Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Possibly. You should probably inquire with your local law enforcement agency.
"Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself."
Bonus points for anyone who knows from where that quote derives.
yes

Do you think the nets should be lower for girls?
I'm not an expert on child behavior, nor on bullying. There is likely a lot of research on the topic that you can find via Google. I'd treat it all with a serious grain of salt though. A lot (most?) research is funded by groups with specific goals in mind.
I can tell you from my exeprience, which is not scientific at all and should not be taken as such, that behavior is largely learned. Kids imitate what they see, so both bullies AND victims are largely learned behavior. Unfortunately, many parents, schools and even society is teaching people that being a victim is morally superior than standing up for one's self. Sad really.
Sure.
No. If you believe the officer handles the incident in an improper manner, you can request to speak to his/her supervisor.
