it's unfathomable to me. For example the police must have asked the teachers to leave the room when they were doing the search. Surely any competent teacher would have said stop, we need the parents here if this is going to continue. It's fundamental duty of care. I think heads should roll

It wouldnt, their clothes wouldnt smell of your weed.:shrug:

Also why the HELL did this take 2 YEARS for us to hear about?? .

Same goes for assault & violation in general , why does it take 2 years for anything to be investigated !???.

I was wondering the same thing , where the hell was the DUTY OF CARE.
This was a kid , not some terrorist making bomb threats .
