Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

School locker larceny

My 6th grade niece recently had her lock and contents of her locker stolen. A teacher shrugged it off saying it happens all the time. If the school is ''not responsible'' for lost/stolen property, who is? Petty larceny against juveniles should not be condoned! Any suggestions?

Re: School locker larceny

You can attempt to sue the school and the personal who you think did it in small claims court. You probably can't sue the school though because they may have govermnetal immunity, but if this happens 'all the time,' you may be a ble to get around the immunity.
