Illegal Strip Search Of 7 Minors in MS

How would you feel if your child was stripped and CAVITY searched without your permission?

Seven families with children at McAdams High School, Attala County, MS, have filed a federal lawsuit against the school district, alleging a school resource officer conducted strip searches on their children following a suspicion that students had brought vaping devices onto campus. The incident occurred Feb. 10, 2026. Parent Arma Cooper said she learned what happened when she picked up her son that day.

“One at a time they were taken into the resource officer’s office, and they were all strip searched,” Cooper said. “Made to stoop down, bend over, their genitals were showing.”

Attala resource officer and staff strip search seven teens occurred in rural Attala county, Mississippi without parents knowledge or consent. No reason was given to the parents at first. This is Mississippi where the state is led by Republicans. They brag Mississippians has a low unemployment, education is skyrocketing with more people learning, and there is no racism like the Left/Democrats are saying. There is still an exodus from MS by the brightest most talented people. The mass relocation of African Americans from Mississippi occurred in two major historical waves: the Exoduster Movement (1879) and the Great Migration (1910–1970). There is another one happening in 2026 to the MS Gulf Coast and even Mexico.

FOXNEWS has been a source of such misinformation glorifying the Republican state. Two governers are shown with Bret Farve who stole millions from the state without a guilty verdict. The RICH come to MS to steal government money issued to the state time and time again.

A school resource officer and school staff in Attala County, Mississippi, conducted invasive strip searches on seven Black teenage boys at McAdams High School, requiring them to bend over, squat, and expose their genitals despite having a vape-detecting wand available. No contraband was found during the searches. A federal lawsuit has been filed accusing the school resource officer of the incident.

The remaining population is made up of smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, multiracial groups, and Hispanic or Latino residents. 

THE ANSWER AS TO HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN

To answer this question you have to LOOK at the HISTORY of Attala County, MS. Racism in Attala County, Mississippi, is deeply rooted in the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and violent voter suppression. Historically, Black residents faced extreme subjugation—including extrajudicial lynchings, dispossession, and the murder of those advocating for civil rights and education. Even after the Civil Rights Movement, systemic inequalities persisted into modern times, most notably through documented discriminatory jury selection practices. 

The Jim Crow Era and Civil Rights Resistance: Targeted Violence: In the early 20th century, Black citizens were terrorized to enforce the racial hierarchy; an infamous example includes the lynching of two men, Hallum and Moore, who were shot for refusing to address white men as "Mister". 

Voter Suppression: Post-Reconstruction, systemic disenfranchisement erased the political gains Black empowerment movements had achieved prior to 1915. Local organizers like MacArthur Cotton experienced this firsthand: his father was stripped of his voting rights and his grandfather was murdered for attempting to teach African Americans how to read.

Birthplace of James Meredith: Kosciusko, the county seat, is the birthplace of James Meredith, the civil rights icon who integrated the University of Mississippi in 1962 and later initiated the 1966 "March Against Fear" to spur Black voter registration. 

Contemporary Systemic Issues: Jury Discrimination: Decades after desegregation, institutional racism remained entrenched in the local justice system. District Attorney Doug Evans' office systematically and disproportionately excluded Black prospective jurors, prompting the NAACP to file a major lawsuit (Attala County NAACP v. Evans) to end discriminatory practices.

Lasting Economic and Voting Disparities: The historical trauma and targeted exclusionary policies, such as racist redlining and Jim Crow-era felony disenfranchisement laws, continue to hinder Black economic mobility and political representation in the Deep South today. 

 ATTALA COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI is NOT just ONE county in Mississippi where this happens. It's a Mississippi THING. This is the state that FOUGHT tooth and nail to remain SEPARATE from BLACK people and it continues today regardless of what REPUBLICANS and FOXNEWS has to say. This IS Mississippi's history that remains today.

My heart and soul is beyound thrilled the PARENTS are not allowing this to happen to their children SILENTLY. I say YES to the Black Community in voicing its digust and violation of their RIGHTS. Stand tall and loud. My HUSBAND graduated from McADAM HIGH SCHOOL and knows the people involved and related to one. 

Why wait until some injustice or TRAGEDY comes to your doorstep before you become involved in this bold uprising of RACISM and lies in MISSISSIPPI.

Mississippi has declared a public health emergency over its infant mortality rate, which currently stands at 9.7 deaths per 1,000 live births. This is one of the highest rates in the nation and significantly exceeds the most recent U.S. national average of 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births. 

Key Data and Disparities: Racial Disparities: The rate for Black infants is 15.2 deaths per 1,000 live births, compared to 5.8 per 1,000 for White infants. Leading Causes: The primary factors include extreme low birthweight (extreme immaturity), sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) often tied to unsafe sleeping conditions, and congenital anomalies. Regional Hotspots: The Delta, East Central, and Southwest health districts have experienced some of the highest mortality rates in the state.

Mississippi leads the nation in gun deaths among pregnant and postpartum people The state has become a hotspot for these deaths in large part because of lax gun laws and restrictive abortion access.

Why So Many Pepophiles?

A fact that has been with us too long is the fact that children are victims of sex crimes. The number is shocking and so is WHO are actuallty committing the crimes. There should be a larger out-cry to what is happening to our children. For info on rape on women read: DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: The Silence of Rape.

Somehow we have become immune to how low a person can go. Why not? Our leader, our president of the United States, leads in criminal activity without any consequenses. It's open season on victimization from the top guy who encourages horrible behavior. He wanted a slush fund to reward CRIMINAL behavior. He just as much approved crime. But, he only wants a certain group of people to be immune to prosecution. WE MUST CARE ABOUT OUR CHILDREN MORE THAN WE CARE ABOUT TRUMP.

There is outrage at immigrants committing crime. People screaming and shouting, "Send these lawbreakers and criminals back to where they came from. They're ruining our country!" But, our country is being ruined for a generation to come of children who have been touched or propositioned sexually. They are scarred and we don't know what kind of adult they would be if a crime had not been carried out on them.

Major reports from national organizations and advocacy groups provide the following key statistics for 2025:

• Direct Victim Reports: In 2025, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) received over 5,700 CyberTipline reports directly from victims, a more than 100% increase over 2024. 
• Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) Cases: CACs across the country investigated 224,520 cases involving allegations of child sexual abuse, which accounted for over half of their total caseload. [
• Online Exploitation and Abuse: The NCMEC CyberTipline received 21.3 million reports related to suspected child sexual exploitation, which included a sharp rise in generative AI-related exploitation and massive spikes in reports of sex trafficking and financial sextortion. 
• Religious Institution Allegations: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops recorded over 1,000 allegations of child sexual abuse within U.S. dioceses for the 2025 fiscal year, with just over 2% of these involving individuals who were minors during that period.
• 
  It is time for us  to get the sexual degenerates away from our childen. It seems like an epidemic of child sexual offender on parade. Teachers are being charged daily along with people holding office within the church. I hope the statistics I'm about to share is not the first time you were aware of the information. Okay. Here you go.

Eye opening huh? But it doesn't stop there. Extensive global studies and investigations indicate that thousands of Catholic clergy and church officials have credibly accused or proven to have committed sexual acts with minors. Determining exact numbers is challenging due to historical cover-ups and unreported cases, but comprehensive reports provide the following figures: United States: Over 6,000 Catholic clergy members have been credibly accused of sexual abuse since 1950. The landmark John Jay Report identified 4,392 priests and deacons who faced allegations of child sexual misconduct. 

Accurate, centralized statistics on the exact number of teachers committing sexual acts with minors are difficult to pinpoint because many cases go unreported. However, research highlights the scope of the problem: a landmark literature review by the U.S. Department of Education estimated that roughly 1 in 10 students experience some form of educator sexual misconduct during their K-12 schooling. 

There is no single official database tracking the exact number of politicians who have committed sexual acts with minors, as these incidents are recorded across various local, state, and federal criminal justice systems globally. Cases occur across the political spectrum.

 

Federal Politics: In the United States, historical databases and watchdog groups (such as GovTrack.us Legislator Misconduct Database) compile instances of federal misconduct. For instance, former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was convicted in 2016 for crimes tied to a child abuse cover-up involving former students, and other federal lawmakers have faced charges of soliciting minors or contributing to the delinquency of a minors. 

State Politics: The National Women's Defense League and news outlets like AP News track state and local lawmakers. For instance, a 2025 AP tally recorded at least 14 state lawmakers accused of sexual misconduct in a single year, with various officials over the years having been indicted or convicted for soliciting or assaulting minors. 

ICE Enforcement: In fiscal year 2023, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested noncitizens with 4,390 charges and convictions related to sex and sexual assaults. In early 2026, ICE conducted multiple targeted operations across the country, resulting in the arrests of numerous noncitizens with prior convictions or pending charges for child sex offenses. 

Federal Convictions: The United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) tracks non-U.S. citizens sentenced in federal court for sexual abuse. For instance, in fiscal year 2025, non-U.S. citizens accounted for roughly 44% of all individuals sentenced in federal court, though these figures encompass all federal crimes, not just sex offenses.

Current national and global authorities highlight the following reported and estimated figures:

• Child Protective Services: In recent years, approximately 63,000 substantiated cases of child sexual abuse have been processed annually by U.S. Child Protective Services agencies. 
• Online Exploitation: The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) handles millions of reports of suspected child sexual exploitation (CSAM), with reports of online enticement and AI-related exploitation surging into the hundreds of thousands. The volume of direct reports from victims themselves increased to more than 5,700 recently. 
• True Scale: Experts estimate that less than one in three actual cases of child sexual abuse are ever reported, with an estimated one in four girls and one in thirteen boys experiencing abuse before the age of 18.

I believe our chants should be,"LOCK PEDOPHILES UP!" With all that is occurring in the world we have left our children more exposed and vulnerable to these sex preditors. We don't need to make America great AGAIN. We need MAKE AMERICA GREAT RIGHT NOW. Our children of the future are under attack. Who will stand for them and who will continue turning a blind eye to this crime. We are ALL CHOOSING the America we want right now and evidently we want people to be okay with sexually assaulting children.

The only existing national data collection effort that explored the incidence of sexual assault ignored crimes against young victims. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) estimated there were 197,000 incidents of forcible rape and 110,000 incidents of other sexual assault in the United States in 1996 involving victims ages 12 or above (Ringel, 1997). Victims reported that a third (31%) of these sexual assaults (or 94,000 victimizations) were reported to law enforcement agencies.

The age profile of sexual assault victims varied with the nature of the crime. Juveniles were the large majority of the victims of forcible fondling (84%), forcible sodomy (79%), and sexual assault with an object (75%). In contrast, juveniles were the victims in less than half (46%) of forcible rapes. In each sexual assault category except forcible rape, children below the age of 12 were about half of all victims.

The detailed age distribution of the victims of sexual assault emphasizes the high proportion of juvenile victims. The single age with the greatest proportion of sexual assault victims reported to law enforcement was age 14 (figure 1). There were more victims in each individual age group between 3 and 17 than in any individual age group 17 (any adult age group), and more victims age 2 than in any age group above age 40. For victims under age 12, 4-year-olds were at greatest risk of being the victim of a sexual assault.

The victim age distribution differed with the nature of the offense (figure 2). The risk of being the victim of forcible rape increased dramatically from age 10 to age 14, where it peaked. By age 20, the risk had dropped to less than half the peak 14-year-old rate, and dropped to a 10th of the 14-year-old peak by age 40. For the other types of sexual assault, the victim age curves had two peaks, one (as in forcible rape) around age 13 or 14 and the other around age 4. The risk of being the victim of forcible sodomy peaked at age 4. 

By age 11 the risk of forcible sodomy dropped to half the peak rate, then increased for a couple of years through age 13, before falling to a 10th of the peak rate by the early 20s. The risk of being the victim of sexual assault with an object peaked at ages 3 and 4, then fell to less than half the peak rate by age 8. After age 8 the risk of sexual assault with an object increased through age 14 to almost three-fourths the 3- and 4-year-old peak, and then dropped to a 10th of the peak rate by the mid-20s. 

The risk of forcible fondling, the other high volume sex assault offense along with forcible rape, first peaked at age 4, dropped marginally through the pre-teen years, and then increased to its absolute peak for victims age 13. After age 13, the risk of forcible fondling dropped precipitously, so that by age 24 the risk was a 10th of that of 13-year-olds.
