Title: Ridiculous - girl lies about attack
Post by: Chairboy on January 18, 2008, 12:26:28 PM
Girl lies about being attacked by construction workers at school.  The response?  Discussion about limiting construction worker access to the school.

It _didn't happen_, but people are saying this is an "eye opener" about the "dangers of construction workers".  Whiskey tango foxtrot?!

This is ridiculous.

"Children were instructed to travel in pairs, more teachers were in the hallways between classes and more police were stationed at the school."

Another example of the knee-jerk, nanny state we live in.  Overreaction to a threat that does not exist, while the real threat (the lying accuser) goes unpunished.  If I had a kid in that school I would demand the girl be expelled.  What would have happened if she accused a male student or a teacher?

they would have been labeled a sexual predator for the rest of their lives, they would have been restricted as to where they could live and what Jobs they could do.

The only danger here was that 6th grade sociopath who should  have been fast tracked into the justice system.

What a crock of all too typical ****.
