Police strip search 15-year old in school

[shakespearegirl]

My best friend was head of safeguarding at a massive Academy in north london until a few months ago, her entire day was spent ensuring students had representation, if no parents around that’s what she’d do. No way would a student ever be strip searched by police especially pre charge and on school grounds. All kinds of wrong.

Please, stop this grandstanding. Especially on a thread like this. We already get the point.

It’s some twisted fucked up societal protection we have that visits worse moral and ethical violations on people than they are suspected of committing.

I‘ve been planning on volunteering as an appropriate adult when I relocate - this has made me even more determined. Wouldn’t have helped in this instance but kids deserve to have someone their for them when faced with ‘the law’.

When I read things like this about the Met I think of one of my nephews who joined last year. He's a lovely, kind, caring young man. I fear for what they will turn him into.

You made me think of this song, third verse.

 

[Chilli.s]

What happened here seems the opposite of that. Literally incredible. But true. How the school allowed that to happen...beyond bizarre.

Academy... Lower standards as they rinse profit out of education. Pass the responsibility down the pecking order of staff until it disappears altogether.

Not read the whole thread as I have been busy, but as someone who works with vulnerable children who often attract police attention and understands the procedures in place, this sadly does not surprise me. I have plenty of my own examples.

Sick, sick bastards. It's easy to inflict trauma and fucking hard to repair it.

Back to work.

Had the police gone to the school to interview an adult who worked there, as opposed to a child, I imagine the first thing the adult would have requested was an accompanied interview/ a witness / representation.

Had a look around and the data is real - you can download the spreadsheet direct from the Met website here:

7 boys and 2 girls aged 10-12 last year.

Somewhat misleading headline from the Indy here:

Child Q: Nationwide protests planned after police strip search Black schoolgirl

Campaigners condemn the treatment of the teenager – while critics take aim at the politicians who support police presence in schools

www.independent.co.uk

Afaict, seems to mean the Hackney demo already posted, one in Manchester, and then a few more in Hackney.

 

[Dom Traynor]

The teachers and police involved should all be fired racist cunts.

 

[likesfish]

What we're the 2 female officers thinking?? .

Prison service training covers this of course males never search females females never search males. Etc

You dont strip search juveniles especially not for a bit of weed.

The 2 police need to be facing charges hopefully the met is being sued.
As is the school thry called the police on an Innocent kid and failed in their duty of care.

Most schools in leeds in rough areas have their own coppers. Mine does. The lovely PC Groves. Who fwiw is a nice bloke who does his best. Mostly negotiates with the Asda next door to get kids warnings for shop lifting for first offences in exchange for bollickings (youngest lad). But there’s also problem with fireworks in school, drugs and some really insane fights so he sees to them too. He gave my eldest a ‘community resolution order’ once for arson (burning a hedge down) and got involved with the cuckood flat across the road. At first I was very suspicious of him but he’s an alright guy. We are white tho so different ball game.

I am so bloody glad I’m not the single mum of black boys in London. My eldest fell right into the demographic of kids that were starting to get involved in serious trouble. He did a bit of squares (and got a weekend length bollocking off me that involved him balling and protesting whilst I deleted all his social media accounts lol), that stupid ‘arson’ thing when he got a community resolution order, I had the police round showing me photos of him going to the cuckoo flat. Sailed pretty close to the wind but managed to pull him back. Being black and in London could well of changed the odds.

 

[wtfftw]

This is turning up on my tiktok now. Apparently there were really good speeches but I can't find video of that.

Tiktok video of school children protests edited because it names the school.

Another protest on Sunday I will try and be at:

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Over a thousand people turned up to the police station one yesterday apparently.

What’s squares Edie? I googled it and mostly found crisps.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Credit card fraud. Sorry to hear about all that, Edie.

 

[Edie]

What’s squares Edie? I googled it and mostly found crisps.

Credit card fraud. You get tor and go on the darkweb and buy lists of stolen cc numbers, then you go to a site like Amazon and plug em in until you find one that works. Then you get the goods delivered to a convenience store pick up, an empty address (ideally this is isn’t to an address that’s across the fucking road from you), or if you are really really fucking thick and 14 to your own address. You then flip the goods.

I should add that what you definitely should not do is hide cash or goods you clearly cannot have bought with pocket money in your room if your Mum has any sense you will suddenly find yourself living in a police state.

(Eta: the way kiddies get sucked into squares, or my lad did, is you get offered £50 to do the pickup. £50 to literally go to the corner shop and collect a parcel. You don’t know what’s in it. Then you get offered goods to sell on etc. It makes me so angry that actual fucking adults were involved as well and I know who they were. Absolute scum.)

Anyway, this is detracting from the much more serious issues of systemic racism and the abuse of black children by the state. Apologies.

No problem. You sound like a good mum, and I hope your lads are doing OK now.

Working as an apprentice, 19y, paying his taxes (well hardly as he only takes home a grand a month lol), and a good lad. Thank fuck.

Sorry for the derail. As you know, I have a 9yr old lad and don’t live a million miles from you so want to be aware of this shit. I read a book about county lines, which scared the living bejeezus out of me.

What was the book, out of interest?

What was the book, out of interest?

County Lines by Jason Farrell.

 

[Numbers]

On the BFI player on Amazon Prime Video there's a movie called County Lines, well worth a watch - it's about a 14 year old boy groomed into that life. Very powerful and superb acting.




Apols for further derail.
