The case of a suburban Chicago teen who killed himself after being confronted about whether he made a video of himself having sex with a classmate raised questions about how aggressively school officials should question kids suspected of wrongdoing.
The case of a suburban Chicago teenager who killed himself after being confronted at his high school about whether he made a video of himself having sex with a classmate raised uncomfortable questions about how aggressively school officials should question kids suspected of wrongdoing and whether they should wait until a parent arrives.
As of August, a parent, guardian, family lawyer or designated advocate must be present before police can begin questioning students at school who are younger than 18 and suspected of crimes, unless they pose an imminent threat.“The Corey Walgren story hits at every single parent’s heart,” Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, who introduced the legislation, said Friday. “We need to recognize that the brains of young people are not fully developed and they need to be dealt with differently....
Although Wood concluded officials hadn’t broken the law, she said that determination shouldn’t be construed as condoning how they dealt with Corey, especially telling him he could be charged and may have to register as a sex offender. The judge said child pornography was not found on the teen’s phone as suspected and that officials had falsely accused him.
