Commotion in sainsburys dulwich (school kids)

[sweetgirl]

Just witnessed school kids getting cuffed and searched at Sainsbury's dog kennel hill. Not sure why....

It looks like a passing pedestrian has then been walking & collapsed having a seizure. Police were in attendance.

Hope all ends well

It wouldn't be the first time school children have been arrested at Sainsbury's since Charter opened.

Well they'll have some explaining to do to their parents and will have a story for the playground on Monday morning. Which ever school it is, sure not to be impressed.

Lol cause William Penn was so much better before it...

Cuffing children?

That's extreme.

[vic.ham]

There was a mugging in the carpark around that time.

In the US (TV shows anyway) the schools have an attached police officer who deals with child incidents.

You would be surprised at what they can be like- especially when they see a uniform. After all a lot of them feel they have something to prove to their mates- I've been in Starbucks when they are there and most of them are the size of fully grown adults.

JohnL, Charter has a dedicated police officer but he doesn?t follow children into Sainsbury?s...

LOL - thats what happens when your experience is TV shows (no experience of schools whatsoever)

I've seen the officer, he hangs outside the chicken shop with the kids!

[alice]

Where else should he be?

[Romnarz]

Why charter? we have a large population children at the 'wonderful' private schools. Statistically more likely to be them ?

[pearl1]

Actually, it was a fairly large group of Charter kids. Looked like year 10's. I was going to get a coffee but they were so lary in Starbucks,I left.

I don't understand how first poster mentioned a commotion and 2nd poster identified Charter pupils as being responsible.

Not sure what I missed, but how does first post identify or specify Charter - or did both posters witness the commotion and one of them identified Charter pupils at that time ?

Just to clarify they were charter pupils.

I also took a few pics which I haven't shared.

These are no doubt children of parents who can possibly try & justify this by using the race card.

I spoke to a pupil I know in charter & she recognises them from her school.

I don't know what took place prior to the police arriving but I am sick & tired of police being blamed for doing their jobs!

This is purely my opinion & I refuse to get into a huge debate about my opinion

I myself am a person of colour!

BTW, I can't see how the second poster has said they were charter pupils!

[carlafindle]

yawn.

Hardly ridiculous that anti-social behaviour has increased around Sainsbury's and the immediate area around East Dulwich station since Charter opened nearby after school.

I'm not against the school being located where it is, but there are clear issues around behaviour of pupils once school ends which needs to be addressed when they all finally return to school later this year.
