Women Claiming to Be Parents to Get Easy Money

     Isn't school a place where you can depend on your children being safe at all times? A place where security is ensured and where people, who can be a harm to your children, be kept out. Mrs. Pointer, a seventh grade Social Studies teacher at John F. Eberhart elementary school, ran to the office to report that's her diabetic sugar testing machine and her purse had been stolen from her classroom, while she dismissed her class from school. When she opened the door to the office she was surprised to see that another teacher was also in the office stating that her personal belongings were missing. The other teacher was Mrs. Hudson-Oden, a seventh grade math teacher. They both were missing different things, but they had the same question in mind. Who's the thief? Could it be a student, how about a fellow teacher?
     Well after a week of investigation it was confirmed that it was neither a teacher or student who committed the crimes, it was two adult women who came into the school claiming that they were there to pickup their children. After the two were out of the sight of the security, they went up the back steps all the way to they second highest floor. They raided the first three classroom seen when coming from the steps. In the first classroom a purse with a phone, a wallet, and a checkbook was stolen. Not only did they steal from that room, they completely trashed it. Papers everywhere and everything out of its place. In the second room everything was also chaotic, in the end it was confirmed that a purse and sugar testing machine for diabetics was taken. In the third room there was only mess because it was beginning to be raided when a teacher was heard coming from the stairs. Then the two went down the main stair case, on the opposite side of the hallway. They left exited using the door right next to the steps, leaving the building, without anyone knowing.
     What would have happened if a student had returned to a class room or happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? A student said, after the incident,"It's quite scary to think about it now. I was going to go back to the classroom because I left an assignment, I asked to go back then I just thought to leave it until the next day." This was a student in Mrs. Hudson-Odens class, the first class to be raided. Luckily for that student she didn't go back, there was no reports on if the women had weapons. So a school is a place of safety, but you can never be too careful.
