[quote=Anonymous]My child was involved in a similar assault; he was the victim, and the perpetrator was also a minority. The school did nothing despite us reporting the incident to the SRO and county police as an official report. We never heard back. The only consequence the perpetrator faced was a few days of in-school suspension, even though the child was a known repeat offender. There is a push to avoid the punitive school-to-jail pipeline, but the side effect is that kids realize they won't face serious consequences, so they continue these behaviors. There is no accountability within the school system or even the juvenile justice system. This lack of accountability contributes to the rise in juvenile crime. The focus on avoiding punishment in favor of rehabilitation is often exploited by kids, and if the child is from an underrepresented minority group, there seems to be even less incentive to pursue any form of punishment.[/quote]
