Reply to comment by Cameron_james in Parents, students take issue with handling of violence at Medford High School: Students walked out of class on Wednesday to protest what they described as an unsafe learning environment. by TouchDownBurrito

It seems that the student who was stabbed, thankfully, suffered only a "minor chest injury" and the student who did the stabbing was immediately taken into custody and the police won't remark on the charges which, I'd guess, is due to laws protecting children from having their criminal records exposed publicly? Maybe a lawyer could confirm.

It seems everyone in this thread is assuming that the stabber was just allowed to go back to class and the police weren't involved, but like, when someone gets stabbed, the police get involved. I don't see anything about the stabber getting released from custody and/or returning to class in this article or any of the ones linked from it.

I think the primary issue at hand is that someone got stabbed at school.

I would guess that that's the primary issue that the students and parents are talking about, yes.

However the top comment chain here on reddit is about what outrageous it is to not punish the kid and "this is what happens when you defund police", which is completely unfounded outrage based on OP's link because the kid was, in fact, taken into custody by the police.
