Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth
Criminal Activities
Endangering the welfare of a child
Removing or taking students from school without authorization, transporting or hosting minors in an adult establishment (a bar) and exposing them to potentially harmful conditions can constitute unlawful removal of minors and child endangerment; knowingly facilitating or encouraging delinquent behavior by minors can also give rise to criminal liability under U.S. state statutes (often charged as 'contributing to the delinquency of a minor' or similar child welfare offenses).
Situation:
"Dee arranges to bring students from class to the gang's bar to screen a movie ('I'm going to bring some students from the classroom by, and we're going to screen a movie there' / 'We don't need your parents and the principal finding out. It's just our little secret'). The group clears out the bar and screens the film for the students without school permission; Charlie also mentors and removes Ritchie from school. Adults knowingly take and supervise students outside school without authorization and in an adult venue."
