  1. I’ve never ever heard of parents attending class with their child, why is there not an EA in class working with him? These parents are absolute idiots and deserve to be held accountable. This doesn’t just affect this teacher (who I feel horrible for and wish everything good) , it affects everyone in that school, their parents etc. This kid created an enormous trauma for so many people. Never have I considered my child being in a classroom with a gun toting 6 year old. But I am Canadian.

  5. Excellent work, Mary. I hope you change the minds of Trump’s supporters. Such a heinous individual.

  6. Sue is really brave and compassionate. What a horrible situation to experience. She’s very genuine. Teens hide things from parents no matter what your relationship is with them. You can’t know every single thing your teen is thinking, even if you’re a wonderful, connected parent.

  7. That’s life with a chronic health condition, now Drs might actually get what we have been experiencing for years too.

  9. Med shaming is not necessary, ever. You’re incorrect that pysch meds make everyone look and feel emotionless, so wrong.

  13. Heartbreaking and maddening what happened to these children and their teachers. He’s a great, brave and strong kid and he has incredible parents. So unfair and horrifying what happened to him. 😢❤

  15.  @christophertilley2629  meds can be an important part of treating mental illnesses. Many of us wouldn’t be here without them. Supports are also vitally important and yes, there are massive problems with wait lists etc. which needs to change.

  16. I completely agree!

  20. Agree, and I’m so sorry you went through that.

  21. Christina Beck his supporters aren’t generally very intelligent either, like Trump, so they likely won’t connect the dots. But it would be nice if they did realize he cares only about one person, himself.

  22. What a genuine, kind guy. He totally deserves every gift he gets.

  23. Michelle’s life story particularly breaks my heart. So much trauma.

  24.  @moneybags999  I’ve worked with ODD kids before. My EA friend has been hit, spit on, kicked, had her glasses thrown across the room by students too. EA’s go through a lot. Kids are entitled to an education and it’s a fine balance between them being in the classroom, taking breaks to calm down etc. and keeping them out of the classroom so they don’t disrupt other students. Controlling children is never the reasoning though, you don’t control kids or make them obey. This kid though, sounds like he shouldn’t have been in a “regular” classroom but a specialized one, which almost all schools have.

  25. I cannot believe these States have these laws in place. So backward, so sexist, inhumane and disgusting. Women deserve the right to choose, and abortions are medical procedures that every woman should have access to without harassment and shaming. #prochoice.

  26. I wonder what the parents were doing when he wandered off? Scary. 😨

  32. Skills?! 🫤 I hope she’s never heard from again. You do realize she’s done this to save face and because she knew she got caught.

  33. Post traumatic stress disorder, not dramatic.

  34. It’s not a big deal, his first language obviously isn’t English, we all know what he meant.

  35. He’s still in denial, just disgusting. Feel horrible for those girls. He’s a predator.

  38.  @lindickison3055  absolutely for conferences etc. but yes, having parents in daily all day would be difficult and odd. My parents were both teachers too. Hope you are enjoying your retirement years. 🙂

  41.  @seangoff9578  She 100% will not go onto greater things. Admitting you are wrong is great when you do it not because you’ve been caught, but because you realized it yourself. Shes not an example of anyone to look up to or admire.

  44.  @amandabeaty1492  Oh I absolutely agree! The Evangelicals and Mormons push their agendas into everything they can, it’s repulsive and horrifying. I am both incredibly sad and angry to hear about what happened to this trans athlete, that’s so horrible. 😡😩

  45.  @amandabeaty1492  I responded to this earlier and my comment got eaten by YouTube apparently. That’s true and the evangelical Christians here try to dominate everything, it’s so disturbing and ridiculous. That is awful that this teen athlete endured that hate and abuse. I’m absolutely angry and appalled.

  61. Seriously? He kept him there to protect him from attempting suicide. Putting the burden on the School counsellor is truly disgusting. 😡

  62.  @enough1494  That was the information he had at that time, the parents gave him *nothing*, when they could’ve told him a lot of important info. He’s not a mind reader and he did his best to show Ethan he cared about him in this situation. The concern was his suicidal ideation as that was showing as the main issue at that time. If you don’t understand that the staff did all they could with the information they had, then that’s on you. This is the fault of his parents who never cared about this struggling, mentally ill kid.
