[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How on the hell could a SCHOOL have a “policy” that staff are not allowed to stop a FIVE YEAR OLD who is attempting to leave its campus? If I had that policy in my house it would be called child abuse, and rightly so. This idea is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard here. Someone post a link to this alleged policy.[/quote]

There is no such policy. There is a cop or a cop supporter just putting BS red herrings in the thread.

They realized he was gone, they called the police. Period.

If there is a defiant teen you can’t restrain him, but if a 5 yo is walking away you can stop him, you can follow him, etc.[/quote]

This may be the part of the regulation (linked above) to which staff are referring:

"Under no circumstances are MCPS staff members permitted to physically escort
students for non-compliant or provocative behavior unless it is physically 
aggressive and causes a safety issue that significantly disrupts school operations. In 
the case of physical aggression or safety issues, the designated trained MCPS staff 
member must follow all procedures set forth in this regulation and Maryland law."

I could see people having different interpretations of "significantly disrupts school operations."[/quote]
