This is the wording of BC Section 177 law directly copied off the BC Government website as of July 2018 (and the old version is on v bottom from approx 2012). This massively corrupt law created by BC politicians, backroom permanent government bureaucrats with the input of a select crony group of BC school superintendents is intentionally written so ambiguous that it can be & is used for any reason a school superintend so decides upon a under-aged child or a parent. This slick & dirty group of politicians & their cronies created the wording of Section 177 legislative law to appear like the police were on-board. It goes without saying that the police can be called by any citizen within Canada, so why does this law mention them if not to trick the public to make this law appear legit ? It is word-play by legislators that know this law is being repeatedly misused to intimidate citizens from contacting the news media & or reporting violent acts & indiscretions by their group of cronies in the BC public school system & being used directly on under-aged children ! The BC Ministry of Education has know these facts since 2012 but are desperate to protect the image of our school system at any cost & their superintendent cronies than they regard our Canadian Charter, laws used directly on under-aged children with zero transparency & harm done to families. BC Section 177 is the only law in Canada's history in which a person in power can decide to charge, then convict without evidence & sentence a child or parent for a alleged (made up) crime with no definitive or transparent reason given. BC Section 177 is a corrupt law & recipe for abuse.  Click to view Section 177 petition
