This raised red flags for me. Any adult in a position of authority over children is specifically told in training, not to be one-on-one with a child of either sex in a room with a closed door. Are we to believe that in this climate, the school didn't give the officer the same training?
I'd sooner believe that a dog furiously licking its lips was *not* responsible for the disappearance of the missing sandwich on the table.
What Osan said in post #107.
I've been in closed door situations with "school resource officers" on quite a few occasions. Even when I was very young, 10 or 11. The door was always closed. Nothing happened more than simple threats and stern talking but regardless, it is very inappropriate for that to occur. In fact, any contact with law enforcement should have, at the minimum, a parent present and I'd possibly argue a lawyer as well. Kids aren't aware of what they can and can't say and are manipulated rather easily into confessing to things they did not do. They don't understand the legal ramifications of their words, either.
I remember when I was about 13-14 in high school. They transformed a janitor's closet into a makeshift interrogation room complete with a table and a few chairs. Called me out of class and walked me there/kept me there for a couple of hours. Me, the principal, and a probation officer who acted as the school resource officer (though I wasn't, nor was I ever on probation). When I left the impromptu unlawful detainment, as I was simply walking back to class, I was attacked from behind and slammed into the lockers. A girl I knew witnessed it all and they threatened her that she better get back to class.
I only offer this as a testament to what they do. Simply in my high school years I've seen them choke people with batons, slam people, etc. It wasn't that rare. If at all possible, do not put your kids in their schools. If it isn't the resource pig, it's the recruitment station, if it isn't that, it's the teachers teaching a false narrative of history, if it isn't that, it's the simple atmosphere created, killing creativity, offering a sense of hopelessness, and churning out bullies partially as the result.
