Mom gets apology from principal who didn't want her to take depressed son from school.

You'd take time off from school or work for a longterm physical illness, right? So why wouldn't you do the same for mental health? A woman on Twitter is sharing the story of how her mom went against the Principal's wishes when she took her brother out of school for a month to work on his mental health.

Twitter user Titi opened up about how her brother was struggling with depression in the third grade and when their mother told her son's teachers and principal that she wanted to pull him from school to help him work on his health, the school did not support their mom.

The school only reiterated how he'd fall behind a grade if she took her son out of school.

"MY son is not okay. I don’t care if he gets expelled. He is DEPRESSED," the boy's mom told his educators.
