Batavia Police responded to an incident at Batavia High School on Thursday involving a student allegedly hitting a teacher.
The student -- who, because of his age, the police cannot release his name -- got into a confrontation with a teacher and hit her in her body. Other adults on staff got involved in restraining the student, according to Det. Todd Crossett.
The case will likely be referred to the County Attorney's office and will wind up in Family Court.
In connection with the incident a drawing by the student was found that depicted something that Crossett characterized as "an unrealistic scenario."
"It wasn't a picture that showed him using guns, or something that could be possible," Crossett said. "It showed unrealistic things. I'm not necessarily going to take it as, 'I'm going to do these things.' It wasn't a threat to anybody in the school or the school (facility)."
Because of the age of the youth, Crossett said there will be no releases from the police department on the disposition of the case. Family Court cases are closed to the public.
Maybe it was a picture of
Maybe it was a picture of another student making obscene phone calls. Oh, they said it wasn't a likely senario. My bad. I'm not sure why they won't release the student's name, because it's already all over Batavia from the lips of the rest of the students who attend the school, DUH!
Legally, they can't release
Legally, they can't release the name. No choice.
In the old days nobody would
In the old days nobody would know. I like the old days because nobody needs to know what growing up is all about except the individual struggling to make it happen, and his parents. They know all too well and they are trying to deal with it. Still, I love you Howard because I can tell you love Batavia too.
I've spoke with several
I've spoke with several students, and none of them heard about the incident. It's too bad Family Court is so untouchable, in my opinion, there should be media allowed to follow up on these family court cases. The cases could be covered without reporting names of defendants, or victims.
The media helps keep courts honest, and defendants innocent until proven guilty.
George, did you work for CB-Foods in Oakfield?
