School Girl strip searched

[starscream]

CNN had a report on a highschool girl that was strip search at school by the school Nurse and another female school official after her friend told the principle she gave her perscription pills. AM I out of line or the only person here that thinks this is insane and wrong. I'm sure her parents never thought that when she went to school that day she would be stripped down. I understand that they need to keep the school safe but this is going to far.

Please let me no if you agree with me or not and why.

[Memorix]

I don't fully agree with it, but it was only a safety procaution. They didn't know what kind of pills she had so they were checking her fully to find them and keep her safe. It's still wrong though...

It is clearly outlined in most district policies that the administration has the right to preform any kind of search they see fit given the situation. Be it a backpack, a locker, patting you down, or a strip search. And that by sending your child to school you are asserting that you are aware of and accept the administrations right to do this. It's like here when you read the terms of service and it tells you the admins and mods can and will change your posts if the think they need to with out notification or a given reason. Also I don't really see a problem if they had done it publicly or had the search been administered by men.... well that would be different.

[CryticX]

All that I have to say is......WTF, pills? She's gonna get high on prescription pills? like 2 of em'? wow.... I bet the nurse is a lesbian pedophile...but I don't disagree on the search.

Apparently not because the Supreme Court is taking on the case. So this tells me there isn't a law in place.

[jamjfly]

I do believe that was going too far. Now if they had strip searched her on suspicion that she had a weapon that she planned to use (gun, knife, etc.) then it would have been okay, but for prescription pills, no.

[Abarai]

this is going too far..if she had something dangerous with her it would have been ok..but with pills?:S

Wtf?is something wrong in school employees?

I said most, as in not all.

[wi_sam]

Strip search ?! just because someone told them a girl a has some pills.
That is just wierd, these things rarely happen in prisons....

[Inuyasha50]

I have to say this is going too far. i mean, it is a perscription for pete's sake!!! At least it isn't going to kill anyone!!!

[cutieB]

i say it's going to far and that like crytic said the nurse was a lesbo pedo lol but i dont think she should have been stripped searched.

[analogZero]

maybe the other student actually said, "she's got prescription pills...in between her ass cheeks." This is the kind of thing that can wait for the parents to get there for. Put her in a room and keep an eye on her until her parents arrive and they can approve a humiliating search. It's not like the pills are going anywhere if they're stuffed into her bra or in one of the many nooks and crannies scattered about the human body.
if a rubber glove came into play, then I'm all over the foul play verdict.
ps. did she actually have pills on her? or are we just focusing on the violation of a young teenage girl?

Lol ....
I bet she had an entire pharmacy on her.

[LianaV]

for the school officials to search her, yes thats going to far. Now if police officers (female of course) took her into custody and all that jazz maybe okay...but like i said, just the school officials hell no..and thats cuz my sis got busted for something like this recently and i still wouldn't want her stripped search by school employees for some pills she was selling.

[2nd legacy]

yup going to far and plus its illegal rite..cuz they need a warrant rite?

[quietchat]

You need a warrent to search someone's property, but in a goverment owned facility or places that involve security, they don't need a warrent.

So basically meaning: So long as they had good reason to suspect somthing that would require a strip search, it's legal. If it bothers you that much though, there's always the method of patting your hands against the body for anything hidden, but if they did that then you'd just have claims that she was molested.

[revwest]

As a parent and having been in school hell in past I can say it is too far. If it was my kid and suspicion was there; Call me. And if there is a REAL f***ing reason to do it call the authority to do it, the police. PERIOD. School claims more rights then they legally have. Illegal search and seizure is not allowed irrelevant of the students age. Yes they have certain rights to pat down and check bags but once clothing is removed they have crossed the line.

[chordi01]

its still wrong even if the girl had something on her

[starscream]

She had no pills on her. She was an honer roll student, with no disciplinary actions, and her parents were never contacted. Also we are talking about 400 mg Ibuprophin. Motrin people come on.

[strike7785]

I dont exactly agree with it either however, she was stripped in the nurses office but observed in privacy by another female. Its better to be safe than sorry

[Ramrok]

well their intentions werent demeaning... altho i would have preffered to be the one doing the strip searching but i guess you cant have everything go your way.

[leshinor]

As many have said before me, they crossed the line... If there were such suspicions, the first thing to do is contact the parents and the police. I do not know if they have the right to strip a person down in the school if there are suspicions but if that were the case then people could just blame others just for fun... If they do have such a right then I guess they would need some serious proof that she carries such pills.

[Persha]

I think you could argue this both ways...but I'm going to say that the school did have the right to search the girl. If the girl was giving out Rx drugs....and I don't really care what kind it was....the point is she shouldn't of given them to anyone. Actually in most school's now (at least where I live) you have to leave med's with the office and go to the office to take them...so yes it's in school policy that you can't have drugs of any kind (yes even plain Advil) on your person. And so therefore the school would have the right to search the girl for the drugs. Also someone above mentioned that it's not like the girl could of killed anyone with a prescription, but what if it had been something the other kind was allergic to?....what do you do when the kid she gave the drugs to has a reaction and stops breathing? Anyways that's just my thoughts on the topic....I think the girl was stupid for giving med's of any kind to other kids in school...and she must not of known the other kid very well if the kid told on her.

Well you have a point there but were their suspicions based strongly enough to resort to such a method??? They stripped her before her parents or the police could give approval...

[carolyn07]

...it's wrong for me as well,.

though i can't also blame the school staffs for doing that,.

pills are not that easy to see!,.

and it's the student's fault in the first place!,.

but i dont think it's school if she striiped her in public!,.

i mean,.they should do that in a close place,.like for example in clinc!,.♥

Umm, from what I understood, they did this in a closed place in the presence of only a few people that had to attend...

[Troy65]

I think there is must be something in that schools rules and regulations that will allow them to do that. But the school should told the student that they would have contacted the students parent(s) and also the police department, and done it also. I have not heard of the story, so I don't know all the facts.
But now the student can say that they (staff members) touched her in an inappropriate manner, and now the school and the staff members would be on the hot seat.
Starscream- you said it was on CNN? I will have to look that up.

Wow, did you read the post? Lesh is right it was done in the nurses office not the hallway. That would have been a whole other can of worms. But the parents still should have been notified. The mother could have done the search.

[Demon Soul]

[sarcasm] I wish I was the one who did the "strip search"! [sarcasm/]

That's just wrong.

[leerock89]

Ecchi??????????

[Persha]

As to whether or not their suspicions were strong enough to resort to the strip search, that was up to the school to decide. I think it would depend on what the kid said to the school officials and whether or not she/he exaggerated the story at all. And if the school had a policy in place stating their rules and what actions they would take if said rules were broken, then they would not have to notify the parents before hand. Most schools send home school rule books at the beginning of the year (at least where I live they do). Like I said before if the kid had been allergic to the pills (whatever they were) would you want the school to have to waste time trying to notify parents that they had to search their kid in order to try and save another kids life? And I know that's kind of taking it to the extreme, but it is something that could happen.

[animaniac]

this sure grabbed a lot of attention having "School Girl" + "strip".

I suppose it would depend if it's in the school rules and if there's something in the handbook that says "We will commence a strip search upon confirmation of possible possession of pills and other illegal paraphernalia."

[blood zero]

Its all about pleasure nowadays and its sick really

[saprintha]

that is definitely going too far. just for prescription pills? that isn't right. it didn't even sound like it was to keep the school safe, it's more like sexual harassment on that high school girl.

[carolyn07]

...oh!,.i'm sorry!,.i'm not perfect!,.but i dont think i favored any parties?,.

i just don't like the reaction!,.that's it!,.♥

[shinigmiXb]

i have to say that pissses me off!!!! i wanna get stripped search by a female nurse!!!!

[spirit]

AM I out of line or the only person here that thinks this is insane and wrong. I'm sure her parents never thought that when she went to school that day she would be stripped down. I understand that they need to keep the school safe but this is going to far.

Please let me no if you agree with me or not and why.

Oiii, pretty scandalous. That reminds me of the high school and that no student was allowed to carry any pills nor medicine with them - not even some soft pain killers like Advil etc. At that time that rule seemed extremely ridiculous (especially to me since I suffered from severe migraines). Now, this example shows how exaggerated and insane the things have gone. X____X

[madman]

this reminds me of when i was in middle school. the day before winter break a girl was found with vodka in a water bottle, she was found out because she vomited in the hallway. which leads me to my point.

i think the real problem is that teenagers are doing what ever they can to get a high, from alcohol to pills to choking them selfs until they pass out. and it appears that no enough parents are parenting, this leaves the schools to deal with these problems, and though they are trying the schools are not capable of handling this. if the schools try to handle the problem it can lead to incidences like this one, but if they do nothing their students could get seriously hurt.

as far as whether or not what the school did as right or wrong, all i can say is i'm glad i'm not the one who has to make the decisions, and i wish i could come up with a solution.

[FlrcntKnht]

Yes this is going too far A) When i was in school i knew they had the right to search my locker and bookbag but it would take the army and two maybe three Batman's fully equiped for them to get me to agree to a strip search B) Where the hell was this chicks common sense. Allowing this to happen on her end was a major ball drop whether or not she gave perscription drugs to that other girl makes no difference. The proper authorities should have handled this not a school nurse and an assistant or who ever. They should take that school to court for a big payday because that was a big FTard move on the schools part.

[mikesword]

No one has the authority to strip search someone unless they're a cop. But still that should never happen on a school campus.

[mikesword]

Today a girl in my PE class got escorted to the office and got searched for no reason. She went to the bathroom to clean out her pockets because some gum was sticking the pocket closed. They didn't say anything till after they were done searching her and their excuse was that someone saw her throwing away contraband.

[black fire]

i personaly think thats messed up.. noone should be strip serched at all its not like they can hide anything that thay cant feel through the cloths i mean really... i axidently brought a knife to school and i got sent to the office for it and i explaned what happened, didnt get into trubble but i had to come after school to get it back.. but i was never stripserched and if i was someone would have something broken...

[Naoto]

Thats crazy wat they did, thats way to far
