You know that little thing...

So, update from yesterday.  I waited until a bit after 1:00 p.m. to call the supervisor of the camps that the boys are attending to see what progress had been made with the "Legal Department."  Kathy, who by the way has been very kind and professional in dealing with all of this, explained that the attorney who she usually works with is "leaving town," and will "handle it when he gets back."  (This is Jaden's Epi-pen issue I'm talking about here.)  I explained to Kathy, that this solution just wasn't acceptable to me, as this was something that was fairly urgent in my mind as my children were in camp THIS week, and that the City's attorneys should be reviewing their policies as we speak.  I explained that since said attorney had to go out of town, I would just go ahead and file my complaint with the Department of Justice and we could go from there.  I explained that I wasn't seeking any money, or asking the City to pay for anything.  Quite the contrary.  I only wanted the City to train (I've offered to train the city's employees free of charge) and allow their employees to administer medications such as epinephrine to children should it become necessary (God forbid).  Kathy said she'd try and get another attorney to work on it, and stated that the City Council was meeting tonight.  With that I told her that I would hold off on filing my complaint with the DOJ.  I explained that I am also a tax paying citizen of this city and my fear is that at some point they will have a child (hopefully not mine) who needs an Epi-pen, and is unable to administer it themselves, and then the City will have a lawsuit on their hands.  Kathy has been very understanding in all of this...geez...middle management must suck.
I decided then to email on of our city council members since they were meeting tonight.  I also called the city secretary and told her what was going on (she also thought this whole thing was ludicrous) and suggested I cc my email to the city attorney, which I did.  She also put me on the "Citizen Concerns" list to take my concern before the city council next Tuesday night. 
So, if this is not resolved before Tuesday night, Steve and I will be taking our cause to the City Council.  Hopefully, they will see how ridiculous this is and just train their people.
As for my children, well they're still loving camp.  J said some of the bigger kids bullied him today, but I explained that he's going to have to deal with bullying in his life and we discussed how to handle that.  I did call Kathy and ask her to let her staff know that I would be asking them not to separate my children any more.  Apparently they get separated in line etc. and if Bailey is going to be responsible for giving Jaden his Epi-pen should he need it, well, then they can't separate my children.
Overall, another great day for the boys!!!  Next week...OMA AND OPA'S HOUSE!!!  The boys started packing and planning tonight!!!
