  1. Why is this kid so protected

  2. Clearly a child only a mother could like.Others can tell a freak of nature.

  3. This happens when parents behave like rotten people, brainwashing school admins into idiots, and there you go.

  4. Maybe the kid didn't want to be groomed anymore. Virginia is pretty WOKE about that stuff.

  5. At our school, a kid who is a habitual offender was sent to the "time out" room with a form. He would not have been allowed to play basketball per his coach's rules. His admin. tore up the referral and walked with him around the school so his time out wouldn't be recorded and he could play basketball that night.

  6. The anti christs. I guess you’ll find out, and struggle to do so, once you know the scale of you as well.

  7. Good for her…. That is one of the first thing you learn .. if you see something do something…..

  8. Nah, they are just a little kid, nothing could be serious…. Thats old time thinking! Ridiculous. Teachers should just bypass bosses and call cops themselves. Evil knows no age. If a kid makes threats don’t ignore it, they need to learn at an early age that threats are illegal and will not be tolerated in society! Time for new qualified administrators. Bye old guard.

  9. It was his mothers gun? How come not his Dads? Ohh wait i bet i know why LOL

  10. He was taught that she's a "colonizer",
    What did you expect?

  11. I love how the same parents saying “y’all have no right to search my child, or confiscate their things..” 😂 Dems deserve this L

  12. Finally— a teacher with ballz to act. For all the teachers across the nation who are silent — I hope they pay you millions upon millions — make them an EXAMPLE!!

  13. BS, they didn't "miss" warnings. They purposefully ignored them because they'd rather have a de-d hwite teacher than an offended blck mother.

  14. We get it the teacher is a cute girl
    Now show the parents of the shooter
    or is that racist?

  15. Public school is more concerned about gender pronouns than learning, safety, nurturing children.

  16. Parents were not Republicans or supporters of Donald Trump or their names and a picture of their house would be all over the news.
    The parents need to be held accountable also.

  17. This kid had more red flags than a Chinese New Year parade.

  18. Public school is not a safe place anymore. Americans dont deserve the education they throw away.

  19. What are the odds that the administrator, who told the teacher that it was not necessary to search the six-year-old, is an NRA nutjob who thinks that a child carrying a firearm is what red-blooded Americans do?

  20. This lady should get damages. This is unreal

  21. Whats with your headline!? The school didn't "missed' the warnings, they Ignored them!

  22. Next time, this rotten little cretin will double-tap, just like his idols. Give him a couple years to practice. He won't give up.

  23. Compared to police shootings, I'd guess she should get upwards of $50 Million. There's your stupid taxes at work.

  24. try him as an adult. this is what happens when little kids go on tik tok, we are doomed

  25. a law abiding citizen /s

  26. What would push that kid over the edge? Homework?

  27. If they boy was black, they would have had the bomb squad on him already & this wouldn’t happen

  28. Wow! Lord have Mercy! So she didn't need to have been shot! That's a shame. They didn't even call the police to come to the school!

  29. The 6 year old was black and it was allowed, it's the culture

  30. people going insane these days

  31. Schools have thier hands tied. They legally could not expell him. Parents would have been sued if the kid was not allowed to be in school or if any of his so called rights were taken away. So in turn sue the pants off his parents, Make sure they give her all their furture earnings. They would have sued her for any reason at all.

  32. Sounds like that kid needs to be deleted or we can wait until he grows up and does something.
