Law and Order: SVU Imagines and Preferences

How they react when your kid gets in trouble at school

Rafael Barba:
When the principal calls, Rafael's jaw tightens, and you can see the lawyer in him spring to life. As you both arrive at the school, he remains composed, but his green eyes flash with determination. "Gabriel, you know better than this," he says, his tone firm but not unkind. After hearing out the teacher, Rafael turns to your son. "We'll discuss this more at home, but I expect you to apologize and make this right." Later, in private, Rafael reassures you, "We'll handle this together, cariño. It's just a bump in the road."

Sonny Carisi:
Sonny's brows furrow in concern when he hears that your daughter, Sofia, is in trouble at school. He's quick to leave work, reassuring you on the way there, "Babe, let's hear her out first, okay?" At the school, Sonny kneels down to Sofia's level, his voice gentle but serious. "Sofia, sweetheart, what happened? You know you can always talk to us." After understanding the situation, Sonny nods thoughtfully, "We'll figure this out, and you'll make amends. But remember, we're here to help you, not just scold you."

Olivia Benson:
Olivia's protective instincts kick in immediately when she gets the call about your son, Noah, getting in trouble. She takes a deep breath, her voice calm but with a hint of worry. "We'll get through this, together," she tells you, squeezing your hand. At the school, Olivia listens carefully to the situation before addressing Noah. "Noah, I need you to be honest with me. What happened?" Her tone is gentle, but her eyes show she's serious. Afterward, she assures both you and Noah, "We all make mistakes, but it's how we fix them that matters."

Amanda Rollins:
Amanda can't help but let out a small sigh when she hears that your daughter, Billie, is in trouble, but there's a mix of frustration and concern in her eyes. "I'll deal with this," she mutters, grabbing her keys. At the school, Amanda's southern charm is still present, but her tone is firm. "Billie, what's going on? You're better than this." After hearing the full story, Amanda's voice softens slightly as she says, "You've gotta make it right, Billie. And next time, remember that we're here for you, no matter what." Later, Amanda reassures you, "She'll be fine. Just needs a little guidance."

Elliot Stabler:
Elliot paces the living room, his jaw clenched as he processes the call from the school. "Anthony did what?" he says, his voice a mix of disbelief and frustration. When you explain that Anthony got into a fight defending a friend, Elliot's expression softens slightly. "I get it," he sighs, sitting down beside you. "But he needs to know there's a line between right and wrong. I'll talk to him." He ruffles Anthony's hair when he walks in, pulling him into a hug. "You're a good kid, Ant. But you can't go around fighting. We'll figure out better ways to handle this, okay?"

John Munch:
John rubs his temples as he listens to the principal's voice on the phone. "Henry got caught skipping class?" he repeats, his voice tinged with exasperation and disbelief. When you sit down with him to talk it over, he sighs deeply. "That kid's too smart for his own good," John mutters. When Henry walks in, John gives him a stern look over his glasses. "You're too young to be pulling this kind of stunt. What were you thinking? You can be clever without being reckless. Now, let's figure out how to make this right."

Fin Tutuola:
When Fin hears that Lucas was caught skipping class, he's not surprised. "Kid's got a bit of my rebellious streak," he says with a smirk. But his tone turns serious when he sits Lucas down. "You can't just walk out when things get tough. That's not how we do things." His voice softens as he continues, "I get it, though. We all need a break sometimes. Just talk to us next time, alright?" He pulls you into a side hug afterward, whispering, "We'll get through to him."

Nick Amaro:
Nick's brow furrows when you tell him that your son, Mateo, got in trouble at school. "What did he do?" he asks, a hint of frustration in his voice. After hearing you out, he sighs deeply. "I thought we were past this kind of behavior," he says, shaking his head. But then he softens, glancing at you. "I'll handle it. He just needs to understand the consequences." Later, he sits down with Mateo, his tone firm but loving. "Mateo, you know this isn't acceptable. Tell me what's going on, and we'll figure this out together."
