The girls should ban together, sue the school district for emotional distress. Consider carrying a knife at all times in the event you need to defend yourself.
I absolutely agree with the lawsuit idea but not with the knife. Oftentimes if the person with the knife isn't trained enough it could be taken and used against them. Not only that, but if you stab someone it won't necessarily stop them. They will immediately go into shock and probably not even know they've been stabbed. And, in the worst case scenario, they might kill somebody and go down for murder or manslaughter despite originally being the victim.
I recommend a tactical whip or a monkey's fist as opposed to a lethal weapon.
Monkeys Fists are illegal in California and carry the penalty of a felony.
They're illegal in just about every state but keychains are not illegal in any state.
Stabbing people with a knife is illegal in every state too which was the original advice.
Carrying a concealed knife vs carrying a monkey fist keychain. If my daughter's life is on the line I'll recommend the keychain. If a cop catches her with it I doubt they will arrest her if she plays it off like she thought it was just an innocuous keychain she got at the swap meet instead of a recognizeable weapon. The police might confiscate it as they would with the knife but it has more of an impact against an attacker than the knife would.
It's a gamble, I know, but I'm going with the tactical whip either way.
It's different for children, I agree. And no, I don't think a knife is a good idea either.
Once it's legal for you to do so, conceal a firearm. Until then, open carry pepper spray. That shit will stop a freight train!
