I work in animal control.
It wouldn't even get to that point because as soon as our admin called me, I'd laugh and refuse the job. No animal control person will do this, it's a fucking ludicrous idea and absolutely filled with issues to be sued over.
Kid doesn't willfully come? Do I use a catch pole and drag him out of school? He'll be dead before we get to the front doors. Everybody is sued.
What if the kid attacks me, tries to stab me etc because I'm basically attempting to execute the function of the police with no training (yes yes, I know the cops have fuck all training but at least they are legally able to restrain etc, they are in the legal position to deal with it). I'll take an angry dog over a kid with a knife any day.
In short- the guy is an absolute fuckwit and this idea makes no sense.
