The previous September, Fitzgerald's daughter, in second grade, had wandered out of her classroom, out of the school, and had gone missing for three hours. No one at the school noticed or reported the event. Fitzgerald reported the incident. He met with the principal and the teacher, in the principal's office the next day. He talked to the school principal, Anu Ebbe, in person, several times, about it and lax security. After Fitzgerald was arrested, a school official claimed, in a public meeting, that Fitzgerald had never complained to the school previously.

Explains a lot.
I wouldn't have gone about it this way, but he isn't wrong about the situation.
A week after Sandy Hook, I saw about 20 police vehicles sitting by an off-ramp on an interstate in Arvada, Colorado. Just sitting there at a speed trap.
When I got home, I called Arvada PD and chewed them out with, "There were just 20-plus kids erased in a school, and your officers are just lounging around trying to increase revenue?!"
Didn't take long for a lot of Colorado's law enforcement to start parking in school parking lots to do their paperwork. Just to have a presence there is a deterrent.

They would have been just as P.Oed at him if he had formally withdrew his child from their tutelage. Probably more so and further reaching for reducing the schools big fat check from the state. Now the case is officially over and none of the school admin got fired or even so much as docked in pay so all is good now.

The schools could start handing out free doughnuts to visiting police officers. That should do the trick.
