2004, Desert Sands Unified School District Student Assistance Program Office
Pops had just starting to work with the district Student Assistance Program. He was sitting in on his first student/family conference. The young girl got very upset over something her mother had said and she jumped up and ran out of the office. I asked Pops to follow her to make sure she was okay. A few minutes later the girl and Pops were brought into my office by district security. Since Pops had just started working for us, security didn't know who he was. The only thing security knew about what he had witnessed, was a girl being followed across the school district parking lot by a tatted up, bald guy who he didn't know.
