[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?

I'm with you. I wouldn't expect an 8th grader to know exactly what to do. He did pretty good.

The officials who put that camera there are either grossly overstepping your child's right to privacy (the big brother best case scenario) or they're just plain criminal weirdos (the worst case sex offender scenario).

Either way, your son was right to bring it to your attention in any way he could think of.

Good luck teaching the adults a lesson.
