A person on another site posted a section of the rule book for Safety Officers in this particular program (Safety Officers are volunteers and not law enforcement). The rules say that Safety Officers are not to get involved in violent incidents, and that police are supposed to handle fights and other violence.
I believe it was in NJ (?) where a principal was arrested for assault when grabbed a student in order to prevent a fight.
Regardless of the circumstances, it would be stupid to ever touch a student.
“Regardless of the circumstances, it would be stupid to ever touch a student.”
Exactly. That’s why you see these silly videos of little kids or special-ed children getting handcuffed by the police. The teachers aren’t allowed to touch the kids, and must call the police if they can’t sweet-talk the little miscreants into behaving.
