    I don’t get why everyone is saying the kids should be allowed to steal?

    Nobody said that. Nobody even implied it. They said that a teacher should know that leaving FUCKING DRUGS THAT LOOK LIKE CANDY sitting out in plain sight around a bunch of kids is grossly negligent. Just having them on school grounds is illegal. Not to mention they’re pretty sure she was driving while impaired. These are the criminal charges against her. She didn’t force the kids to take drugs, and that’s not what she’s charged with. Whether or not the kids face any legal penalties is irrelevant to any of that information, and nobody understands why you think it’s so important to know.

    At worst, the kids committed petty theft. A misdemeanor. For a minor that would mean essentially no serious consequences.
