Well, no. She's collecting tax payer dollars because a school administrator didn't do anything when told that the child might have a gun.
Well, no. The mother had the gun in the house that the child used. Thankfully the mother is now in jail and the administrator is facing charges still...The craziest thing out of all this is...The student was not charged with wrongdoing and is reportedly in the care of a relative and enrolled at a different school.
The student was 6 years old ffs
And a school shooter...your point...yea sorry gonna sound harsh hear but the child should be in some sort of mental facility...this is just a snapshot of a long criminal future..
Wow, you are scum to write off a child's entire life like that. Yeah, you're definitely an American "Christian conservative" (quoting another of your comments from elsewhere). I'm writing you off - it's a shame you didn't get the same treatment you're advocating when you were a kid.
I didn't shoot my teacher with a gun..so there is that..no need for name calling... The truth usually stings a little...
It often stings a LOT, but I can see why you wouldn't know that considering your obvious disdain for it.
hahaha you funny.. call out one lie...ill wait for it.....waiting for it........still waiting for it...........
Well at least you understand and acknowledge that being a Christian Conservative is bad and that it's an insult to be called such
What is this prattle here...
Housing in a "mental facility" (at least here in the US) would make that outcome all but certain. The kid needs regular assessment and help from professionals, sure. With a loving home and safe caregivers through the rest of childhood it will be possible for him to recover and reconcile with his actions, so I hope that's what he's getting.
Mental facilities really aren't very good. He will have a better chance of turning his life around while living in a home, with a family, and recieving mental health therapy.
This is a perfect example of the noncentral fallacy. When you say 'school shooter' what comes to mind is a sixteen year old sociopath murdering a dozen people in a planned terrorist attack, not a six year old who is incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions.
You mean the Truth..kid in school shoots teacher...text book definition of school shooting..."school shooter" is an individual who opens fire in a school setting, causing injury or death to at least one person. These events can occur in elementary, middle, or high schools, and colleges or universities, and are a type of active shooter situation. Definitions can vary, with some criteria focusing on the location and timing of the shooting, and others including incidents at school-sponsored events, even if they are not during regular school hours.
Well... yes? Did you read the article? Or the thread you're replying to?
There are two court cases here (as you seem to understand...) - a civil case against the school, which awarded monetary damages to the teacher (as civil cases often do), and a criminal case against the mother, which awarded prison time (as criminal cases often do). Quite literally, as I stated in the post you replied to, the monetary damages she's collecting are because the school administrator didn't do her job. The prison time the mother is serving is because she had an unsecured firearm in her house that the child used. They're two different things.
That's a convenient thought to absolve the mother.
While the administrator carries responsibility for the lack of action, they did not shape the child's mind nor circumstance that led to this situation in the first place.
It's not absolving the mother of anything. This is a civil case against the school specifically because the administrator did not do their job. There was a separate, criminal case against the mother, which came with its own penalties.
The point was that it's a shame the taxpayer is on the hook for this. Not that the mother is solely at fault and the administrator isn't.
