It'd be interesting to know how they come up with their responses to bullying. Is it the kind of thing each province or school board comes up with independently, or is the central guidance?

Yeah, Lemmy seems weirdly limited in that respect.
Thanks for providing the links!
Could you provide a link back to where you found it? The name is on there, which is great, but a link makes it easier to find that exact source.
I'm saying that the school should have removed the bullies from the victims environment regardless of police involvement.
The cops definitely should have been called, but blaming everything on them ignores a clear failure by the school.
It's highly likely the school would have suspended the student if the cops had charged her with harrassment in the first place.
The school shouldn't have waited.
There are undoubtedly other kids getting bullied that need intervention from the school. Ignoring the school's failure here just enables that shit.
The cops fucked up too, there's no question of that. But the school failed its responsibilities too.
at least being charged gets them into the system where a judge can rule they need psychiatric assessment and treatment
The accused was already undergoing treatment over the summer.
Even if she was charged, she'd presumably continue going to the same school until a court date.
That wouldn't have helped the victim.
Cops washing their hands of the whole thing was stupid, and a failure to care for the whole community.
The school and school board has the same responsibility and more tools available. The cops can, at best, lay charges and hope the courts handle the case in time. The school doesn't need to go through a legal process, administrators can transfer, reprimand, or expel the accused with less overhead.
Why would you just want the girls transferred to another school where they could begin threatening a different student?
I don't want that, but it's a minimally invasive tool to get the killer kid away from potential victims. There's no guarantee she would start threatening others in a new school. At the very least it would have kept the victim safer.
It sounds like the accused needed to be in a psychiatric institution, but those don't really exist any more.
It would be the last thing the Trump admin does. The US would quickly succumb to civil war as every member of NATO and Canada's military partners swarm to defend it and the rebelling US states. The US, as it stands today, would effectively be destroyed.
I don't think the world is that altruistic.
Americans tend to do what they're told, so I wouldn't expect anything other than thoughts and prayers from within the US. Sure, there would be a Million Maple March in Washington, but nothing would come of it.
I doubt our NATO partners would rush to put their soldiers in harms way. The US is a nuclear superpower that says it's their ally - that's both a carrot and stick getting them to sit out. I don't think they've even offered much condemnation of Trump's "51st state" comments.
Is it really a police responsibility in this case?
The school seemed to know the attacker was in psychiatric care, was aware of the text messages, was aware of their previous vandalism, but still chose to keep the attacker in the same school as the victims.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the school board to have moved the attacker to a different school?
This is terrifying. It sounds like the burned kid's parents did everything they were supposed to, but the school let them down.
But what I started to see here, is that people like to share the most greedy ad and trackers filled news sources.
Can you provide examples?
Via Reddit, of course.
