  1. This lady has been on TV, why? Why wasn't she arrested IMMEDIATELY locally???!! This is egregious that there seems to be double standards!

  2. If kids can decide their own gender, why can’t they own guns?

  3. Well I guess being as you hasn't show their picture yet we all know that it doesn't fit your narrative of what's wrong with America today

  4. Not mother's fault, if had prayer in school would not have happened.

  5. sending Thoughts and Prayers in advance to everyone lives in a G.un In.fested country …

    its only a matter of when gonna be your turn …

  6. They CAN NOT go after the gun charge or it will set legal precedent. This happens too often to hold parents accountable when their kids gain access to an unsecured handgun. The cops used to say "haven't they suffered enough" when they wouldn't press charges after a 4 year old kills a sibling or parent. It happens ALL THE TIME.

  7. Sounds like " backpage" kind of stuff. Who holds those dark secrets? A million unanswered questions to keep you up all night. A sense of psychological manipulation & emotional extortion targeted at this specific community, I know I'll breath easier when my youngest is home from LSU. Then, it could be A.I. making these cases go viral to learn our reaction to those situations. Or maybe we are part of a control group in a scientific experiment. I don't know what's up but it's kinda crazy.

  8. You can't charge the parent for the child shooting the teacher. The child has a 2nd amendment right to have a gun, even if he was 6 yrs old. The child in 11 yrs younger than Kyle Rittenhouse, tell me what is different here?

  9. Should be charged with attempted murder, too.

  10. Oh I see they only going after her because she was a drug user so to them she a throw away

  11. And she should but don't let it stop with her go after all the parents

  12. Danny Cevallos shouldn't be showing pictures of his daughters in the background.

  13. The Little MONSTER SHOULD be tried as an ADULT.

    THAT was his SECOND ( Read : 2nd) time attempting to MURDER one of his teachers.

    In the PREVIOUS attempt , he snuck up behind one of his teachers who was working at her desk. He then jumped up ; wrapped the hook of his elbow around her neck; locked his arms ; and HANGED his entire body weight down in his FEROCIOUS attempt to STRANGLE his teacher to DEATH ☠️💀. Another teacher who heard the commotion was able to pry the LITTLE MONSTER off of the choking teacher in the nick of time.

    There is NO Doubt whatsoever that THAT Little MONSTER will grow up to be a Future MURDERER/SERIAL KILLER.

    He needs to be LOCKED 🔐 UP for the Next 99+ YEARS.

    If NOT, there WILL be a NEXT time; and it could be one of YOUR family members.

  14. Great! Now let's go back in time and also charge the Parents of those 2 Columbine killers and so many more.

  15. Now lets do this fkr any kid unde 18 . Charge the irresponsible parent ans the kid

  16. 6 year old and mother should both face charges and be convicted. He knew what he was doing was bad and wrong.

  17. So, the Mom has been charged, but no one asks the question as to "WHY" a 6 yr old or first grader would target this teacher. Did she abuse him? Why her? Why is Mom being investigated and not teacher. He, in his child mind, and with a harsher sentence when we don't know lf he was erasing a threat.

  18. that man reporter was suppose to know the latest–
    but SHE did in the last seconds

  19. Awesome reporting nbc, very coherent and wonderfully spoken by your employees and schills…

  20. Kid was probably protecting themself from a groomer teacher.

  21. Wow great job teaching children how to do your bidding for life… This sucks people really doing horrible things for basically no reason… 🤦‍♂️

  22. I hope thaty kid gets put in a foster home. I hope his foster parents are mean to him. That kid sexually assualted a female peer in his class, nothing was done. He had brought a gun before, nothing was done. Finally he ended up shooting his teacher but no consequences for him huh? Kid should lose everything, that will straight him up real quick. He should learn actions have consequences. No consequences is BS!

  23. I thought America doesn't WANT sensible gun laws interfering with their 2a rights!!!

  24. Ask any teacher and they will tell you they have children in their school and even in a classroom just like this parent. Most teachers are all for parental rights and parents have always had rights but now there’s this big push so even when the school district wants to get their child help like this parent, she refused. At one point do we trust the professional educators? Has anyone ever connected this story and stories like this invite just leaving the profession? And why people are not going into education programs?.

    Over the last 5 to 7 years, there has been a huge uptick in disruptions, disrespect, chronic miss behavior, and even violence toward other students and teachers and children like this are continuously put back in the classroom with zero consequences, because “the children need an education, so I need to be in the classroom, no matter what “.

    You may not have heard much about this because most teachers are afraid to get in trouble and don’t speak up. Being a teacher is like being in abusive, codependent relationship and of course this is the extreme version but this is happening all across the country.
