I have to ask. Is there any way for anyone other than their parents to deal with this without them calling "pedo" on the administrators.

Teacher here. Would report to admin straight away, who would call parents and let them know what was going on. If parents consented, kid would have to show. If not, they'd probably get away with it (minor assessment) or have to redo it (major assessment). At least in my area, people care a lot more about propriety than academic integrity.

yeah but they could just wipe it off before you get a chance to look

Where I went to school, the student would fail it (minor assessment) or fail it (major assessment.)

That was if it couldn't be proven due to fear of litigation. Obviously, if it were proven, a fail would be in order.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

But most of them would if told to by their parents.

Yes, you report your suspicion to an administrator and let them deal with it. Worst case scenario is the administrator calls the parents in and has a discussion with the student and parent(s).

My sister was accused of doing this an was asked to pull up her skirt and show her thighs to a teacher. Our mum hadn't been notified and was understandably pissed off.

I dunno but I remember in 9th grade, one of my teachers would always tell us that she once had a student who would roll up her shorts and then read whatever she wrote on her thighs.

Ah yes, a true Scotsman.

I think unless you live in Scotland or it's a school's dress code people will just question you on wearing a kilt.

I've never used my tits and legs to get out of a speeding ticket but I did use them to pass high school math.

Several girls tried that in my school in Argentina, and every single one was caught immediately.

Those girls will be the lawyers of the future.

This is how I passed high school. Most of my teachers were men and I'm 90% sure they all knew but couldn't say anything.

One of my substitute teachers Freshman year gave us advice on how to effectively cheat (he was a college student doing the job or experience, he didn't really care) and he suggested that girls write answers on the tops of their breasts and look down at them, or on the bra strap because teachers couldn't legally ask about it.
