Students in Perth Amboy walked out of class Monday morning in a protest over their safety. on his way home from Samuel Shull Middle School last week.
"We do not feel safe here and things need to change. Because nothing is going to happen if you all keep sitting here doing nothing," said Sarina Lebreault, a student. The frustrated students blame the stabbing of the 5th grader on the district's alleged inaction against violence. Parents said the district rarely notifies them about acts of violence and that their calls for metal detectors and backpack searches fell on deaf ears. "Every single day after lunch is when it most often happens. If you go the long way, all the kids start running and some kids fall. The teachers are screaming, the security guard has to come and stop all the fights," said Brieanne Mestre, a middle school student.
"Everything could have been prevented. But, it came to a case that someone got hurt. That's just unacceptable, it's sad," said Leeah Gutierrez, a high school student.
