The parent further explained that the female students were called into a room, where the female officer took their book bags and searched them, then she ordered each girl to strip naked. "My daughter had to remove her underwear and begin squatting for the officer to see if the telephone would drop out of their private area. I want to know how a blackberry phone can fit into a child's vagina she asked." A female student who went through the ordeal said the officer was mocking some of the girls about their buttocks. The student said the officer was making fun of the girls she stripped and had squatting for long periods before she ordered them to get dressed and get out of the room. Another parent who sent several SMS messages to SMN News said the parents are furious because the officer told some of the students that they had "nice asses". The parent explained that she understands that the students had to be searched but she could not understand why they had to strip naked and squat. She said a BlackBerry phone is not a small phone and students have to be protected against such actions, she also said that the remarks made by the police officers were inappropriate.
Interim Police Spokesman Geronimo Juliet said he was not aware of the incident when he was contacted for a comment.
