Parent’s influence or teacher?

you may or may not want to use this as an arth ping.

Not sure if the school taught them to do this as of yet.

I’m wondering as a bunch of students turned out.

Well, at least the Middle Schooler Manned Up and admitted they did it.

However, I’d bet the farm that an ADULT provided the 2x4 and the Socialist brainwashing behind throwing it. ;)

Use the spotlight down at headquarters to see if you can flip the kid(s) involved to give up parents...teachers...etc.

I wonder what kind of kids did this? What is their upbringing? Are they being taught there are no consequences to their actions?

I would say both. These things usually work in tandem.

Kicked out of school and sent to juvenile prison if they’re 13 or over. Revisit the case when they’re 18.

That will stop this #### quickly.

My mom told me of the time FDR came to their town. The school kids were lined up and told to wave as he went by. No rocks or anything was thrown.

What a difference today when school kids were upset when Reagan was not killed.

You can bet on it. You are always on at least one camera now. I hope that they include the teacher and parent[s] in the charges. You can rest assured that the acorn did not fall far from the tree in this case.
