More Quotes from Christine Link:
There is nothing in Ohio law that authorizes school personnel to remove the clothing of children. Strip searches far exceeded the authority or even need in this case.Christine Link
What happened to these students is a travesty. The school had no right to conduct these searches.
Christine Link
The school had several opportunities to prevent this situation. They could have called the police to report the theft, they could have let the two young women check their vehicles to confirm they did not leave the items in them and they could have called parents to inform them of the thefts and any action they were considering. The administration did none of those things, instead choosing to humiliate and violate 20 teenagers by conducting intrusive illegal searches.
