Castle Rock Recommends Charges Against Students
Getting children involved with the system is the wrong answer. There are other far more productive means of handling kids when this kind of thing happens.
Rocky Mountain NewsCastle Rock police are recommending that criminal charges be filed against 11 high school students who ingested the prescription painkiller oxycodone at school earlier this month.
Castle Rock Police Chief Tony Lane says one student accused of bringing the drug to Castle View High School on Feb. 8 and giving it to others should face felony charges of distributing a controlled substance, according to KUSA Channel 9 news report.
Lane said the students who ingested the drug could be charged with possession of a controlled substance.

My God, what a terrible idea. I know the kids won't understand it and I don't know if the police in Castle Rock don't understand or don't care about the long term implications of having this incident become a matter of record. Even if the kids are charged and nothing comes of it, the incident is something they will always be obligated to disclose if asked in conjunction with the application for a security clearance, national agency check, etc. This is ludicrous.
