quote [ A Colorado school called the police on a 12-year-old student last month for allegedly playing with a toy gun during an art class on Zoom. He was suspended for a week and now has a record with the county sheriff’s department. ]
I guess we could call it a win cuz he's still alive.

I imagine the school has enrollment records, and contact information for all students and their parents. Do you think the more prudent thing to do was call the house and speak to the parents, completely removing law enforcement or welfare workers from the equation entirely? Or maybe just ask the kid what he's playing with? "Where'd you get the gun, junior?"
If this were in person schooling, the teacher would walk over and see that it was a toy gun. C19 has changed that and it's akin to calling the cops before finding out if the kid has a real gun during recess.
But I don't know what kind of liability teachers have during zoom classes or what the protocol is for when and if a kid brings a toy or real gun to school. Maybe they just run and hide in the principals office and call 911, regardless. /shrug

What we do know for sure is that this kid will remember this "event" forever, on top of it being on his record. That's really fucked.
