   Learn the rules regarding your children’s right to privacy from Professor Philip Prygoski, a national constitutional law expert with special expertise in the rights of children. This is a unique opportunity for every parent to open channels of communication that are difficult.

“SEARCH & SEIZURE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WHAT ARE YOUR CHILDREN’S RIGHTS?” will answer the following questions:

1. May a school administrator perform a random search of your child where there is no suspicion of any wrongdoing on the part of your child?
2. Does the school need a warrant to search your child?
3. Can the results of a warrantless search be turned over to the police?
4. Can the police use the results of a search without a warrant to bring criminal charges against your child?

   As children grow, they often seek privacy by taking items to school they want to hide from their parents. Unfortunately the search for privacy could cost the child his or her future.

   Parents often experience difficulty communicating with their children. Videolaw is not encouraging children to possess weapons or traffic drugs, but to understand that adult ramifications for adolescent decisions are a reality.
