"legally" have

policies in place regarding childrens mail received..can you explain

what you mean by

"legally"...

 

 Thank you.

I think maybe there may be wiggle room for the school if they state a policy and the parent authorizes the school to "help" (yeah sure) their child. Wouldn't the school be a defacto guardian at that point? I don't know he legalities of minors, but I believe the guardian of the minor is a key issue.

Found this gem from Milonas v. Williams articles:
" The State must provide minimum procedural safeguards before placing juveniles in disciplinary confinement. Milonas v. Williams, 691 F.2d 931, at 941-942 & n.4 (10th Cir. 1982). It must also not censor mail based on criticisms of the juvenile institution. Id. at 940-941. Finally, it must provide juveniles with adequate mental health care. Youngberg, 457 U.S. at 315."

This was regarding State run institutions, does anyone know how HLA would differ?

Criticisms? HLA? thin skinned?
