Parents of children who are getting harassed by McCain monsters at school: DO THIS!

[zulchzulu]

You need to have those punks secretly recorded and provide it as evidence to both the school, the law and perhaps to your local TV stations.

If they have a cell phone with video recording capability, use that as a recorder. The problem is they might get in a fight if the punks see themselves being recorded.

If you can afford it, get a portable digital audio recorder (here is one example from Walgreens):


Memorex Digital Voice Recorder
$34.99

Have the child turn the recorder on BEFORE going out in the hall or wherever the usual spot of harassment occurs. Put the recorder in a pants pocket or a bag pocket where it can pick up the noise best while being hidden. Since these devices can record long sessions at a time, there is no need to have to turn the device on or off.

Get the punks on tape doing their actions and then go from there. If possible, have the child say the person's name in the tape somehow so the other person verifies it.

Another possibility is that if the school has an AV department, perhaps the child could use a portable recorder for a day or two.

Let's get these harassments down on tape, whether video or otherwise. It has to be done!

On edit: these portable audio recorders are also good for recording lectures as well, so it's all good!

I'm sure it's pretty prevalent nationally in the red zones.
