Kids locked IN when school finds threats??

Threat forces lockdown at Blue Valley High
Blue Valley High School is under a precautionary lockdown because authorities found a threat today on boys’ bathroom wall, saying that a shooting would take place at noon.

Two similar threats were found Wednesday at the school.

Johnson County Deputy Tom Erickson said today there is no indication that any of the threats were credible.

School district officials are asking parents not to try to pick up their children today. No one is allowed to leave or enter when a school is in lockdown. :scared:

1. Bomb threats = Evac, Shooting threats = lockdown. Pretty much the same nationwide.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Not at my school

We do let parents in when they come to pick up their kids.

[RL3AO]

3. In a lockdown?

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Yes, we cannot refuse to give a child to their parent

The parent assumes responsibility for the child when they leave the building with them. Bottom line - THEIR kid, not ours.

[RL3AO]

12. I'm pretty sure the school has the legal right to tell parents no during an emergency.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Our legal dept said no

We have to release the child to the parent.

16. delete.

17. So, a guy is in a school shooting. A parent runs in and wants their kid and the teacher

is required by law to shove the kid into the hallway where the shooter is so they can get the kid to the parent?

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

19. That kid belongs to the parent,

not the school. So yes, even in a lockdown, the parent has the right to decide where to take their own child.

Your example is rather silly. But in that situation, I would think the parent would get shot before getting to the classroom. Anyway, most schools require parents to report to the office first when they enter the building. :eyes:

[xultar]

15. While the shooter is shooting? BUHWAWAWAWAWA!

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. You actually believe lockdowns are only for times when someone is shooting?

Did you even read the article?

Good grief, you don't need to get past the headline to understand this particular situation.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[xultar]

4. What if the threat sends them out to where the shooter is. I think it is

easier to control them on lock down than have them running into the streets.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Refusing to release the child to the parent

could be considered kidnapping.

[xultar]

14. Please point out in my post where I say refuse release of kids to parents?

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

That was the funniest shit I've read all week.

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

Surely you would understand that when the school is on lockdown they are in the midst of the fucking mayhem.

After they are sure the criminals are done and that the shooting or what ever it is is finished they'd release the kids to the parents.

Why would you release the children to the parents while the fuckers are still shooting?

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

20. My school has been on lockdown twice in the last month

and there was no mayhem.

You are obviously not too familiar with schools or security policies. :eyes:

5. Right, I thought I was the only one who noticed that oddity.

It's obvious that those setting the policies (in the Department of Homeland Suckyourity) are trying to get as many people killed as possible, to augment terror fears.

8. Glad to see you get it!

:hi:

9. We release the kids to the parents individually.

If the lockdown is still in effect at the close of school, the parent can't come into the building, but we release the kids to the parent at the front of the building. Fortunately, we're pretty small, so we know all the parents by sight. We still run buses, too.

10. See, now that's when you should open the school's armory

And start handing out the guns to all the students. Then everyone will be safe, safe, safe.

Unless, of course, you're some kind of goddam communist or something, and you don't think every school should have an armory with weapons to be issued within minutes of receiving any threat. You probably want the terrorists to win, too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. Sounds like a plan then

:)

18. This is a typical position for schools

It happens to make sense. The last thing you should have is students wandering around the school during a lockdown.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Our local news covered this story last night

They talked to quite a few parents at this high school who were livid that their kids were locked in the building and not released when the parents came to get them. And this was all over 'threats' on a bathroom wall!

[dsc]

23. and imagine the fury if they had ignored the threats

and someone died. Schools are in a very tough position with these threats. We had a lockdown the other day for a former student who threatened to shoot students and may or may not have had a gun.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. If they start locking down schools every time some kid

writes a threat on the bathtroom wall, we would never have class.

[gollygee]

24. They don't know which student was planning it

They don't want to release the student who is planning to hurt people, and they don't want to have other students out in the halls when it's going on. The school a family member works in has every door automatically lock when there's a lock-down. No one can go from any one room to another.

25. We just had this happen

At a high school here in MI,a kid broke a mercury thermometer in a hallway apparently trying to get to have a couple days off of school,Well it kind of backfired as every person in the building had to be decontaminated before they were allowed to leave.They still had people at the school at 8pm last night.I don't think kids realize that bomb threats and trying to get a day off school by contaminating a building with a dangerous substance such as mercury carry a 20 year prison sentence nowadays.
