Why are you skeptical?

It DID occur! How do I know? Because my FRIEND, (note the the word FRIEND and not
'e-quaintance'), told me on the phone.

I would be surprised if the police spoke directly to the FTs during the meeting or had any direct contact with the FTs.

From your post, I wasn't sure if your friend indicated that had happened.

I don't doubt that the school received pressure.
