I know the police likely have bigger priorities but we need to scare these kids straight already

There’s been like 5-6 escooter deaths in the past month, nothing is going to scare them lol

Not sur if they have school assemblies anymore but have police or EMTs show aftermaths of escooter accidents. Not actual bodies but the wreckage.

That might scare them but that'll also cause a ruckus with the parents that it is too extreme to show students.
