Social Media Fuels High-School Attack
Oakley, CA
A bump in the hallway at Freedom High School fueled a profanity-laced argument. That, in turn, led to an argument on Instagram, a form of social media, which led to an attack in the school cafeteria the next day that put a girl in the intensive care unit of a hospital.
The attacker was arrested on suspicion of felonious battery.

Janitor Accused of Sexual Abuse Allowed to Continue Working at Elementary School
Heber, CA
A man accused of sexually abusing a child in Heber is being allowed to work at two local elementary schools there, triggering an outrage from parents.
That man that is being accused of sexual abuse continues to work as a janitor at Heber Elementary during the day and at Dogwood Elementary during after school hours. The problem is, there are still children present at that time because of after-school programs and that has several parents concerned.
"I don't think my daughter is safe going to after-school programs", says Carolina Ramirez. "If he's around the school going into restrooms and taking out the trash, I don't think it's a safe environment for the kids anymore".
According to the mother of the child involved, it happened on October 23 in one of the bathrooms at Dogwood Elementary School.
The janitor, who's name will remain anonymous to protect him and all those affected, allegedly followed the 4 year-old inside the bathroom and sexually molested her.
Alicia Urias says that as far she's concerned, she is no longer comfortable sending her kids to school. She says that she has taken certain precautions with her son and daughter.

Officers Used Surprise to Apprehend Fillmore Student Accused of Carrying Gun to School
Ventura, CA
Officers used the element of surprise in apprehending a Fillmore High School student accused of bringing a gun to school, an administrator said Friday in giving details of the incident.
The 15-year-old girl was arrested Thursday in a classroom after a gun was found in her pocket, said Earl Davis, assistant superintendent of business services for the Fillmore Unified School District.
He said the classroom had two doors, and while a school resource officer entered it through the main door, a deputy sheriff went in through the back door.
Davis said the girl did not notice the deputy approaching her from the back and she was safely taken into custody. Authorities said she was arrested about 10 a.m. after a gun was found in her pocket.
School officials sent an alert to parents about the arrest, Davis said.

Sikhs Allowed to Carry Daggers at Calif. School
Jurupa Valley, CA
A Southern California school district is allowing some Sikh students to carry an article of their faith—a dagger-like blade called a kirpan.
At least three high school students in the Jurupa Unified School District will be allowed to wear the approximately 2-inch knives at school after their parents agreed to solder them or sew them into the sheaths so they cannot be used as weapons, Superintendent Elliott Duchon said.
The kirpan is one of five sacred articles that baptized Sikhs must wear.
"This is an issue of religious freedom and of faith," said Mary Burns, the district's longest-serving school board member. "Who am I to deny what is an article of faith of a 600-year-old religion?"
However, board member Brian Schafer argued that edged kirpans should be banned and only kirpan-shaped pendants should be permitted in school. Schafer said he planned to ask for a public school board vote on the issue.
"If I were a parent and I knew someone was wearing one of these daggers, I would worry about my child's safety and the Sikh students' safety," Schafer said.
