 Alert | Does anyone have any information regarding the assault that occurred in the Maricopa High School parking lot before school on Thursday October 18?
My son told me that three "youths" dressed in red raced a vehicle into the school parking lot and violently assualted a student walking to class. One of the "youths" kicked the victim in the face as he lay on the ground.
Apparently there were several witnesses who went for help from school authorities and the police, fire department, and ambulences were there shortly thereafter.
The school has yet to return my call and I've seen nothing on the news.

Alert | Interesting...
That kind of stuff needs to be Killed right away!. Next, it will be a drive by shooting. The kids that drove into the school must not go to the high school.
I hope the police don't let this one slide and follow through! | |
Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

Alert | I agree with Sinbad, whats next drive by shootings? A student in the wrong place at the wrong time? Forget it! Never in a million years would I send my child to that school!
What is the upside? Acedemics? Opportunity? Socialization? No, no and no. Someone please tell me if I have missed something. | | | |

Alert | | Bio: No, you have missed NOTHING!!!!!!! Sinbad: I agree all of this gang or non related BS needs to be handled more aggressively. This needs to be defused ASAP! I pulled my kids for this reason. Similar situations occured with both my 12 1/2 yr old and my 8 year old. I take NOTHING lightly as I was told to do by MUS. Where are the freakin parents??? The kids involved in the beating/attack need to go to Juvi and the parents also need to be held accountable in some way! (Community Service) If the attackers are over the age 14 I believe they can be charged as adults, especially since this was aggr. assult. I hope the courts do try them as adults and this I also believe is a felony. NO MERCY! TENT CITY all the way. They better be glad I am not the judge they are facing, because I would have them wearing PINK! Pinal needs to take and make these individuals examples and plaster it all over the local new and papers! Send em to JOE! | |

Alert | | Rather than lock the attackers up and throw away the key, lets remember to take into consideration that this would not have happened at all if the school had taken a pro-active approach to the problems rather than a re-active approach. Changes need made on the campus, tighter security, discipline intact and the youth would know that this behavior would not be tolerated. If not for this forum this incident would have gone unnoticed. My son told me that they did not even lock the school down, any form of violence should be reacted to by a lock down, this will enable to keep the kids in an area where their is complete supervision, by doing this the school could possibly have prevented the other fight where a young lady was taken out by an ambulance from ever taking place on that very same day. | | | |

You can't say this would not have happened at all, because it already has to other places that have in place pro-active approachs. It would help to have it don't get me wrong but, it won't totally prevent it from happening. Do what? Someone else was hurt the same day? You are right, the schools do need to implement pro-active approaches, however, they are not and it has already escalated. All they have left to do with the incident at hand is to react at this point. As for the lock down, wow, they really need to have a game plan in force so they are not always caught with their pants down endangering the lives of youngsters! Do MUS practice with the students lock down drills? The schools also need more than 1 school resource officer floating among how many schools???? I know the force is slowly building and when they are better staffed with LE officers, hopefully they will appoint more school resource officers. I just hope it does not cost a student or teacher's life in the mean time. Once they do have more LE assigned to the schools they need to have lock down drills at the schools to prepare the children, God forbid they would have to utilize it. Remember when life was simpler and all we had to worry about were fire, tornado, and earth quake drills! Geesh! | |

Alert | There are two SRO now. One is over MS and the Elementary schools - the other is over the HS.
So, is this the attack for which there was an alleged retaliation at last night's Homecoming game, in the parking lot, with a gun involved, that Whitchurch did nothing about and dismissed as rumor? | | | |

Pulling your kids out of the school doesn't solve the problem it only covers it up. One person or one team can not change things. It takes the everyone wanting to see the change and doing something about it. Sure there will be the few incidents but get real they will never completely stop.
If you don't like what is happening then get involved. Get everyone involved.
Yank and run doesn't solve the problem. | |

Alert | I'm sure everyone wants change. I'm sure there is a board that can have some affect on the problems. Go to them and voice your concerns.
Yank and running is a viable option when your childs safety is a concern. | | | |

First, NO! it doesn't happen at every school! Are you kidding me?!
Second, YES, yes it does solve the problem for the peson leaving the school. I don't care if the rest of the town wants their kid in a free for all every week day, thats their decision. I am no activist; my responsibility is first to my family, their health and safety comes before picking up the ball that every other students parent has dropped. | | | |

BIO: Well put and I totally agree! I removed both of my children due to their safety. My daughter was being threatened due to the clothes she wore and how small she is. As for my son, I did go to the pricipal and voice my concerns. My 8 yr. old should not have to worry about gang affiliation at such a young age. He is young and innocent and I would like for his youth not to be violated or robbed thank you very much! So, I don't call what I did yank and run! I took the parent concern and lets try to change and my concerns fell on deaf ears! There you have it! | |

Alert | Bio I agree that it does solve the problem, the school has turned into a battle ground and who wants their children in a dangerous place. The school needs to stop covering up the problems, become pro-active in their approach to handle the problems before they get more out of hand than they already are and the kids need held responsible for their actions.
To my knowledge their are three security guards between the middle and high school, not properly trained but friends of employees at the school and one SRO officer on the high school campus, this could be a big part of the problem. | | | |

Alert | Um...I'm going to need a tad more information.
I'm not going to say the thugs don't deserve a few months in juvy because they do and be beaten every day they are there. But it doesn't sound far off from when I was pulled in to a bathroom by 3 a-holes and beat to a pulp and that was 1989. How has high school got got any better or any worse?
"Never in a million years would I send my kids to that school" I hate to break it to you, but yes, it does happen in EVERY school in EVERYTOWN, USA. I'm sorry If that bursts your Utopian bubble. I really am amazed at how naive/stupid some parents really are. | | | |

Alert | Exactly and not only does it happen everywhere it mostly goes unreported. As much as you think that the kids are telling their parents what happening at school. Get real. They don't.
Absolutely nothing will change till parents get involved. So if you want to continue to send your kids to a different school in a different city no less then there really is no right for anyone to be complaining. And we're not even going to mention what that does to the budget monies.
All that is being taught to the kids is to run away from the problem. Personally I think that more is taught to the kids by the parents getting involved and attempt to fix the problem. Sure it my not get fixed right away but over time it will and that is the best lesson that any child could ever learn. | |

No, no, no. You are the naive one my friend. I can list for you the number of places we have lived (with children in school) and never experienced anything like what these people are posting about. I'm not sure where you have chosen to live in the past but what is happening here is NOT the norm or even close to it! However, is this is how you are justifying keeping your children in this district for an education, then keep your head right where it is and good luck to you. | | | |
