The Augusta Chronicle
A mother and her daughter were arrested after assaulting two students of T. W. Josey High School. earlier that day, the daughter was involved in a fight with the two students. The students were suspended. One was walking home with her 65-year old grandfather when the mother and daughter duo pulled up in a car driven by the mother's boyfriend. The mother, daughter and boyfriend got out and assaulted the girl. They then approached the second girl and assaulted her as she was walking home. Both assaults occurred on school property.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the boyfriend.
Analysis
There are two points for schools to consider in this story. First, do you have a procedure for ensuring the safety of students who are leaving your school after an altercation? Second, what procedures does your school have in place for dealing with the combatants in the office while you sort things out? The children involved in a fight do not always let it go while awaiting punishment in the office. The continuation of the fight on the office can lead to injured students, school personnel and/or damaged property.

Victims of Bullying More Likely to Bring Weapon to School
Red Orbit
A report presented to the Pediatric Academic Societies in Vancouver, Canada states that teens who have been repeatedly victimized are 31 times more likely to bring a weapon to school than those who have not been victimized.
Researchers used the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System from the CDC to track if they had been harassed, and if they had brought a weapon onto school property.
Study author Dr. Lana Shapiro of the Cohen's Children Medical Center of New York, has called for greater efforts to reduce bullying in all of its forms.
Analysis
Schools should, as part of their security audits, include climate surveys. They should particularly include students in these surveys. If the student perception of safety is different than the staff perception, this could be a sign of a disconnect. Rapport -building with the student body can be instrumental in developing the trust between students and staff that can lead to information on dangerous behavior being brought to light before a disgruntled student makes a life-altering decision.

– a nationwide representative survey of greater than 15,000 US high
school students carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and
