The school did not tell the truth on the website there were drugs found and kids suspended. They also should of checked the teachers cars. Chanel 4 should dig a little deeper find more things that went on that shouldnt of. Dirty little secrets have a way of coming out.
I think they should do another drug sweep through the high school. I currently go to the high school. I know kids there bring drugs and use them. There was a lock down also, and the dogs was going nuts down the halls of Hammy High.
The problem as I hear it directly from the police officers at the police station is that the school systems “PAY” the payroll for the police officer(s) located at the school. Therefore, the school police officers turn their head when real trouble occurs. The school guidance office hands out fliers to the students telling them they don’t have to talk to the police. The school doesn’t want its statistics to be affected by crime reports or drugs or they will lose some of their grants and funding. No schools are reporting bullying on their websites as required by law either. Don’t report problems to the school, go directly to the police department in your town or city and follow-up with the district attorney. Then you will get action.
Any cop who can’t find drugs in a high school needs to be retired to the Blind Police Home. Where did they look, the principal’s office?
PLEASE…... be careful in using such strong ,broad statements… Our kids work so hard…. Isn’t it hard enough today for them? I am not blind to what goes on around us in the world… hold your kids close. Rear them as best we can, and HOPE they make the right decisions for themselves as they grow older….
Please go to Hilliard Davidson too! My niece is now in Nationwide Childrens from Heroin, plus she always got pills there too. Not Blaming the system, just seems like they pretend it’s not going on here, and should consider allowing a police dog to search once, just too see what they find.
In other news, a central Ohio driver stopped at a traffic light where a camera did not take a picture.
A traveler went through the TSA screening at Port Columbus without taking more than 3 ounces of liquid on-board. And finally, someone surfed the internet at their desk at lunch and did not look at any pornographic images. Film at 11.
Could you go to Hilliard Darby High School before school is out and get some of the dealers out of there? They even sell on my daughter’s school bus. No wonder there is no drug testing for athletes there. It’s a mess.
