10. The kids parents should publize this as much as possible

Fri Feb 8, 2013, 08:21 AM

Feb 2013

the school and police need to have much light shown on them , these kids are presumably 11 or 12 years old plenty old enough to know what they were doing and they are IMO dangerous
Then the parents should contact a lawyer to see if they can legally hold the school responsible

the school it seems wants this to go away quietly
