Pasco's sheriff uses grades and abuse histories to label schoolchildren potential criminals.

[TexasTowelie]

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.

1. Anybody see Minority Report?

And of course kids who come from "good" families will get all the breaks and less will be expected from them than kids that start out in worse circumstances.

Self fulfilling prophecy.

2. No, I heard they start from the 3rd grade

They base on achievement scores, income and race. The system of not meant for everyone in society to be successful in life.

3. I can't adopt children because it is on record that I was sexually abused.

I found this out in my late 20's and last I heard it is the same. WTF!!

Yeah, I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that type of crap.
