    Having a small amount of proof (i.e. evidence) against you isn’t enough to go to juvie, duh, but it’s enough to get the courts involved. The school handling this internally was a mistake, once child porn and sex crimes are happening it’s time to call the cops.

        I thought the police were only contacted after the fight? There’s interviews where the principle says that he basically was ignoring it because “kids lie a lot” and, while some of the girls went to the police, I don’t think the school itself actually did.

        No one’s phones even got confiscated at first, which absolutely should have happened before it escalated to this point.
