19 school buses vandalized at Green Hope High in Cary

Site Search

Cary, N.C. — Cary police are looking for whoever is responsible for vandalizing 19 school buses at Green Hope High School over the weekend.

A school employee discovered graffiti on 18 yellow buses and an activity bus, parked outside the school at 2500 Carpenter Upchurch Road, around 4 p.m. Sunday.

Investigators said Monday that they don't believe the graffiti is gang-related or racially motivated.

They are also reviewing security video at the school, but did not have any suspects as of Monday morning.

Anyone with information that can help investigators is asked to contact the Cary Police Department at 919-469-4012 or Cary Crime Stoppers at 919-226-2746.

Additional cleaning crews were on hand Monday to clean the buses, according to the Wake County Public School System.

Some buses did run late as a result but all of them were operating.

It doesn't matter what activities there are for kids to do...there is always going to be a select few that want to do the "bad" things. No parents, government, skate parks, naughty or nice list is going to change that. Don't blame the parents for this one. It's probably the first time (probably not the last) that some kids did this crazy thing and the parents trusted them (they were at the library). So how is this the parents fault? You don't have to be a bad parent to have "bad" kids. If my kids did something that extreme you can bet they would have a belt to their behinds but I'm not suffering the consequences of their actions. A parent can't be with a child 24/7 and anyone that says they are...they have issues. (I don't mean a baby or toddler.

Kids do stupid and malicious stuff. Maybe the parents in this case are lazy or unobservant but I wasn't and my son still did stupid stuff a couple of times. It never went unpunished. My point is that maybe some are quick to blame the parents which isn't totally fair 100% of the time. Kids have big mouths so hopefully some will brag and the delinquents responsible will be found and held accountable.
