Tom, I would contact a lawyer.

Failing that the media would be all over this. Though your daughter might have to change schools if you went that route so it might not be in her best interest to do this.

>A girl that was hacked at my daughter (6th grade) and a friend went to the school guidance person and told them that my daughter and friend had pot on them. They got local law enforcement dragged by daughter out of class and searched her. To make matters worse a male officer searched my daughter along with the male school offical. No females were present. AFTER the search (which turned up nothing) they took some of my daughters property (a diary) and would not give it back to her. The school offical then sat down, again AFTER the search was completed, and read her diary. AND ALL OF THIS BASED ON THE WORD OF ONE OTHER STUDENT.

>Now I perhaps might understand the search if the claim was that she had a gun, knife, bomb or something that could hurt someone. But this is just not right. When I called the local officials office they claim that the word of one student is sufficient probable cause. I just don't buy it.

>So what do you think? What would you do?
