School administrator's must report students who are a danger to themselves or others

Did your son or daughter 'cause a problem' for 'someone' by talking about a deer hunting experience while on school grounds? An anonymous 'school administrator' might well have you and/or your child "determined to pose a clear and present danger to himself, herself, or to others" and then gone are your rights!

IF you're a well known hunter in your community or gun owner, better be careful if you ever decide to complain to the school board or principal, or deans, instructional leaders, etc.. It might come back and bite you in the butt.

Section 100. Short title. Sections 100 through 110 may be cited as the School Administrator Reporting of Mental Health Clear and Present Danger Determinations Law.

Section 105. Duty of school administrator. It is the duty of the principal of a public elementary or secondary school, or his or her designee, and the chief administrative officer of a private elementary or secondary school or a public or private community college, college, or university, or his or her designee, to report to the Department of State Police when a student is determined to pose a clear and present danger to himself, herself, or to others, within 24 hours of the determination as provided in Section 6-103.3 of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. "Clear and present danger" has the meaning as provided in paragraph (2) of the definition of "clear and present danger" in Section 1.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.

 

 

Section 110. Immunity. A principal or chief administrative officer, or the designee of a principal or chief administrative officer, making the determination and reporting under Section 105 of this Law shall not be held criminally, civilly, or professionally liable, except for willful or wanton misconduct.

This was in the carry law. It is intended to reduce the chances of the young disturbed killers like the Colorado movie theater and Newtown school mass murderers from slipping through the cracks

 

We objected to untrained school officials making this determination. However, the appeal/review process for revoked FOID cards is still the same and can't be denied.

If you don't get your day in court facing your accusers how will you ever prove they willfully or wantonly abused that power? Bit of a catch 22 going on here.

 

Where does it say someone doesn't get their day in court? WHere does it say a school administrator can revoke a FOID card. It simply says if a school official ascertains a student is a danger to themselves or others, they must report it, just like if they suspect child abuse.
