Mentally Challenged Kid Taken to Court by School for Recording Bullies Attacking Him

They aren’t trying to make money. They are covering their asses so they don’t have to pay due to neglect.

Damn. Those people are the scum of the earth. And my bad I thought they were getting payed.

Will the school silence the truth? Will the extreme, unnecessary and wrong charges against this kid get dropped? Will the bullies get called out for bullying? Will SRK stop using the word retard? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!

If anything he violated state laws about recording conversations, however I cannot for the life of me understand how violating a STATE LAW can result in a felony. I suspect the school destroyed the evidence when it was presented to them, so the felony wiretapping charge had no evidence to convict him on. Which is probably why the charge this had to be downgraded to disorderly conduct. What a joke. Remember when that PA school logged into laptops remotely to spy on students? So odd that was not considered wiretapping…

I give the boy some credit since he try to solve his problem the nonviolent way.

Now the school is like any other school in the U.S. nowadays, ignore the problem until it is too late.

Since when are felonies only federal? Felonies are just a different level of crime. They are in a different class than misdemeanors.

Seriously, we need to fix this education system because so many of you have fallen through the cracks.

Where I live, some group of kids with similar issues made a prank phone call about a bomb to another school, during break
The other school was evacuated! It appears there was a gf of one of the kids and she wanted him to do something for her school lessons to end.

that what surprised me, because the kid couldnt even speak right…

police interfered but they let those kids go. it is just that they had to follow bureaucratic procedures due to school evacuation…

Jorge Saavedra went to greater extremes to deal with bullying. Sometimes he skipped school or took an alternate route through yards to get their to avoid riding the bus. He also reported the problem through school authorities. Nothing was done and one day he decided to take a knife to school and get off at a bus stop prior to his to avoid the bully, but the bully got off at that stop after him.

I’m baffled by this, i don’t want to generalize but where i’m from i feel we are way to sober let dumb stuff like this happen, ever.
The kid should be celebrated, teacher and schools go on and on about how not to retaliate eventhough you get physically or emotionally abused and have to inform the poeple in power(teachers) do take action…yet they shove it under a rug. This kid has solid evidence showing his predicament…and HE’s the one getting punished?! What The Fuck.

How do people get so out of touch with reality.

Funny how they turn around when the story circles for a bit.

At least something happened.

ElderGod is a realist.

thurst, you are a fool. You are black iirc. While you are right in the “textbook” “academic” level, real life doesn’t work that way for non-whites. If you try recording cops, you are very liable to catch a serious beatdown. And then you can indeed be vindicated, if the court systems want you to at any rate, and get some money for it, some year or years down the line. But I can assure you, you will rather not catch the beating, and that amount of money can vary.

Do you seriously think you’re going to stand there citing SCOTUS cases and that will sway a cop’s mind?

Maybe he didn’t get “the conversation” yet?

attp.org, really -_-

lol@citing scotus. I did legit laugh at that. Yeah, the rules seem to change depending on where you are, what you are, and of course, who you are. Cops will likely fuck you up if you catch them doing dirt, and the odds double if not triple if they see you filming it.

If you’re in a business environment and you’re black, you have the advantage, but all that goes out the window if you end up anywhere near an incident or a pissed off cop. My friend, who is black, would have been in jail for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you guys have no idea how easy it is to get someone who is innocent and I assume you guys won’t until it happens to you or someone close to you. I had to pull some strings to get that uniformed peasant off my friend’s back and the only thing he was going on was “a black man was seen fleeing the area.” GGPO all blacks within the area.

My advice to blacks out there is buy an expensive suit and try to look rich. I’m talking about looking professional, not like an idiot auditioning for a music video. Cops are scared to mess with rich people because rich people have no problem allocating resources to get people fired who piss them off.

Elder God knows what the fuck is up.

-Starhammer-

the point was it’s not illegal and those laws have been thrown out. we’re talking about a white kid (and his white mom) in a suburban pennsylania, in a principal’s office.

Actually you referenced public outside, organizations have their own rules.

When I was in junior high, the cop stationed in the hall was selling drugs to the students. I wanted to record it and send it to mayor’s office. Since I knew that we are not allowed to record, I asked multiple professors if I had to do a project how to go about it. I was eventually redirected to facilities, who gave me a long as form to fill out that would have to be approved before recording anything on school property, detailing how what when where etc in reference to the recording. In addition, I was given additional forms that would have to be filled out and signed by each person to appear in my recording before I am even allowed to record them.

Please keep in mind this was before cell phones existed.

At that point I actually believed in fairness and justice. Now I know how corrupt the system is and don’t bother to get involved. Now when I see NYPD commit crimes I just turn away and don’t get involved.

Funny as you said that:
