Are you all that anal-retentive; you keep pointing out that the money use is not from donated funds. which in by itself is fine, however if i give you money to help pay your bills and you use your own money to go shopping.. It does not matter that they are using there own tax generated money, is of little consequence; if they have not first taken care of the home front first and foremost. If you beg or take donated money in any regards you open yourself to outside forces that now can comment on how your using your money. Cause if you had the money for this then we never should have given you money in the first place! If we never gave you money could you have had the money to do this now?

It does not matter what country your from; when it comes to dealing with kids and strangers it is the parents responsablity to teach and guide their children. How a child turns out has something to do with their upbringing( not solely but a good basis). For a child to know good judgement they have to see it at home and have been taught and explained it. If the parents dont teach it then who will TV, the Internet or maybe the schools or even better yet Strangers.

If its true then its true... i hate when people turns a blind eye to truth or just say thats just the way its. every time you do that your placing stamp of approval. if its wrong its wrong and you need to speek up. everytime you ignore it it will only get worse. a goverments job is to server and protect not to rule in feer or to control. they are people we trust and believe in and when they lose that trust its time for them to go!

This Teacher is wrong dead in all areas. The Principle and the rest of the facility of this school are just as bad as in they new or they had enough info to surmise what might be happening and turned a blind eye to it they need to be severely reprimanded so this will never happen again (and telling me I am sorry means nothing so they need to stop and start doing something about the situation before it becomes worse). as for the little girl I know this will draw some anger but it has to be said she does not have a clear grasp on right and wrong (her parents and family has not taught it to her for whatever reason). she got in a car with and older man and went somewhere you are not a child at 11 you are a pre-teen there are things that you should have learned that I don't think a lot of younger children are bean taught because families are a lot more chaotic than they use to be the strong nucleus is no longer there so a lot is been left open. She is the victim as a lot of other children but not just by this predator. which is often time where it ends, but it begins at home and precipitated at school and the community. so we are letting are children down by not given them the tools to live healthy mental lives. They must learn right from wrong and be equipped with the ability to make choices.
If this trend continues our society will only get worse and we will turn a whole generation of reprobated individuals

no one or thing is perfect, there will be people that were good that have turn bad do to temptation. he and they could have been really good people before they got caught up in the wrong thing.. and as humans when we are not aware of ourselves and where we are going it is quite easy to get caught up in things.. as we sometimes say go with the flow.

This is almost laughable to see how these females are condemned to your stupidity. If anyone comes up to me with our proper identification I will not listen to them. Now put yourself in there shoes... IF this was your wife or daughter how would you feel if some strange men came up to them and flash a badge asking for the passport. They did the right thing trying to go over to the counter and get help. I would tell them to make a huge fuss even if they have to call in reinforcements/backup that’s fine. Maybe one of them will speak English and get to the matter of this. Again no undercover office should ever be doing passport check to a foringe national. It has happen in the state with worst affect where a poet from the UK was receiving an award was assaulted by an undercover cop and was hurt. I think that many of this stems not from language barrier but who is being hired to become officers and the training they are getting. Not the brightest or the best become police and the training is a joke. (Side note many of the officers do get off on the power of it all.) I think they have simple forget the first thing about becoming an officer/police there job is to server and protect all.
The is a wrong way and right way force should be a last resort. Matters not if they could not speak there tongue the officers should have either took them to the counter or phone for backup of someone that could speak there tongue. And to anyone that says its not there job, then whose job is it to uphold the moral and high standers if not our officers.
