We could do posts on nothing but anti-ICE school walkouts. As we reported, creepy California State Sen. Scott Wiener joined in on an elementary school walkout and interviewed the fourth-grade boy who organized it. At some schools, teachers and administrators join in. We're reading about more and more parents who aren't happy with schools letting their minor children out of class to go play in the street without getting their permission. A couple of kids have been hit by cars during these "field trips with signs."

Dundee Middle School decided to have an anti-ICE walkout, and somehow, special needs sixth-grader Richard Harley got caught up in the action. He ended up alone by the highway, calling his mother to tell her he was scared and needed to be picked up.
An 11-year-old called his mom from the side of a busy highway, alone and terrified: “I’m very scared… come pick me up.”

His school didn’t even notice he was gone.

The post continues:
… disability plan — was left behind.
He wandered miles from campus during the chaos, all the way to Rt. 72 & Randall Rd — one of the busiest intersections in the county. No absence alert. No tardy notification. Nothing.
Harley has an IEP — a legally binding federal plan schools must follow to protect students with special needs. Not a suggestion. A contract.
His mom Alexa Blasdell: “If they can’t keep my kid safe, they need to take accountability for that.”
The district cited student privacy. A child walked miles alone in traffic. Those are not the same conversation.
Dundee Middle School didn’t just fail Harley — they violated a federal agreement they signed. And now he refuses to go back.
He’s 11. He shouldn’t have to be scared to go to school
OMG. An 11-year-old child with special needs found MILES away from school after he was left behind during an anti-ICE walkout.

The boy ended up calling his mother, who was unaware that a walkout had occurred
Why do schools keep allowing these to happen?pic.twitter.com/eAKGyxamME
The school is on the hook for this, hold them accountable. Sue them till they bleed, and then sue them some more.

Endangering the welfare of a child with special needs! Great job. 🤬

As the parent of a daughter with special needs- I can’t even imagine….

No more federal dollars. Fire the teachers. Sue the school board.

He could have been hit by a car or abducted. This is not oversight this is neglect! They knew he was with them!
— Roni Jaure (@RoniJaure) February 20, 2026
Imagine if he didn't have a cell phone with him.
I hope she sues.

My kid had an IEP when he was in public schools and quite frankly, many schools don’t enforce them.
This is just awful. His parent(s) needs to sue his teacher, the school counselors (they prepared the IEP), his principal, and the district into oblivion.

This story could have had a very tragic ending.
That’ll show ICE. 🙄

No consequences, no changes.

Sue them.
He was on an IEP. That's a legal document that they obviously didn't follow. Those parents are going to own that school district.

Lawsuit inbound. I would be so pissed. I would sue the district, the principal, the teacher. I wouldn't stop until I was living in all their homes.

It's bad enough that high schools are having these walkouts regularly, but a middle school? This kid is 11, and no one knew he was missing or where he was.
