Forums - General - 13 year-old strip searched at school?

I don't know about jailed. They were being overzealous; they weren't molesting her.

Still, what they did was pretty damn stupid and unwarranted.

So we should allow kids to carry drugs to school?

And they wonder why this generation is out of control.......

Let it be a lesson to the little punk showing what that could lead to.

 You either didn't read the article, or you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. "Prescription strength" ibprofen is the most misleading title I can ever imagine. The difference between the pills in question and the pills you buy in the store is next to nothing. In fact, if you take two ibprofen you are getting the exact same effect as one of the prescription strength pills. Amazing ain't it?

 This was entirely uncalled for. An 8th grader having an over the counter NSAID is not a problem. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Hell I could come up with a dozen legitimate reasons for her to have it on her person. The ploicy is stupid, and the vice-principle went way too far to try and enforce it. I went into this thread thinking it could be ok depending on the circumstance, but this is just stupid.

And nobody questioned something if f***ed up... 3 adults involved here.

That shit's been old news since the Milgram experiment


But seriously, yeah. I immediately noticed that as well... gotta wonder how that went down.



It is not the place for untrained school officials to conduct such an investigation. They should have contacted their local law enforcement agency and turned this over to them. This school should have a hell of a lawsuit on it's hands. I don't like the thought of this at all.

There's always 1 in million that will ruin everything for the rest.

Imagine the rage if she's your daughter...



A girl here in Ky won a million dollars after she was strip searched by her managers at McDonald's following a prank call.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

The most disturbing thing about this thread is that at least five people enered because they were turned on by the thread title..... sick bastards.

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

Considering the way our society is and the fact that a strip search would be absolutely humiliating...

No, just no. Seriously, Ibuprofen? Thats just absurd.

Heh, when I was in HS and they were searching everyones backpacks they would actually skip over me saying "nah we know you're good".

I don't know. This isn't as black and white as some of you are playing it out to be.

1. Drugs, regardless of what it is, has far higher consequences within school boundaries.

2. She was searched by all females.

3. She had no priors thus, there should have been some doubt in the accusations. But, that doesn't necessarily make it illegal, just unthoughtful.

I have 3 kids and I would like to feel that school is absolutely as safe as my own home. Thus if some punk kid drug user/weapon handler has to be stripped searched to remove items that could harm my kids, so be it. Then remove them from the school.

Better discretion for the particular individual in mind would be in order. Someone who is an honor student with no record of any behavior issues should probably be given the benefit of doubt.

Maybe the other girl should have been searched as well. Especially if she already has a behavior history.

Now, on the other had if any of my kids were stripped searched without my knowing and being present I would be furious. So, in the end she was a minor and the school is probably overstepping their abilities.

Yeah, my last paragraph is where I would stay. If my child was really considered to be a danger that a strip search was in order, I better be notified so I can be present, or my wife for that matter. But, there better be some good damn evidence.

 

While you are right the school should protect the students from drugs but it should be a matter of what the drug is ibuprofen is not going to make anyone high or wig-out.

Frankly, ibuprofen shouldn't even be on a school's list of drugs period since like it has been said in this thread, prescription ibup is the same strength of taking two Advil pills.
