3 On Paid Leave Amid School Strip-Search Case

POSTED: Friday, October 10, 2008
UPDATED: 2:53 pm EDT October 10, 2008

Two more employees at a Monroe school have been placed on two-week, paid leave after the strip search of seventh-grade girls.

Trinity Lutheran Church Senior Pastor Stanley AuBuchon on Friday would not release names or job titles of the disciplined staffers at Trinity Lutheran School

The principal of the school about 35 miles southwest of Detroit already is on two-week, paid leave.

The day after the incident, the school's principal, John Hilken, issued a letter admitting to parents that he acted in bad judgment, and should not have subjected the girls to this type of search.

Parents of three girls have told police their daughters and other girls were forced to disrobe down to their underwear while a female teacher looked for stolen money on Oct. 1.

"Some were taken down to their bra and panties and some had to pull their tops out and shake them," said mother Martha Feller.

Monroe Deputy Police Chief Thomas Moore says his office could present the case next week to prosecutors.

"They treat criminals like that, not 12-year-old innocent children," said Feller.

Feller's daughter said she feels humiliated and hasn't returned to class since the incident occurred.

"I hope that they will take them out of that school and make them pay for what they did to the children," said Feller.
