This is like charging someone with robbing a bank simply because they were inside the bank when it occurred.
"Welp, we have here a zero tolerance policy on bank robberies in good ol' Hazzard County. You boys should have used that there ATM outside."
People in a bank robbery are victims.
People hanging out at a party are far from victims.
Apples and razor blades.
First of all - she wasn't charged with a crime.DSUrocks07 wrote:How are they victims? They didn't get robbed. The bank did.danefan wrote:

Or do you mean, "emotionally victimized"?

She was given a summons for possession of alcohol by a minor. Again, I don't understand why no one is criticizing the cops who didn't just let her go.danefan wrote:First of all - she wasn't charged with a crime.DSUrocks07 wrote:

The school rule she broke was being at a place where underage drinking was occurring. Zero tolerance - you cannot be involved in any way, shape or form with a function involving underage drinking.
There is no rule forbidding you from going into a bank.
And when I'm thinking bank robbery - I'm thinking stick-up. If its a quiet hand-over-the-money with a note robbery and people in the bank have no clue it even happens, then I agree they're probably not victims.
Even in that case though, its apples and bananas to me.

A North Andover High School honor student, Erin was cleared by police, who agreed she had not been drinking and was not in possession of alcohol.

Do you think the school system is setting a GREAT example for the kids?
The two kids should be applauded:
1: the drunk girl for recognizing she was under the influence, not driving, and calling a friend for a ride
2: the girl who went to help out a friend that was under the influence
Not suspended from school for DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Do you think the school is putting into place the mindset that "oh no, I cannot go help out a friend who is drunk, because I want to play for x team this weekend and don't want to get suspended if I am found to be near alcohol."
From what I've read and heard she did not "attend" the party. She went to the party to pick up a friend who called her to come pick them up because they were intoxicated.You're acting like you know the whole story... and you don't
Presently there are only two relevant facts:
1) She was in attendance at an underage drinking party
2) The school has a well publicized no tolerance policy

The second item is the problem. I don't care how "well publicized" they are. The fad involving schools establishing "zero tolerance" policies then acting like robots is whacked. It involves taking case by case judgement completely out. It's stupid. It's stupid. It's stupid.
There's no other way to put it. We really, really need a national movement of parents slapping school system officials back into their place.
