Middle School Teens Were Sexually Violated to Search for MarijuanaBy Heather Callaghan And now, a nearly complete strip search on middle-school girls, complete with ogling, bra unhooking and an order to shake. Parents say there was a rub-down which constitutes sexual assault (contact) and abuse. What if this had been your daughter? A spokeswoman for the school minimized andmade it very clear that nothing would be done about it. If this behavior is morally bankrupt and punishable in the general populace, shouldnt it be more so in a public institution? Its embarrassing enough to write about this; it should be even more embarrassing to sport this behavior and try to justify it under the auspices of a drug search. Unfortunately, Americans have been trained to accept justifications like this because of television programming and the news media. What kind of twisted logic allows a life-scarring abuse to victimize a young one in order to stop them from potentially harming themselves with pot?? It should be completely obvious that safety or even drugs were nowhere on this radar Lets be crystal clear: anyone who would use authority to destroy the dignity, humanity and innocence of a minor is a seriously disturbed tyrant in need of rehabilitation or a lock-up. They no longer need to be working with minors. As long as authoritative zealots are accusing children of sexual assault for innocent behavior; that attention should be directed to the real offenders in positions of authority. Its good to see that the parents are outraged (versus apathy), but it should never stop there as long as these bizarro incidents continue to occur. Extreme and painful occurrences have a tendency to paralyze good-hearted people; it blindsides them. Its time to remind people they are worth more. Their children are not criminals and one could argue that criminals need not be subjected to such cruel and unusual treatment by officials in prison. (This prompts the questions: who is more sick? who is in more need of morality and rehabilitation?) Shame-based education is for slaves; and there is no acceptable form of slavery. I think these examples are not just about opportunistic pervert-power-trippers, but also take place to send a shock wave out that your child does not belong to your family; that his or her body does not even belong to themselves. How much more possessive can the State get?? The State is training personnel to dehumanize and humiliate students; to literally view them as lucrative human resources. (Why do you think attendance is a really big deal?) As early as the mid-1990s, student handbooks were letting parents know that students were human resources and belonged to that state during school hours. Unfortunately, many of those hours are trauma-inducing and consist of fight, flight or freeze. Everyone whether in public school or not has a right to the pursuit of happiness and to remain unmolested. While it is a good idea to empower children to say NO! to sickos, they are not supposed to have to be combat ready. Unfortunately, people are forced to pay for this ty service. At the very least, we dont need to stand by and let children be so degraded or just huff and puff. A Child Called It was supposed to be a memoir to serve as an example of extreme child abuse not a book of ideas! Individuals who use positions to abuse others need to know that there are consequences. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

The schools are now part of the very profitable campus-to-prison pipeline, so, with all the monitoring of social media, cameras everywhere except the bathrooms (wink-wink), school-issued laptops that have a tendency to transmit videos at any time of day or location, and record-keeping that will let their pre-adolescent discretions be available to future employers or probation officers, the children are already prepared for their futures in the new Amerika. You got it! Serrano. Translation: ARBEI MACHT FREI. The dehumanization of the American student. To prepare them for more destruction of their human rights. Exactly! who are the REAL sick ones here? This is why marijuana will, for the most part, remain illegal. They need an excuse to put their hands on and in you. .and steal your money. It costs parents to fight back. The sexual perverts now have rights to all children in America. I hope these parents win their lawsuits. Why is it that schools can help a student arrange to have an abortion ( help a child to kill their baby) but if a kid has a little marijuana on them they are strip searched by Nazis? They had no right to humiliate these girls. The marijuana was the lesser of the crimes in my opinion. Why do the kids go along with this? Cuz they dont want to be tazed and handcuffed, thats why they go along. Their parents dont expect this to happen from people they trust. Kids are trained by nearly everyone to respect authority and behave to get approval. They dont know that they have a right to say no and fight to protect themselves. What a vicious circle Its amazing that kids have been so dumbed-down by schools that are supposed to teach them! This sexual abuse of students is a FELONY, PERIOD. The law is specific in these cases. A child is a victim of felony sexual assault, whether by a stranger in the streets, or by someone of authority in a school. Just getting them used to it doesnt fly; it doesnt pass muster; it doesnt pass the smell test. Children so abused NEVER get over it; theyre traumatized and will need psychological help for most, if not all, of their lives. So, their molesters in the schools also belong behind bars for the rest of their lives. These filthy perverts are only using marijuana as an excuse to perpetrate their heinous crimes against children; thus, they deserve the maximum penalty for these crimes. George Carlin is in a happier place. its worse than some of you think the kids indiscretions will come up on license plate readers decades from now, from which police like the ones here in Mohave County, Arizona will break into their residences to check things out and deploy criminal extra-judicial assets creatures from hell to entice and/or harrass them them into further confrontations with government. Theres more, but in short every single parent in America desperately needs to temporarily chuck the three Rs out the window faster than Common Core does and sit down with their kids until they understand deep down in their souls that there is a devil, and while his name and image have changed somewhat over the centuries, the present title and form is The United States Government. CPS could have been called and maybe took these kids from their parents. Sue, sue and sue again. Getting a little off subjectwhy doesnt that second mother speak English?
