Once that starts happening, kids disappearing from secure areas inside or out, then keeping track of all of them would be impossible. Some people are incredibly self-centered anyway. When given an oportunity to shine during one of these events to a self person it akin to having hollywood calling. Get all dolled up for the media present. Flap could tell us more than I on this. He is inside everyday............like a corrections officer somedays I'm sure. I think overall it went well. Thier was one problem with what bomb squad was in charge. The partner town in this I guess always calls the MBTA bomb squad and we call the S.P.'s. It is a huge friekin school.

Parents are not allowed access to thier kids when evacuation is nescesary. All the kids at whatever of the 6 schools we have during an incident are bussed to reunion centers off campus. Also, if this happens say at ten in the morning we hold the kids until regualr dismissal time. This does two things, one it makes it easier to account for the children during a prolonged incident and subsequent on scene investigation and two, especially at a junior or high school level the perps in a call in threat are usually among the kids retained and it often results in a solid tip leading to the perp because the other kids are pissed off that they had to wait all day in another place, were not allowed to mingle or talk to each other or most important get out early. Deprevation of social interaction in an unfamiliar and purposely uncomfortable place of teenagers tends to get them really mad at whover was stupid enough to trigger an event an the idiot that did it will always boast and therfore always get caught. Works great.
