Boy Beaten by Guardian in School Office

Safe Havens International

A 12-year old student got into trouble at Hale Junior High in Tulsa, OK, and his guardian was called to the school.

She was buzzed in while hiding an axe handle and some cable behind her leg.  Upon reaching the boy in the school office, she assaulted him with the axe handle and cable.  School police had to pull her off of the boy, who was left with welts and bruises on his arms.  The boy has been removed from the woman's home, and she was arrested and charged with felony child abuse.

Analysis
Without knowing all the facts in the case, it is unknown what level of training the office personnel had received in the use of their electronic access system.  It is important to note that visual weapons screening, and training in pattern-matching and recognition is a necessary addition to any training for electronic access.  Such systems are only as good as the people who implement them, and the training they receive.
