Students at Spokane High School were asked to choose right when using electronics and social media.  On October 5, 2021, the Honorable Judge Laura Johnson, Prosecuting Attorney Amy Fite, and Juvenile Officers William McCrimmons and Andy Silliman spoke to Spokane High School about electronic and social media choices and the consequences of those choices.

The presentation included information about bullying and sexual harassment and the  possible civil consequences to schools and parents, the crimes that can be committed with electronics and the consequences, and the way cases are referred and the role of the juvenile office.  Students were encouraged to be kind to one another.   Students were encouraged to think about the long lasting, detrimental impact their actions have on others.  Information was shared about the potential consequences they can face if they don’t choose right.  Students were encouraged to report if they have been a victim and if the first person they tell does not help to keep telling.     

If you suspect a person under the age of 18 is a victim of child abuse or neglect please call the Missouri Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline at 1-800-392-3738. 

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which first began in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as a Day of Unity.  Domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every race, religion, culture and status.
