I just drove past EPHS and it appears that someone spray painted all over the place....the building, the sign out front, and the fence. There were people there attempting to clean it up. I will never understand why people do things like this

Young,dumb and STUPID vandels. They should be caught and made to clean it up wearing a sign that says I made this mess. Of course some person is going to say that it is cruel punishment.

[LindaB]

There are a lot of teenagers in the Paulding County Adult Detention with the charge CRIMINAL INTERFERENCE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

Sounds like they may have already caught them - unless they are there for something else.

A bunch of Seniors from EP got locked up for it.

Gotta be the dumbest Senior prank ever. Why spray paint your own school? Is no one creative anymore?

That was dumb.

[Lucky64]

I saw OP post and asked my kids about it. They said (daughter) it was a senior prank. What kind of prank is that. I showed my son who was arrested and he knew some of them. He is lucky he wasn't apart of this.

Whatever happened to putting the principal's car on the roof?

Somebody's dumbass kids are costing this county a lot of tax dollars.

it really is a shame, I hate that it happened but I'm thankful my kid wasn't part of it.

Never crossed my mind he would be there! That's why we love him so He's a great kid and you did a wonderful job raising him.

A lot of these other kids that were involved are great kids too who were raised just as well. Unfortunately it only takes one mistake to land you in a world of trouble. I hate this is how they are going to remember their senior year. Maybe it will make next year's class think twice before attempting something so ignorant. But I doubt it. My daughter said her class is ten times as bad.

I have always been under the impression that the names of minors could not be revealed when they were in trouble. I see now that I was wrong.

Wow, 16 of them and I know one.
It appears that bond has not been granted either.

So are these kids in YDC or jail?

Depends on whether they go to Adult Detention (which is the list I sent) or YDC - which you cannot see. I don't know what determines whether a 17 year old goes to Adult Detention or not. Several months ago when several kids "acted out" at the YDC they were put in the Adult Detention - and their names were then available to the public.

[NC-17]

I've only ever heard of one of these kids. and that's because he played football.

[D-Cinco]

Some of these kids are already 18.

Thank you, that makes sense.
So then there were probably more involved than the 16 that are listed.

I am NOT going to throw any stones or accusations at the kids OR the parents because I know how easy it is to do something dumb and regret it later. BUT, it was dumb and you would think that they would have done it to a rival school and not their own.

So doing something this malicious to another school is better?

NO, not what I meant at all. It just makes more sense to harm the enemy than yourself.
I hope you understand what I mean by that statement.

This act should not have been done to ANY property.

I started athread about this last year about this time. I complained about the street in fronyt of the school having spray paint all over it.
I know it is something that the senior class likes to do, and many defended them. This year they have gone too far and spray painted 2012
two times right on the front of the building(gym) where you can definitely see it from the road. No one seems to be defending this act
of "school spirit". I don't like it all, and am glad they are in trouble for it. Maybe next years class can think of a legal way to show their
school spirit and class pride!

Don't count on next years class doing any better. As a matter of fact they will probably try to top it. That seems to be the recurrent theme with so many kids this day. Let's see if we can go one better.

[mojo413]

I'm sure I will upset some folks.
I believe it was 2007 where an American student was caned in Japan for spray painting cars.
Shame we have become so lax about accountability. I'm really not in favor or caning students but I am of the opinion of putting punishments in place that sets an attitude of accountability when someone is tempted to do something so stupid. I feel a $10,000.00 fine and 1,000 Community Service hours on weekends while housed in the county jail on Friday and Saturday nights is in order.
I watched an army of school board employees clean up the Poole site last Saturday morning after Friday night's tornado. Not a single one seemed to be bothered that they were called in on Saturday morning to get this school ready to recieve students on Monday morning.
Then to read that a beautiful school such as East Paulding was vandalized by its own students. It turns my stomach. I hope the legal system throws the book at each one.

[Ed Head]

I wonder who the brainiac of that crowd was.

The fact that the kids lack the creativity to pull a better senior prank is probably just a symptom of a bigger societal problem, what I like to call the social retardation of youth. When kids can't even look you (or eachother!) in the eye and have conversation that doesn't involve smacking thumbs against a small thin box, there is something lacking, and it leaves us fogies dumbfounded because we were brought up much differently. I blame the kids for the crimes but I don't fully blame them for being socially absent in the head; dare I say too many of them were brought up latchkey with games and cell phones and cable TV as babysitters.

Several years ago the seniors at PCHS poured oil or something on the football field. I have heard the teachers talking about the smell that came from the ground during graduation.

There are funny senior pranks - and some that are just destructive.

I think the kids should be required to remove the paint - but it won't happen because it might hurt their self esteem.

My sentiments exactly.

[Lucky64]

I questioned my son about this and he said that it was planned (of course) and they were telling everyone that wanted to join in. He said that someone text him and told him but the group of kids that my son hangs out with are good kids and would never join in something like that. Both kids said it was all over facebook before, during, and after.

Well, they really messed up. So much to graduating and welcome to "second year senior"!

I'm trying to remember what the senior 'prank' was the year I graduated ... I *think* some of the guys got together and somehow stacked tires over the flagpole in front of the school.

[teacherman]

Kick em out, make them get their GED.

Things have changed since I graduated in 1971. Our Assistant Principal of Disipline Mr Bricker in South Carolina would have beat our butts with his personized paddle, expelled us, then sent us home for our dads to beat our butts. But then again we didn't have federal protection from beatings back then.

I say ombudsman for the rest of the school year. (no prom or other school activities) They have to personally clean up what they did and what they can't personally fix, they have to reimburse the school for repairs.

Didnt one of the students recently sign a football scholarship? I wonder how this will affect that? I just don't think kids these days think pass the moment. I sure hate it, if he messed that up...... Wow!!! Just SMH. And most of these students are probably "good kids", that just got caught up!!! But i've been saying for years, this generation is the "ME Generation". It's all about me, and what I want, what I want to do, regardless of how it hurts other people.....

At a cost of $5K per student. No thanks.

Yes, they definitely left a paper trail on facebook. They definitely were not worried about getting caught....

So dozens, if not hundreds of kids knew this illegal activity was going to take place and not a single person thought to report it?

Boy, this shows how smart they are. Seems like they should be studying so they
might get to graduate
