on this blog.
All the better for me, because now I know who my audience is. If you are one of the persons who shares the same last name [not to mention half of the same genes and a common roof] with one of my dearest friends, I have a thought for you! Yes, don't you feel special. My thoughts: Do not think that you can take everything away so easily. You can try to take away his friends, his school, everything that matters to him, but he has memory and a resilient spirit. He will know when he is a father what his father did to him. It will stay with him and haunt him for the rest of his life, unless he becomes hardened to the world and feels nothing from this point forward.
I do not think you want that. You cannot simply take his hope and happiness away and expect to subjugate him to your command. Do you seriously expect to brainwash your child just by sending him to another school? What if the same thing happens there? You are the single greatest influence on your son. He looks up to you as a model of what he aspires to be.
Maybe he is losing that respect now, but you still continue to shape him. Think twice before you decide to scar him for life. Your rash choices will play themselves out and the consequences unfold... do not expect the very best at the end. I will personally see to it that whatever wrongs done be redressed and everyone gets a fair share of what they deserve.
