my cousin and his friend go to a community school. a week ago, they were having a basket ball game at the school, so my cousin and his friend went to the teacher's lounge for sodas. One teacher sees my cousin and his friend and says wethey can stay, but hurry up, but another teacher comes up to them and takes there pictures, and then takes there sodas and throws it away. Can my cousin get in trouble?

The teacher who told them it's ok is complicit in the crime. As if she held the key and unlocked the door to let them in. Unless they want to prosecute her as well, I'd say the kids should be let off with a warning. Unless that teacher tries to lie to save her own skin. At least it should provide reasonable doubt, assuming anyone with a mind and reason is listening, and not some control freak psychos who usually end up "working with" kids.

They were given permission by the first teacher, and they were there while the school was open. They might get chastised a bit, but I don't think it would be cause for major action, unless they stole the sodas. Even so, I can't see the punishment being any larger than a detention or something. And I'm pretty sure the police would laugh heartily if they got a complaint of kids in the teacher's lounge. It should be ok.

Usually, kids are not allowed, by school policy, within certain areas of the school at given times. But, because the first teacher consented to your cousin and his friend to stay, but hurry up...if they do get into trouble, they will have to get the first teacher involved. Your cousin and his friend will have to talk to their parents about this---their parents are their advocates.
I wouldn't really worry about the situation...but I would give the parents the heads up.

They were given permission by the first teacher, so they should simply say so. Then the teachers should fight it out among themselves! You shouldn't be punished for doing something for which you've received permission from someone in charge, only because later it turned out that someone else of the same level doesn't agree with it. It's also wrong from the second teacher to throw their soda's away -he or she should've taken it up with the first teacher but not with the students who HAD PERMISSION!

It depends on the schools policy of whether students are allowed in the teachers lounge. Most students don't appreciate having to talk to the principal, especially when there's an unknown variable that could end up either way, but in this circumstance I'd say the Principal is your best bet.

Depends on the schools policy on students in the faculty only areas. I suggest digging into a handbook. If your intent was obviously not malicious, chances are it will slide without a huge issue being made of it.
But if there was another place you could have gotten soda, that changes the dynamic entirely.

Just have the kids say they didn't know they weren't allowed in there. That second teacher is an aszhole and the first teacher should have stood up for the kids.
