Texas cops ‘swarm’ school, police call for ‘prayer’ over miscarriage in bathroom

Parents in Texas are upset after police reportedly “swarmed” a Texas high school because a girl may have had a miscarriage in one of the bathrooms.

KDFW reported that a school custodian notified the principal at Woodrow Wilson High School after finding a “possible fetus” in one of the bathroom stalls on Friday.

The principal contacted police, who “swarmed” the school, according to KTVT.

Dallas Police Department’s Child Abuse Unit detectives were investigating to find out who may have abandoned the fetus. The person involved was being considered a “suspect.”

What should they do? Draw guns on a teenager (or teacher) who isn't pregnant anymore? Did they think she was going to get pregnant again and miscarry in fifth period?

I graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School. We were the first naturally integrated high school in Dallas.

We ran the gamut from some of the poorest working class to the wealthiest old-timers on Swiss Avenue .

The shame comes from the newly wealthy who have moved in and changed the culture of "Old East Dallas". They have poisoned the community with their self-centeredness (maybe not a word, but very explanatory).

A police spokeswoman has explained that no crime was committed. There was never a need for such a show of force.

This world, in this time, is really fucked up.
