[quote=Anonymous]It is my understanding from having a child with SNs (who is not an eloper) that school staff cannot physically stop a child from leaving, and if the child gets to the property line, cannot follow the child beyond that point. This happens more often than you might think or hope, and has definitely happened at most schools, although you would not have heard about it.

So, if we want to focus just on the elopement, schools are going to need more staff and better policies because law enforcement is always going to be involved under the current policy.

Now, if we want to discuss police brutality (which is where I think we should focus our energies), if even half of what the complainant is alleging is true, the cops need to just throw money at the parents, as well as firing the officers involved.

There is zero excuse for physically and verbally abusing anyone, let alone a small child. There are no circumstances under which even a fraction of what is being described is appropriate.

Finally, the question of whether the school staff stood by and let this happen.

It is SCARY to stand up to the police. This is a constant struggle in my workplace (Emergency Department) and nurses and doctors often fail to protect their patients. But we need to do better, and so do school staff. [/quote]
