Chilton County and Jemison High seniors swap schools for senior prank; draws massive attention 

Sounds like the school administration was embarrassed by the fact that poor security was revealed.

That was a good prank. If anyone should get in trouble, it's the principal and SRO that didn't pay attention.

A clean prank. Kudos to them. The kids should have been rewarded, if anything, for exposing major flaws in the school security system and staff training, but that is obviously why they are being punished.

The bigger issue is how easy it is to get into a school

Let the kids have a little fun...sounds to me somebody (the school staff) was extremely embarrassed that these kids weren't caught earlier and now takin it out on the students...in any case its pathetic and the staff need to stop actin like immature people and set a better example...ever heard of the phrase no harm no foul...maybe these people who dished out the punishments need to be reminded...

Seriously? We can’t hold teen killers accountable because they’re “too young” but a harmless, and honestly funny, prank is criminal? Also! Schools can’t discipline bullies for beating and abusing other children, but *this* is what they crack down on?!

of course the school was trying to punish them as hard as possible for a harmless joke lmao

That's why it's called a prank , and it was a good one . Jeez way too many people have giant sticks in their little tiny dark places , that just makes them mean , and angry . Way to lash out over nothing !

First time I've ever agreed with a guy in a MAGA hat. No damage was done except some embarrassment to the school officials who were in charge of spotting these things. Getting kicked from their extracurriculars and threatened with losing their scholarships is way out of line.

Omg! Let kids do innocent pranks..jeez..look back at 1970s high school pranks at ur local schools..i can promise they did tons worse that were actually criminal

That’s a bit severe, that ain’t kill nobody 😂

This is the funniest senior prank ive ever heard of

As harmless as this was, it did open up some security issues. They did break some serious policies. However, I don’t think this level of punishment is justified.

Damn those punishments are over the top. The administrators are mad that the students showed how stupid their staff is 😂

I am one of the students at jemison high school, as I do believe they should have a consequence, but revoking scholarships and being kicked off sports teams is way to far. The prank could have been counted as a intruding a school and could have received jail time.

So, what was the eventual outcome of this, seeing as how it was posted 2 years ago..?!

You could do this at literally any big school. no teachers gonna remember every single student face same goes for the cops

The County Commissioner really pranking us with that hat 😂😂

It would've been more funny if it were the whole senior class and not just a few kids. Either way they shouldn't get introuble it was a small prank,

I knew one of the kids since I go to Jemison. Ps they didn't lose their scholarships

A harmless prank that does not deserve a harsh punishment like they got! Its all in fun and nobody got hurt! Over reaction!

Well they just started a new tradition 😅

… So they would rather stuff get vandalized then? It was a good, clean prank. They’re embarrassed and making an example out of these kids.

Nowadays everything will get you in trouble!

We did this growing up but didn’t get caught. Few of the homies went to the local private school Holy Spirit. They had a sub since their teacher was pregnant. Me and the other homie went to the private school and it was epic. The other homies tried to go to the public school but it didn’t work out. They ended up skipping before home room. They were pissed and board😂. They ended up just walking around the whole day😂

If I were those kids I'd apply for whistleblower protection. They exposed the lack security at inattention of the administration.

Someone brought a smoke bomb to school for our senior prank, they were arrested and charged as a adult

MAGA hat guy is correct. It was a good prank, and it exposed security flaws that need to be addressed. These kids provided a public service and should be commended.

So all they did was swap places for a day? Nothing got broken, stolen, injured or killed? So they are being punished for showing a flaw in the school's security and that anyone can still walk into a school without being questioned or stopped. At least they are being prepared for the adult world where whistle-blowers go missing and you get punished even for doing the right thing. If you embarrass someone in a higher position then you will be criminally punished these days

"how did they get in the school?" bruh they walked through the door, just like everyone else.

they are just mad that the students bought to light how easy it is for anyone to get into these schools i mean where the id check to see if they belong on school property

That’s a county commissioner?! 😂🤣. With that accent and that hat?! 🤣

We had to show student Id cards daily in my highschool even if it was a sub and ur student id card had to match the name on the roster if you didn't have ur student ID you were sent to a room with the resource officer and a phone to call ur parents to bring ur birth certificate and ect documents to prove you actually went to that school eventually they started comparing stident photos to those on an update system as you enter the school

Hey! Those teachers, janitors, principal, school officers did not notice that there were different kids in the building.... You mad yet?

Why did they take their phones? Schools messed up on this one.

Legends.

The students should do a class action lawsuit

they really mad for being exposed cause how do you not recognize your own students ? 😭

that was a good prank

That sounds funny af lol should have just given them detention

Shit I cheated on a huge math test. All they did was change my seat. Ended up closer to my friends. 😂

When I was a kid in Chilton county,we just painted each other's mascot pink....

My county only has one public high school. And we are a pretty big county as well. Our school district covers the whole county.

Honestly it sounds like they are punishing the kids because it's easier than punishing the cop that let a stranger in a costume roam the school........

Honestly, i think this is hilarious

So a student in a Spider-Man costume got past the police officer AND the Principal? Yeah, these kids were punished so the Principal didnt get fired or suspended. How do you not see a kid in a Spider-Man outfit?

PULL YOUR KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

What if that situation occurred during sports? I.e: Football, Basketball, etc.

14k in Clanton (Chilton high) 2k in Jemison (other school) no reason this was a big deal and not a lack of security for wither school. Just small rural school doing small rural school things and the adults at the school being triggered they were pranked so well.

How can you take someone's phone when they aren't even a student?

The prank didn’t have much thinking behind it 😂

I was like this is some good morning America ish… what’s the problem? And then I saw they were black kids lol

Pranks are a part of American culture. They went all out for the punishment but bullies can torture kids to suicide without any consequences.

That’s why there was a lock down

Phones taken too? The school should be embarrassed with themselves.

If they let it happen that’s on the schools. If the students are punished for it, i hope it only encourages and inspires future seniors to go even HARDER on their next senior prank.

Teachers & principal needs to be fired for not paying attention to kids who don't go there

Shows there's no security for your kids lol

Reminds me of when I got into high school and went to visit my band teacher from middle school and the new principal yelled at us and told us to not come back… School’s are so weird about visitors. I get it, but there’s gotta be a better way to handle this sort of thing.

Noone deserves jail time for going to a diff school for a few hours lol. Like why tf would anyone think of jail

Lool if they just laughed it off, I feel like all this could’ve went under the radar… but making a big deal of this drew attention to their security flaws and more so protecting their own egos lol

This is awesome

Ok so it would be ok if adults went into schools to pull a prank?

Egos were bruised. The administration was embarrassed. Give them suspension and move on.

Our senior “prank” was to ditch and go have a party.

The guy on the thumbnail looks like the fella whose beefing with Neon

What is the point of taking them off the teams? They didn’t hurt anybody. This was an innocent prank by kids!

Man dont flip this. Students should be punished and school administration should be punished or fired. We gotta all be accountable 😢😂

well jemisons 12th grade 22 class members 12 of them doing a crime like that oh heck no at northside we 110 seniors dont do that

They made adults look stupid and need to be punished how dare they make those adults look so fucking stupid.

Can't convince me certain groups get scholarships and their crimes go ignored and get to keep it all.

It would be one thing if they weren't also kids going to high-school they didnt sneak in someone older or with bad intentions as long as they acted in a well behaved manner and were honest and forth coming with details when caught then i think those principles should be happy that their cars didnt end up ontop of the building like what happens around here.

The schools are embarrassed because of how easy the kids did this poor security equals people going into schools

The prank was to swap schools and go unnoticed? If only more pranks were that harmless. This only made the news because officials over-reacted.

Classic

Even though this was 2 years ago, the level of punishments the schools went to is just stupid. They're just embarrassed that they didn't spot them earlier, it was a harmless and funny prank. They're not able to handle this stuff without having a laugh and it's pathetic

All they did was skip school and then go to school.

It was a harmless prank. Seriously the school should’ve just given them some after school detention and called it a wrap. Seams like they were all good students in good standing and not trouble makers out to cause trouble

In our country i does that i join some classes buy some snacks and join some PE class then someone i know snitch yep 10k fine and 6 months community service😂😂 its kinda sad but fun but its dangerous for the children tbh if some random pedo or mf get in the school thats fck up

Punishment for them yes. It’s illegal and also put metal detectors for schools in Texas just like California. Prevents guns in schools which are everywhere everyday. Keep the kids safe

Big safety issue though

This is a good prank disgusted on how administration handled it. Simply set up security, thats it.

No Personal Responsibility, what else is new!!??

Please give back to students what they earned ; don’t kick them off the sport team!!

how is sneaking into school a prank?

The kids should not be punished! If its a crime because its a security issues then the school should be punished. It was a prank and they did not have dangerous intentions. Over a senior prank. How absurd.

Wow, they got treated like they were black

It’s not like they damaged anything. Come on

Rules, they dont apply to everyone

lol back the blue.

It’s just a prank bro

Is everyone a square these days?

Lol

They should be kicked off the team I agree

That was harmless. Give me a break.

Oh gosh, who cares let em be kids

they have the right to do this

That's rediculous

No one was hurt, lighten up.

This reporters voice is hella annoying You’re trying too hard dude
