In reading the story I've yet to see where the school interest comes into play. A monitor was called mean? A student talked about sex with another student?

 

This is a huge overstepping of boundaries by the school. If she threatened a child, cool. If she said she was going to kill a teacher,cool.

 

Sad case of an adult not knowing how to be a leader.

I hope they bring a lawsuit against the school for every penny they can get. Completely ridiculous course of action.

Ever? Let's say your child "goes off." Starts slinging books and computers at people, shoving teachers and other students, hitting, etc. How should the school respond?

 

What I'm saying is, if you have to bring the police in, you should be making one additional call to me so that I can be there as well. How intimidating would it be to be surrounded by school administration and law enforcement and not know what to do or what your rights are?

Extremely, I'm sure that's why she gave up her password so easily. Looks like this school has a law suit coming at them and rightfully so.

If ever my child's school brought law enforcement into the picture, they better have me present before they even look at my child. That being said, this sounds like a matter that should have been handled by the parents. There were no threats made; no immediate danger.

 

Let your child get caught with drugs and school and the first time you see them after the cops take over is at the jail. They wont call you to come to school to watch your little miss innocent get handcuffed and led away. They will call you and tell you to go pick them us at the jail. Same goes for threating someone, pickup at jail.

Well maybe now instead of acting so bad and trying to intimidate others, she gets a dose of her own medicine.

This was the way I understood the story as well. It sounds like some school administrators can't handle a little criticism from a 12-year-old which seems like a personal problem. She said I was mean? Who's the adult here?

Then as a service to parents we should all call the po po when our child acts out. Scare the bejezus out of them and then they'll all be good citizens.

It would be nice if it worked that way.

Certainly, I agree that a parent MUST be notified in the scenario that I mentioned. Let's say that you and your spouse are both at work 30 mins away. Do we wait until you can get there to call the police?

There are several factors that come into play, but a parent does not always have to be there when the police talk to a minor.

 

You may want to be there, and that's understandable. But that doesn't mean they are required to contact you.

I think this is a joke but it's hard to sense jokes sometimes on BGP. :lol: Sad thing is some people actually believe the police are there to help raise their kids.

Like I said before, several factors come into play but some kids are old enough and smart enough that they understand their rights (especially when they are read to them). In those cases a parent does not necessarily have to be present.

Btw my opinion on the matter is that the school doesn't really have a right to force anyone into giving up a password to a social media site unless there are exigent circumstances.

Under no circumstance, under no condition should anyone EVER have to surrend access to any private social media unless ordered to do so by a Court of Law.

Agree 100%!
