Re: Venting, I suppose

Calling the cops on a second-grader is fucking nightmare fuel and seems over the top and abusive. How incredibly fucked up of the school.
*hugs on offer*

I'm not up on my American school ages, but isn't a second grader like six or maybe seven? I don't know that the police would even answer that call here, if a school can't handle a six year old misbehaving then it really is not a police matter.

Second grade is generally 7-8. I know it's awful but I can't help wondering what the incident was, since OP didn't say. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that your police wouldn't take a call about a kid seriously, because there are kids out there who commit very serious crimes and don't get taken seriously when they should, just because they're kids. The bully kid could have killed someone for all we know, or started a fire. Whoever gets in trouble (hopefully the one who really did it) will be tried as a child, but he should still be held responsible and it wouldn't be wrong to call the police about it if it was that serious.

Children, by definition cannot commit crimes. They may commit acts, but they lack the necessary maturity and judgement skills needed to commit crimes. They are not mentally capable of committing crimes. The acts, however horrible some might be, should be dealt with outwith the law enforcement system. Primarily they are dealt with by the educational systems and the social care systems, along with the parents or guardians thereof. Never the Police. Although the Police may have a role in investigating the parents or guardians if they have failed the children or in managing the situation.

They are 7-8 years old and THIS. Shame on the school for CALLING the police, and shame on the police for actually showing up to terrorize a tiny child. I'm willing to bet that said child probably isn't white.

Unless the kid had a gun or other weapon, I agree calling the police seems way over the top. 2nd grade! These poor kids.

In the US, we have what is called the 'school to prison pipeline'. Kids, mostly kids of color, are arrested and taken away by 'school cops' (usually police employed by the schools to patrol in the halls with little to no training vis a vis - kids). This is for stuff like...having ADHD. The kid was zip-tied hand and foot, and the cop took him away to get a psychiatric eval WITHOUT calling the kids parents. (https://www.kcra.com/article/5-year-old-handcuffed-charged-with-battery-on-officer/6395087)

Kids are arrested for texting, for food fights, for kissing a classmate (not sexual harassment, but like a 6 year old kissing another kid on the cheek).

The US - once again being disgusting, horrifying, traumatic, and embarrassing.
