" according to the DA's office; all of the juveniles charged were students at Eaglecrest during the brawl. "I filed for a judicial review on May 1, and now we're seeing that they filed the charges on May 3," the mother who spoke toexplains."I had called in April before our appeal and was told that no charges had been filed and that they didn't know if would actually take the charges."
Students from Eaglecrest allegedly exited with the two individuals, and they continued to exchange verbal jabs before the interactions eventually turned violent, with multiple people fighting outside the athletics entrance as a result. "Who do you see from Eaglecrest — an adult, anybody — who steps in to intervene?" the source asks."There's nobody. So now you leave some teenagers to their own devices with people saying they think they heard a gunshot, and this is what we do? We expel and charge them? I think anybody who can frame it with all of the facts would not have landed at, 'You deserve the very worst punishment.
According to the filing, it was determined by EHS and CCSD that the teen's ADHD did not have an impact on his behavior. But his parent insists in the legal document that it did. "It seems like real coincidental timing," the source says."Who's to say they didn't call to remind the DA to charge the boys?"reached out to Eaglecrest and CCSD for comment multiple times about the fight, the criminal charges that were filed against the students and what parents are saying about the school and district.
"I haven't been in fights, I always had good grades, I've always been a fun kid in the school who is nice to everybody," the teen says."The way it happened, the way other kids that night didn't get expelled or charged, it makes me feel some type of way. It makes me feel like I got subjected and singled out. I didn't even know who these people were. I got hit out of nowhere; I didn't want to fight that night.
Since the teens who were charged are minors, ACSO officials are unable to provide any information about their cases or the charges they're facing. It's unclear what prompted the sheriff's office, DA and school district to only expel and charge four of the students involved in the fight and not others, however.
