Agree. This is an issue at multiple MCPS schools. Admin has its hands tied as to what kind of punishment they can utilize. Restorative Justice often doesn’t cut it.

Kids learn early on in MCPS that they can get away with all sorts of terrible anti-social behavior because they never face negative consequences for said behavior. It’s a horrible environment for both students and teachers.

Heard the consequence is just suspension for 10 days which is useless

In cases like these where you are a parent, it would be a fair ask to inform us about the type of punishment issued to make us feel more at ease and confident in the system. Not knowing leaves everyone curious, scared, infuriated, etc.

This wasn't a fight. This was an attack, and I hope those parents press charges and sue MCPS.

If the parents are reading this, I truly hope your child is ok, and I'm sorry they/you went through this. There is no excuse for this behavior, and that attacker needs to be thrown out of MCPS, as your child should be safe at school.

MCPS is only liable for what it could reasonably have done. Need to sue the parents of the attacker

Reasonably, they have staff monitoring the hallways and bathrooms and break this up. There is no reason why kids should be assaulted. Put camera's everywhere public for easier monitoring.

That won't pass the "clear and convincing" bar for a civil lawsuit. You'd have to prove that MCPS did not have recommended monitoring deployed and that if they did it would have PREVENTED this. The argument that monitoring of some kind would deter the attack is basically a non-starter, since it is obvious to the assailant that they will be caught. Thus, having the ability to identify the assailant won't deter anything, since detection is already a guarantee anyway. Instead, you would have to prove that staff would somehow be able to intervene in time to stop the attack. Given the number of students in the hallway, this is a dead argument also. MCPS wouldn't be able to maintain that level of staff to identify an escalating event, arrive at the location from the monitoring point, and then intervene to deescalate the confrontation in time. There is no real lawsuit here unless there was a known history between these two students or at least from one of them that warranted a preaction that could have prevented this.

Also, I am hearing that the incident happened outside after children had gotten off the bus, and not inside the school. No cameras or staff in hallways would do anything in this case.

The poor 6th grader had a broken nose and 4 teeth are gone? Not sure, what exactly what happened but this is what my DD said.
