What about permission? The pastor says he requires minors to have permission. The superintendent didn't think it was necessary for a 16 year old. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 07:25 14
- Again, if that's the case. Big problem. And I put the blame for that squarely on the adults involved (pastor, coach, superintendent) - oblique Sep 9, 07:29 13
  - That IS the case. There was NO permission asked for or received. Doesn't matter if the kid lied. - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 07:31 11
    - (Reading another article, the baptism's weren't actually part of the event schedule. It was a spur of the moment thing in the service.) -- nm - Ender Sep 9, 07:34 3

        So she just showed up out of the blue? Sorry, that doesn't wash. - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 07:50

        They don't even have to be immersed. I just assume priests already walk around surreptitiously sprinkling kids. -- nm - Ender Sep 9, 07:39 2

        actually they won't do it for anyone over the age of (don't know exactly) - loosilu Sep 9, 07:42
        
        No. I fully understand that in this instance, the adults blurred too many lines, didn't get adequate permission - oblique Sep 9, 07:37 1
        
        don't you think the coach, in his authority position, - loosilu Sep 9, 07:40
  - you never rely on kids to say they told their parents. ever. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:30
school bus is not school resources? -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:23 3
- The school wasn't paying for that. They paid their own gas and had a volunteer driver. -- nm - Ender Sep 9, 07:24 1
  - who would have paid if they had an accident? -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:25
- and school staff? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 07:24
