BERKELEY COUNTY, W.Va. - The Berkeley County Board of Education has filed a lawsuit against Amber Pack, the mother of Adri Pack.

Back in October, Amber Pack placed a recording device in Adri's hair after she noticed bruises when she came home from Berkeley Heights Elementary School. According to Ben Salango, Pack's attorney, the Board of Education is claiming the recording is illegal and should be excluded from evidence in the case.

Yes but there are exceptions when someone believes something illegal is going on or about to occur. Two party consent doesnt protect criminal activity. If you think its going to happen or is happening you can record for evidence.

“There are ways to deal with these abusive thugs”

Yeah there are-in my Latino family it is just venganza-perfectly acceptable. One of my uncles used to clarify that as “things done in the dark of night”...

This mom did the right thing-and I admire her restraint for not doing something in the dark of night-I would not have been able to resist...

Agreed. No way evidence like a recording of public school abuse is going to not be allowed. The BOE does not enjoy 4th protection. IMO.
So if there was a video recording of a teacher beating a student would in not be allowed? Or how about a shooting?

Maybe if you’d just said.....Private School....Christian.....

You would’ve had a lot more in agreement.

I’m not excusing the assinine replies to you, just making a suggestion....that includes ALL private Christian education as a better alternative, for Christians, than secular/public education.

“There are ways to deal with these abusive thugs. Out of sight, out of the eyes of others, with loyal friends who know how to keep their mouths shut. If you get my drift.”

Oh yes.

“WA is a 2 party consent State.”

But West Virginia is one party.

There is very little information here so don’t rush to judgement.

The audio “may be disturbing to some”. Working with a special needs child in not easy.

Berkeley County Prosecuting Attorney Catie Wilkes Delligatti along with investigators reviewed the eight hour audio recording, and said while they can’t prove that any abuse or neglect occurred that created a risk of death or bodily injury, she is “not in any way condoning the verbal treatment of your children by the individuals in their classroom.” She adds, West Virginia law states that verbal abuse of children is not a criminal act.

Most of what I hear was just talking to child to engage the child. but take the time to listen before deciding.

It’s West Virginia, which is one party consent.

I will add that there is a possibility the abuse occurred at home and this is an effort to distract and get some money. Wait for the information before judging.

I state the above because I am aware of the lying that goes on in these situations...……………………………………….

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Only....the mom has eight hours of the recorded school room abuse.

Maybe money doesn’t have ANYTHING to dow with this....maybe it’s actually just the safety and well being of her child, when she (Mom) entrusts her child to this public school district.

So, does backhanding a child engage them? Is that an appropriate avenue of engagement, for any child, in your opinion?
