I worked in Baltimore city jail. There’s more violence in our high schools than there was there in open population. [/quote]

Kids who are violent and assaulting others would be charged with felony assault and jailed so there are serious consequences for these actions.[/quote]

But in school they are protected. That is the point. Schools do not call police for things that would be called immediately in the open population. Fights, assaults, rapes, theft, drugs, etc…

Administration’s job is to keep the school having the least amount of cases reported against them. It’s pretty scary what goes on that most aren’t aware of. And the police are frustrated when a parent has to be the one to contact them and the school does very little to help the victim or the police due to confidentiality. [/quote]

[b]No they aren't protected. Crime is a crime even in schools.[/b] You still have the right to file charges and an obligation to your community to ensure that violent criminals are removed. [/quote]

Yes they are protected.  The PP is right.  Even when there is a crime during school, MCPS does not have to call the police.  That is the whole point.  And when you have to contact the police on your own, the police have a hard time obtaining anything from the school.  They always say that MCPS has been trying to keep police out of the school for years now.  I know this first hand because it happened to my child and it was a terrible situation.  The school did more to protect themselves than to protect my child.  [/quote]
