Mom charged after putting recording device in daughter's backpack
In late September, Sims says she had enough. She tells 10 On Your Side her 9-year-old daughter was getting bullied at Ocean View Elementary. She says repeated calls and emails to the school went un-returned. [...] Sims says she took actions into her own hands. She wanted to prove that nothing was being done to help her 4th grade daughter. She put a digital recorder into her daughter's backpack in hopes of catching audio from inside the classroom. "If I'm not getting an answer from you what am I left to do?" she asked. The recorder was found. The 9-year-old was moved to a new classroom and about a month later Sims was charged by police.
[...] Sims was charged with felony use of device to intercept oral communication and misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The felony charge could carry five years in prison.

The Hampton Roads region is not "the south". Ever been there? It's one huge military base with a nice resort area at one end.
Culturally, it has more in common with Baltimore or Newark than Savannah or Raleigh-Durham.

However, in one word, where's that region? South fits quite well.

never been there, but I'm quite certain that virginia is NOT the north, as far as attitudes go.
most certainly south.
note, I never said deep south, but its surely a southern state.
