Supposing Nejeda goes to a movie with her friends after school. Perhaps she should check her supplies with the bus driver, in case she tries to sell some insulin to the rubbie sitting behind her. At the theatre, she should leave her meter and insulin at the ticket booth, because what if she stabbed a patron in a rage??? (Too bad if she wants popcorn.) How would the adults among us like to have to keep our meter and supplies at the HR office, and "sign in" to use them? Hmm, what about restaurant meals? I guess the cashier or chef better keep ahold of your stuff.
for Gawd's sake. | One word, JUVENILE. And even if a person is 18, they are still a juvenile on school premises and under the lawful custody and care of the school. Therefore, anything that happens on school grounds involving medicine that they knowing let a student carry with them, put them open to a million dollar lawsuit. I can't think of any major case studies now, but I'm sure there's been some.
