This wasn't the resource officer and they weren't discussing a playground fight. The kid was questioned by cops for an alleged crime yet parents weren't notified until he was at the police station being finger printed.

And that is how the system works. If administrators called parents every single time a kid was in the office there would be zero time to do anything else. This I know. When law enforcement or any outside agency is involved, schools have to abide by their rules and regulations. They make contact with parents when they determine the time to be appropriate.
Totally wrong, especially since he asked for his parents multiple times.
No, you are wrong.
hey smart guy you just agreed to where I noted your failure with cns. There is a reason why i posted links, try to read them. Texas law does not allow continued questioning once parents are asked for.
First, thanks for the compliment. Most people call me a dumb ass, not a smart guy.
To my point, I did read the links. I understand that the law there says that parents have to be notified. I just assumed that everyone reading here would know that when I use the term "appropriate" it would imply that they would act within the law. More specifically, I was not defending law enforcement in this case. They should have called parents, because that would have been the normal procedure under Texas law. I said the school did what they were supposed to do. They turned it over to law enforcement and let them handle it. (Now, I do not know what Texas statutes guide schools, but am not that interested in researching it at this time.)
I work with law enforcement, DCF, the court system and school personnel daily. There are folks who perform well in their roles and a few who do not. I am, by nature, an apologist. But I try to be rational and thoughtful when I have to make judgments about situations.
