It wasn't his camera to remove. He should have mooned it, then called the police and a lawyer.

If the principal was either breaking district policy, and/or breaking the law, then he had every right to remove it.

I suspect that the kid stole the camera (that is what happened) took it home where mom found it, realized that junior might be on camera so she came up with a cover story and a lawsuit will be the bonus.

Or had sex with the nearest female teacher

I condone initiative, but your method would have screwed the school better.

Tough call... What Would Jackass Do?

[no camera mom]

I'm THE mom....and I agree with you. I, as an adult would've known the best course of action...to go home, alert the adult and let the adults handle the issue. Had he thought like an adult, the school wouldn't have had grounds for suspension.

As you know, this is an 8th grader. He wasn't actually the child that took the camera down. However, since his mom is in the news business and active within the community, he took the camera to someone he KNEW would address the problem! I give my children privacy in the bathroom, shouldn't the school?
