Rapò sa a eksplore done sou repons lapolis nan plis pase 12,000 entèvansyon "timoun nan kriz", kote yon elèv ki nan detrès emosyonèl yo retire nan klas la epi yo transpòte nan lopital la pou evalyasyon sikolojik. Yon pati disproporsyone nan entèvansyon sa yo te enplike elèv Nwa yo, elèv ki nan lekòl Distri 75 yo, ak elèv ki nan lekòl ki nan kominote koulè ki gen revni fèb. Nou mande vil la pou mete fen nan kriminalizasyon elèv ki nan kriz emosyonèl nan elimine lapolis nan lekòl yo epi envesti nan sipò ak sèvis sante mantal ak konpòtman.
