How can someone have 39 encounters with law enforcement and still be able to pass the background check.
The fact that he was never arrested for all the above allowed him to pass the background check.
Generally speaking if it's not a criminal offense for teens they will always look for other options.
The problem is this guy was not skilled in how to handle social issues with the students at that school. Fitting in is difficult for most and there is always the hierarchy to contend with in every school. They arrested another 18 yr old last week who was reported for bringing a gun to school because he was so fearful of classmates. Kids have NO protection fro bullies and aggressive kids at school...none. Teachers cannot intervene so the kids are often used and abused.
