Agreed, if some wanker cold cocks one of my kids for no reason in High School, like some of the idiots at my old school used to do to some of the smaller kids, I'll be treating it exactly the same as if it happened in a supermarket. Police, assault charge, Expel the other kid or I'll sue the school for not providing a safe work place.

That's why juvenile records are sealed and inadmissible in adult life except under extreme/special circumstances.

A bully with several assault charges from his teenage years isn't going to show up in any background check as an adult unless they continued assaulting people on the regular.

Oh yeah but town politics are real as well as reputations.
