In the Matter of S.M.S., 196 N.C. App. 170 (2009)

Held: 
Affirmed

The trial court properly denied the juvenile’s motion to dismiss the petition for second degree trespass where the evidence showed that he entered the girl’s locker room at school, that he knew that it was the girl’s locker room and that he was not allowed inside, and that he was breaking school rules by going into the girl’s locker room. The Court of Appeals also stated, however, that it was unclear to the court “why our Courts were involved in this matter when the school, in its administrative capacity, was fully capable of dealing with respondent’s conduct and disciplining him appropriately.”
