it was some young emo biatch, not coping with rejection from her hideous freakshow goth mates, and her quack, somewhat reluctantly, agreeing with her fuckstick parents that she should be able to smoke to 'relax'.....FFS !!

The school never allowed her to take smoke breaks, she had to remove herself from the school grounds during normal recess and lunchtime breaks if she wanted to smoke. This is the same as lots of schools up here, once you are off the school grounds you can do WTF you want, including smoking.....the schools don't give a fuck.

This was the ultimate media beat-up !!! Right up there with Area51 in New Mexico in 1947 !!!

Even if she removes herself from the school grounds during school time the school is responsible for her, Duty of care and all that crap.
Also the school is not allowed to let her come and go as she likes. If she suffers an accident or something while on a "smoke break" the school would be in all sorts of legal shit for allowing her to be in that postion. Either way the school is screwed.
How does a 16 year old buy smokes any way???

Not down here. If the kids at a high school/college go down to the shops at lunchtime to buy tucker from the local Maccas, the school has absolutely no 'Duty Of Care' whatsoever about the conditions of the Maccas shop, the quality (or lack) of the food, or anything else. Same thing with the rest of the shopping centre. As soon as the kids walk out of the school grounds, they are not 'students', they are kids walking around a shopping centre. We are talking about mainly college kids here ( Year 11 and 12), not primary school kids.

This chick was not 'coming or going as she liked' - she was only allowed to leave the school grounds, and stand outside the fence having a smoke during normal recess and lunch breaks. The rules in the ACT schools system are not the same as NSW.

The schools responsibility stops at the fence. Either way, the school is not screwed at all. My old man and sister have over 50 years experience in the school system as teachers, (the poor buggars), they were really pissed off at how the media beat this whole story up and misrepresented basically every fact.

A 16 yo buying smokes ?? Maybe she is 6' tall with massive hooters - that will fool the shop monkeys every time !!
