[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ms. Loft is a good principal but should be irrelevant to what's happening at Westover.  This isn't about the school not taking action, it's about the police not arresting these kids instead of just having a friendly conversation with them.  It's about holding the parents accountable.

Assaulting senior citizens off school property not during school hours isn't an APS issue.  It's an ACPD issue.[/quote]

What constitutes as criminal behavior has evolved over the past few years. Throwing eggs at shoppers or cafe patrons, even with video evidence is simply bad behavior, and nothing more. Sadly this behavior is celebrated on youth-oriented social media platforms. Hopefully the parents discipline. There’s nothing the school can do. And the police will likely stay out of it. [/quote]

The problem is that the parents aren't disciplining, and the police are staying out of it which means that there are zero consequences for these kids.  Throwing eggs at an 85yr old woman isn't just bad behavior.  Sorry not sorry, it's not.  [/quote]

Exactly. It should be a crime but it’s not. There are no consequences these days for simple assault like this. And kids are no longer disciplined, or held accountable for their actions. [/quote]
