[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If schools aren’t likely to do anything when a parent complains about legit violence, it’s safe to assume they won’t challenge you if you demand they return your kid’s phone. [/quote]

Well, that's not surprising since it's not the school's job to enforce assault laws; that would be MCPD and the courts.  [/quote]

Sigh.

If your little kid gets punched at school, you flag it at school. They won’t do much besides talk to the violent kid. The kid won’t get suspended. The school won’t call the police. If you call the police, they won’t do anything due to the age of the kid. Ditto for middle school and typically the case for high school.

The school administrators try to avoid conflict. That’s why it shouldn’t be an issue to demand your phone back…even if your kid threw it at a teacher before yelling obscenities and kicking them in the shin. [/quote]

If a violent kid punches your kid at the shopping mall, you call the cops. We have laws to deal with this that don't involve schools.  They have their hands full already trying to educate children. You can't expect them to take responsibility for law enforcement too.[/quote]
