Sadly the school is either unaware of some incidents or doesn't do enough to stop them. I was beaten up when I was in a lower year (about 12) by a group of older students(15 or 16) who I didn't know. I was off for the next 3 days because my leg was in to much pain to walk. I reported it to the school and never heard anything more about it. They said they would contact the police about it as well(the incident took place just off school ground). Never heard anything back from the police either. I think this lack of a response and lack of punishment for those involved is prevalent in many schools around the country and is the root cause of anti social behaviour leaving school groups and entering greater society.
Making an announcement wouldn't overly concern me. I'd be more worried about them potentially hitting the Emergency Call button on the Radio, which would bring every train in the area to a halt until it could be established that it was safe to continue.
I'm not sure how that relates to this video?
People view these videos and don't report them?
This sounds implausible to me; surely if you were beaten up the issue would be investigated? Why not chase it up, and ask your parents to chase it up if necessary? I'd also advise that anything which is reportable to the police is best reported directly by the victim.
The resources available to schools to investigate this sort of thing are low to none, and have been for some time. Unless you've got a good image of their face or willing witness, it would be a 'you said, they said' level of evidence even if you could clearly identify the attackers.
They are reported, punishments(when they are given) aren't strong enough to deter people from doing them.
While it is true that school resources are stretched, the statement was made that "people recording violent fights where people get seriously hurt and racing to be the first to post them on tik tok and instagram"; if this is happening in school then unless the footage is incredibly poor quality, it should be relatively straightforward to identify the attackers.
If there is video evidence of violent fights, this needs to be sent directly to the police as well as the school.
A parent/carer called the school and they simply didn't agree to speak to them?
I think you'd need to be a bit more specific about what you think is happening; if the suggestion is that violent fights are regularly recorded and uploaded and then nothing is done about them, I would seriously question that.
I doubt that; what I think is encouraging this sort of stuff getting online is the views and attention it gets, encouraged by the (lax) moderation and policies of organisations such as TikTok.
Sadly, stabbings and violent crimes are not merely crimes of "tomorrow" and have been around for a very long time, but this belongs in a separate thread if you wish to discuss that further (it may be worth exploring some statistics).
Just to be clear, the child in question was a volatile individual whose behaviour included throwing snowballs and hard-boiled sweets inside the train. There was nothing unusual about his appearance or his ability to comprehend. He travelled without an adult companion on his regular three-hour-long train journeys. "Problem child" is putting it kindly.
In both cases I would urge the victim (or parents, where applicable) to ensure the matter is reported to the police. A school can't prevent the police being informed; are you able to elaborate what the school said? I doubt this is commonplace and Ofsted would surely take a dim view of this if informed; if complaints are made to Ofsted, they can take action (including carrying out an immediate inspection) if appropriate.
Yes. In the event of a total failure of train controls, and the train is being propelled or driven from another cab, another driver or suitably qualified member of staff must stay in the defective cab to give shunting instructions over a secure communication link. This person must have the ability to stop the train and the ability to warn of the trains presence.
The context is that the kids are somewhere they should never be, and know that. While thee they are messing about with safety controls recklessly, which could lead to damage to the train or even intiate an emergency call that will stop every train in the local area while they establish whether its safe or not.
Watching the video carefully, one of them does almost press the big red button... but then seems to realise that it wouldn't be a good idea to actually do it.
Someone twice his size will eventually put him through a wall and that’ll put a stop to him being an antisocial fool.
Blimey - that's some self control..."Wonder what the big red button does.......mustn't push the big red button.....can't resist..."
Need to pick the shops/takeaways carefully, or he might barge into a backroom to see activity by rather serious folk who really don't want random witnesses.
Might possibly have awareness of what it is and realises that it would result in an uncomfortable evening in a cell...?
It don't see when any of them go near the GSMR REC button - do you have a timestamp?
I'm at work, so I'll have to look tonight.... can't watch it here... but from memory it's about three quarters the way through but is only a few seconds long.
