They’re strip-searching children at school
Strip searches in schools traumatize kids over minor offenses I could just feel eyes on me. I never forgot that feeling of just standing there almost disgusted with myself. Stephanie A 13-year-old at Memorial Park Middle School who was strip searched after being suspected of having a vape. A school police officer lifted up Stephanie's shirt and bra, exposing her breasts in front of the male principal, Stephanie said. How could they even do this? I actually thought it was illegal. Kristen Yeckley She claims her daughter was forced to take off all her clothes by a school aide looking for a vape. When her daughter asked if she could put her bra back on, the aide told her to wait. She was left alone, nearly naked, while the aide went outside to talk to the principal, according to court filings. The cases show a power imbalance when an adult in a position of authority demands a child remove clothing or expose themselves. The cases examined by Bloomberg Law show a pattern of schools not getting parents' permission before strip searching their children. In five, the children were told no when they asked to talk to a parent. Kids are taught to be suspicious of adults who want them to take off their clothes, said Josh Gupta-Kagan, director and founder of the Family Defense Clinic at Columbia Law School. "Even 7-year-olds have a strong sense of their bodily integrity," he said.

These cases highlight the intersections of family policing, the criminal legal system, and the inherent violence of mandated reporting.

Movement journalism isn't just a nice thing to have: It's essential to expose injustice, uplift movements, and share visions for our collective futures.

Amazing @femmfeministe.bsky.social and I wrote about why resourcing journalism is important, especially right now!
