Here is how Smith describes his own actions at the school:
"I went nuts. I called the principal a p-----. .... Six cop cars showed up like a f----ing SWAT team" to respond to his behavior. Smith seems to think it worked out well, though, because with the attention he received "we got an escort to the hospital and they administered a rape kit that night." We've seen the video posted of him scuffling with cops at the school board meeting.
I wouldn't do any of those things.
If my daughter was raped at school the first thing I would do would be to try to comfort her I'm pretty sure that after undergoing the trauma of a rape, the last thing my kid would want is for her dad to come busting in there calling the principal names and acting so out of control that six cops have to show up. After leaving the school with my daughter, I would take her to the hospital myself to get a rape kit administered if warranted, there's no need for me to get arrested for that to happen. My primary focus in those first hours would be mostly on caring for my child's welfare, and to a lesser extent, preserving any evidence that might be important in convicting the rapist.
If I had concerns about how the school acted in either preventing or responding to the rape, I would raise those concerns to the school and school board in a way that seemed most likely to persuade them to change the policies. I would explain what happened to my daughter and why and how I think the school's policies contributed to it. I wouldn't go to a school board meeting, get into a shouting match with someone, then start physically fighting with the cops that told me to back off.
