What really gets me is that it was reportedly SIX HOURS before they let parents get to their kids, and three before they even sent out phone alert information. I can understand a brief period of time to make sure there's no more immediate threat and the scene is protected for investigators, but beyond that, if I want my kid you're giving me my kid. The article I read said the delay was because many of the students had seen the incident and the police wanted statements. Is it even legal to keep a juvenile detained, denying the parents access, for that long just to get a statement because they might have been a witness to a crime? I understand the desire to get a statement, but is there any reason the parents couldn't be present for the wait? And truthfully, I don't think their desire to get a statement trumps my right as a parent to have access to my kids -- especially not when so many people saw it.

If we weren't already homeschooling, I'd be withdrawing my kid that same day. Not because of the stabbing (although that's certainly frightening) but because of the behavior of school administrators. What I read also indicated they didn't bother to send anyone to talk to the parents waiting outside the school trying to get their kids.
