Gahanna, OH
A teenager whose cryptic online messages led to his arrest this week said he had thought about killing himself but wanted to “die like a hero,” according to a Gahanna police report released yesterday.
He also told police he had not considered shooting his classmates at Gahanna Lincoln High School. But when police asked how he would perform a shooting, he described in vivid detail how he would trap students and lead officials astray, according to the report.
Police arrested Spencer Pearson, 16, on Monday after tracking several tweets and two YouTube videos to a computer at his home at 1117 Northwood Circle in Gahanna. He was released yesterday from juvenile detention and is charged with a delinquency count of inducing panic. Authorities say his videos and messages over the weekend spurred 200 calls to police from concerned parents and students.

Small Fire Disrupts Morning at School
New Palestine, IN
(Above link requires registration)
A fire in a restroom at Sugar Creek Elementary School Wednesday is under investigation by officials with the Sugar Creek Township Fire Department and the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department.
Principal Tony Strangeway said the fire was reported at about 8:45 a.m. in the boys restroom located off the main hall just as school officials were wrapping up breakfast service and getting students to class.
The school’s head custodian, Kim Tarplee, noticed smoke and tried to extinguish the fire until officials arrived.
“The bathroom was completely smoke-filled,” Strangeway said. “You couldn’t see anything.”
All students were immediately evacuated and none were in any danger, he said.
“When our crews got here, they did find a fire in the bathroom,” Sugar Creek Township Division Chief Randy Brandlein said.
School officials were able to get all the students back inside the school to resume instruction once fire officials gave the all clear notice at about 10 a.m.

Quebec Teen Pleads Guilty after High School Stabbing
Quebec, Canada
After a student was stabbed several times at a high school near Trois Rivières, a 16-year-old boy pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempted murder.
The youth is accused of bringing a kitchen knife to L'Escale, a Louiseville high school, on the morning of Nov. 14. He then confronted a 16-year-old boy, who he claims had been bullying him, and the two began fighting, the court was told.
In the struggle, court heard, the teen pulled out a knife and stabbed his classmate in the face, the throat and the ribs, puncturing the victim's lung and cutting his jugular vein. Three students and an adult jumped in to subdue the attacker.

Bay Area School Safety Data Flawed, No Oversight
San Francisco, CA
The online database appears to be a useful resource, but the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit found some of the data is wrong.
And no one is monitoring the data.
To view the data click here. It is a state system made up of data
submitted by school districts across California, mandated by the No
Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Schools are required to report firearm-related incidents, suspension and expulsions.
In California, PDS is based on the
number of expulsions recorded for specific violent offenses. If a school
expels a high enough number three years in a row, they're designated as
PDS.
No California school has received the PDS label since NCLB was implemented about a decade ago.
The investigation found numerous examples of districts submitting inaccurate information.

A Powerful Article about Teacher Assaults
Lately, I have read several blogs and discussions concerning the under-reporting of crimes in schools. As both a school administrator and a Director of School Safety, this directly impacts my work.
Yesterday I came across this article in the San Francisco Chronicle "Teachers learning to file assault complaints". The article covers Connecticut teachers who face problems with being assaulted in schools. It provided a chilling statistic for Connecticut schools. "In 2010-11, the latest school year data available, there were 181 assaults on teachers and school employees in Bridgeport and 1,528 assaults in the state, up from 1,308 in 2009-2010." The article goes on to add more chilling statistics: "There were more than 6,400 reported incidents of physical violence against school employees from 2006 through 2010, according to data collected by the State Department of Education. (Connecticut)"
The first response from a person in denial is, 'That's just in Connecticut.' While it might be hoped for, that is not the case. "Using figures from the National Center for Educational Statistics, the study found that 253,100 teachers -- about seven percent -- report being threatened with injury, and 127,500 report being physically attacked in 2003-04. In 2007-08, according to the NCES, the number threatened had risen to 289,600 and the number attacked rose to 154,400. Reported assaults were more likely in urban districts and in secondary schools, the data showed." Seven percent of teachers across the country report being threatened with injury, and approximately 3.5% reporting being physically attacked, and it's clear that a major problem exists.
The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted a study which called violence against teachers a silent national crisis, with over 25% of teachers nationwide reporting being threatened at school. A preview of that study had a quote from the Task Force which conducted the study, "“These numbers did not differ by school setting, by gender of the teacher or by years of teaching,” said Task Force Chair Dorothy L. Espelage, PhD, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."
The question always arises, "Why don't teachers report?" Many teachers are assaulted by young students, and they don't want the student to get into serious trouble. They may not want to get involved in a long, protracted legal procedure. Perhaps they fear retribution, or they may not feel that they have the administration's support. Sometimes teachers are dissuaded from reporting the crime, to help create the illusion that the school is safe.
This must not be.
School safety is a matter for all in schools, not just the children. We cannot attract the best and brightest to the profession of education if people will fear for their safety. People cannot perform at their best if they operate in fear. It is up to us, those that dedicate ourselves to the protection of others, to create an atmosphere of safety and hope. We cannot stand by as anyone is threatened or attacked.
Our society is in turmoil, with more and more children becoming aggressive. Yet, they are not the enemy. Their aggressive behaviors are, and it is from those that we must defend the other children, and the adults whose safety is our responsibility.
Sheepdogs protect the sheep from the wolves, from within the flock and from outside the flock. We cannot look the other way, we cannot falter, we cannot fail.
Don't accept under-reporting, and don't allow the denial of others to influence your duty.

Under-Reporting Discipline Issues in Schools
Bibb County, GA
Michael Dorn, of Safe Havens International, has been hired by the Bibb County school system to perform an assessment of their schools. One of their most important findings was, "The underreporting of on-campus incidents requiring student discipline."
There can be many reasons for this, chief among them is the desire to not be seen as a violent school. This is denial in its most damaging form. This is akin to a homeowner not wanting to know about the roaches, or carpenter ants, as that would give their house the appearance of being pest-ridden.
There are some very important reasons to properly report discipline incidents. One, you cannot take care of a problem unless you identify it as a problem. That's the first step in any type of recovery program. Shed the denial and recognize that there is a problem.
Two, schools can place themselves in some serious liability jeopardy by not reporting discipline issues. In Indiana, we are required to file a report of all suspensions and expulsions from that school year. Improperly reporting data is fraud. Having a student report a gun, and not reporting that to the police, is a crime. Do we want our school administrators acting dishonestly to maintain the illusion of a safe school? If school administrators are saying the schools are safe, and the kids know differently, how much respect will they have for school administration? Will parents be able to trust school administrators who are fraudulent?
At what point do those who are responsible for protecting the sheep become the wolves? This is a very real possibility when we operate by dishonesty, rather than honesty; on perceived notions of safety rather than reality.
Fraud and deceit are not the Sheepdog Way.

Teachers Attacked by Students Show Signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Chicago, IL
Six years ago, Norma Brown, a Chicago Public Schools teacher for more than 30 years, took a stand against a fourth-grader who refused to remove his baseball hat in the school's lunchroom.
A fight ensued. A group of 11- and 12-year-olds surrounded Brown, yelling and cursing. One cocked his fist and punched her squarely in the left eye. Brown stumbled for the door and two girls, a sixth-grader and an eighth-grader, began punching and kicking her. She fought to remain standing.
"I knew that if I fell to the ground they would stomp on me," she said recently. "When you fall, you're dead meat."
What happened to Brown may be extreme, but police records show reports of violent attacks against teachers and school staff have risen sharply in Illinois over the past decade. As doctors and psychologists work to return these assault victims to the classrooms, there is growing acceptance that they may suffer more than physical injuries.

Bronx School Slash: 'Attacker' is EIGHT Years Old
Bronx, NY
An 8-year-old Bronx boy today slashed a classmate across the neck with a double-edged razor — at a school that’s already canceled graduation once because of out-of-control behavior, cops and parents said.
Police sources said the pint-sized perp told cops he brings the blade to school with him every day because some of the kids don’t like him, ABC-TV reported.
The boy snapped on the playground during lunch after feuding with his 9-year-old victim at the violence-plagued school — PS 132 in the Morrisania section — on and off for the past few days, a law-enforcement source told The Post.
The victim had yelled, “B----!” at the boy just before he was cut, sources told ABC.
The stunned 9-year-old was sliced on the back of his neck — a “deep laceration’’ just inches from an artery — shortly before noon, sources said.
He was rushed to Bronx Lebanon Hospital fewer than three blocks away, where he was received stitches and was listed in serious but stable condition.

A quick-thinking Michigan mom might have saved a life by getting her son's school locked down after he sent a text message threatening one of his teachers.
The 14-year-old was caught near his Pontiac school Tuesday afternoon -- armed with a loaded .357 handgun -- after his mom reported the text, which read, "I need you to come get me. I'm about to straight up off this teacher dead in his face. He pissed me off. I'm so serious," myFOXdetroit.com reported.
The student had been at trouble at his school -- Great Lakes Academy -- earlier in the day.

Rape Reported at North Central High School
Indianapolis, IN
After revelations of a reported rape at North Central High School, school officials said they are cooperating with the police investigation and insist the school system “continually engages in careful supervision” of students.
But on April 9, police said, an 18-year-old boy at the school reportedly forced a 16-year-old girl to perform various sex acts with him. The boy, Danny Roads, 18, who officials said was developmentally disabled, forced the other teen into an empty classroom, where the incident allegedly took place, according to court documents.
A teacher overheard other students talking about the incident and confronted them, then upon hearing the allegations immediately reported what she had learned to school administrators, who then talked with the teen girl, then informed an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer working at the school of the allegations.

Vallejo Police Confirm Student with Loaded Gun Arrested at Vallejo High School
Vallejo, CA
A Vallejo High School student was found carrying a loaded handgun this past week, police confirmed Sunday.
