And the adults in this Valley wonder why they keep getting sandbagged by kids valleywide bringing forward very serious issues. From drugs to gangs to inappropriate sex crimes, to now alleged attempted murder.
Could it possibly be that the trickle down effect of corruption, power abuse and the most entrenched social hierarchy in the region (all the problem of adults, BTW) has oozed its way all the way down to the kids?
The only new news for them is the escalation of violence and still yet more intimidation to perform.
Wonder what the kids have on their minds? All their minds and not just the outside perceptions being stroked and cultivated by adults who are placed into their lives.
Wonder how important it is to local investigative reporters to start rattling some cages and getting the real, the tough and the hard questions asked?
One way or the other, for sure we can count on the kids and the parents/adults who refuse to back down to those same pressures will be the ones eventually letting us all know.
From 'SandBox Nanny's' perspective and experiences with Basalt High School, it doesn't sound like much has changed in the past aprx. 15 years. The same social serving, rather than student serving positions of trust seem to still be in place.

"BASALT — Four boys facing possible criminal charges in an alleged kidnapping and beating plot against another youth live in the Basalt area, but only one of them attended Basalt High School, authorities said last weekend.
Adriana Hire, assistant principal of Basalt High School, said Sunday she had learned that only the young man identified by police as the prime suspect in the kidnapping plot was attending the school.
“That was a very short period of time,” Hire said.
Hire said none of the other three suspects in the case is currently a student. She said she was prohibited by school policy from discussing if any of the three students previously attended Basalt High School. Authorities could offer limited information about the suspects because they are juveniles.
A Basalt Police Department spokesman said Friday that all four kids attended Basalt High School. Hire said she wanted to correct that information because it could affect perceptions of the high school...."
