Cirlce Justice Sprit Bear book

Cole brutally beat up this kid at his high school named Peter. Why did Cole do this, because Peter snitched on Cole for breaking in a hardware store and vandalizing it. Cole's punishment was to go to this Circle Justice class for troubled kids that can help you sort out your problems and talk about them. He had to bring his parents and Peter had to bring his mother. Cole doesn't like his mother or father because behind closed doors Cole gets abused by his father and his mother doesn't do anything. Our group has a feeling that she gets beat by Cole's father so she backs off and says "honey what are you doing?" His father looks at the mother and says "stay out of this" and she walks away. His father is an alcoholic and can't control his drinking. I really think it was a great idea to send Cole to a stranded island all by himself, instead of Juvinial Detention. Cole would beat up other kids because he doesn't let anyone boss him around and tell him what to do. I think that it was a stupid idea for Cole to trying to get away from the island. He doesn't live in Alaska, he lives in Minnesota and that's a lot of swimming if he trying to get away.
