That's the reason they don't pick the location until the morning of. We always emailed each other and called each others cell phones 10 -15 minutes before. You'd have to be God to know where we were going to do it.
A few times it took almost 20 minutes to get there, just by walking over railroad tracks, through trees...very well hidden, location very well kept secret.
Grant and Lee is in the middle of a few million dollar houses about 3 miles off a main road. There's like, no traffic that passes it.
And the school really can't suspend them, if so I"m sure THEIR parents would sue, which would be totally sick. We have an honor code that we use...the only thing the school can do is take kids off of their sports teams (for next year.)
Although, now that they're going to be charged as criminals, i'm sure a few could be held from walking across the stage at graduation.

The school officials could have prevented this type of behavior. They could have said to the students that if this hazing occurs, they will be suspended, cannot attend the prom or any extracurricular activity, and their parents will be called. That would have shown these students that their actions have consequences. Now the consequences will involve a criminal investigation and possibly a record that will follow them around for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the public humiliation that the school has suffered.
