The Pasco Sheriff’s Office keeps a secret list of kids it thinks could “fall into a life of crime” based on factors like whether they’ve been abused or gotten a D or an F in school, according to the agency's internal intelligence manual.

The Sheriff’s Office assembles the list by combining the rosters for most middle and high schools in the county with records so sensitive, they’re protected by state and federal law.

School district data shows which children are struggling academically, miss too many classes or are sent to the office for discipline. Records from the state Department of Children and Families flag kids who have witnessed household violence or experienced it themselves.

According to the manual, any one of those factors makes a child more likely to become a criminal...

2. Why the fuck

is it always the abused kids who get the blame for violence ? I am sick of that bullshit.The violent kids were the popular and narcissistic bully kids abused or not does not matter they choose to identify with abusive people who do violence and become criminals. I would have ticked off every godamn criteria for that asshole cops list even though I was not violent despite being abused at home, at school everywhere. I got f's because everyday the bullies on the bus tossed my schoolwork out of the bus window, too far away for me to walk to go find it in some cornfield.
So I gave up on turning in my assignments starting in 7th grade. I couldn't study at home because home was not safe and full of chaos and violence.. I had to stay vilagent or my ass would get hurt everywhere I went. I remember when I was 13 asking my mom to take me to a psychiatrist because there was something wrong with my head.

I had no safe place yet I hurt no one unless I was being beaten.. I never wanted to be like a damn bully or become my vicious father. Yeah I got cptsd and dissociative disorder rather than be the lowest form of life a godamn bully.

4. Same experiance here: a serious beating every Thursday. And random supplimental ones ...

... in between. I remember getting beaten for telling the truth, which actually gave me a strong appreciation of truth.

The kids I knew who got in trouble seemed to be mostly kids with "perfect" and privileged lives.

6. So sorry to hear about the abuse some of you went through.

Fortunately, I had loving and caring parents at home, but our school was full of bullies who could get by with murder.

We also have a very controversial Sheriff and it sounds like Pasco does, too. So what is he doing to help those children? What agency is he contacting to intervene to help those who are suffering? Or is it all about his list?
