SERIOUS ADVICE NEEDED
« on: March 13, 2008, 01:37:48 PM »
Let me explain what has happened today.
We live in Houston and my daughter is a counselor at a Pasadena (suburb of Houston) school called the Summit. It is a school for youths that have been banned from other Pasadena Schools---BAD kids, Jr Hi through High School.
There are two police officers stationed at the school---REAL police.
My daughter has lunch duty alone most of the times as teachers get a duty free lunch break.
Lots of students are gang members.
Today she disciplined a student and did so in front his friends. He threatened her with his gang because she dissed him. It is a brown gang. The police officers intervened but these are hardened gang members---tattoos and records of arrest. This young man is in school on probation from a previous arrest.
She cannot carry a weapon on school property, which includes the parking lot.
The police leave at 4PM before she gets out of school.
I have cautioned her too be aware of her surrounding and if she feels she is being followed to drive too the police station.
Any other advice??
Blessings

Can she carry mace? The only other thing she could do is learn some type of fighting skills if needed. If I were you in this situation I would urge her to find another job.

I think finding another job would be best but if nothing else she should have a couple male coworkers walk her to her car. Dale

Ditto: What Dale said.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Having some one walk her to her car is good.
the problem is the guy she dressed down is probably not the one to watch, he has friends.
she needs to be careful going to the grocery store or wal-mart.
I don't mean to try and scare her but real is real.
I think tiring to transfer to another school would be best.
Having the police stay until all teachers leave would be go if they are being threatend.

What ever she does she needs to do it fast.  Before she becomes another statistic.

Thanks guys, for all the good replies.
She is undecided and I am making plans too be at school before she leaves---good thing about being retired.
I WILL be armed--too heck with the rules.
Next week is Easter (spring) break and that is good. Perhaps it will cool down---but I am not going too just let it slide---I will be there.

Just be sure the only person that knows you have a gun is you. Dale

You understand that if there is any kind of problem of any sort and you are found to be armed you are in big, big trouble, and, by extension, your daughter.
The cops and the school should be made aware that the student has made threats against her.

The police are aware of the threat.
At my age what do I care if I am in trouble--you need too do what you need too do.
I really doubt that I will come under scrutiny. It is a school built within a commercial development and the parking lots are public.

I would also be VERY careful about what I said on the internet if I was you. Just a word of advice.

Unless the school had metal detectors I'd be packing a small concealable hand gun. It is better to be judged by 12  than carried by 6. Or else I would leave this job.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

I have three daughters and I live in the Memphis area. My daughters are all getting CCW's. I feel like most others here in that your daughter needs to find a safer job. Good luck and I'll pray for your daughters safety.
