School administrators have a legal and ethical responsibility to take immediate action when they receive warnings about potential safety threats, regardless of their current activities or workload. In this case, Dr. Ebony Parker, assistant principal at Richneck Elementary School, was charged with child endangerment for ignoring multiple warnings from teachers about a student who brought a firearm to school. The case demonstrates that school safety protocols require administrators to prioritize student safety over other duties, and that failure to act on known safety threats can result in legal consequences.

Hello everybody.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hey buttercup. What's up? Cute.
There's my lady. Mysterious stepto. How you doing girl?
What's going on, Tina?
Good evening, Miss Robin.
Hey, Tutu. Glad you like the music, love.
Kind of fond of it myself.
Hey, Miss White, how are you?
Teesha, how's it going this evening?
All right, guys.
I hope Taye makes her way over. We're covering the case, the court trial she wanted to cover, even though Tina blew it for us because I truly was not following it.
Thank you, love. I'm glad you like it, too. Um, excuse me.
I genuinely was not following the case.
I had heard about it and um a lot of times if it's not really really really big like the Julio Fulio case and other big cases Casey Anthony I would have loved to have been a YouTuber then and therefore a content creator cuz oh lord I would have ripped that little girl from I would have ripped that mama to shred. threads. But anyway, you guys, please excuse my voice. I just woke up from a really long, wonderful nap now. I'm probably going to be up till 2 3:00 in the morning, but I'm just waking up. And so, I'm trying to give Taye a chance to get over here.
I don't have her phone number, so I couldn't contact her to let her know.
But I did say yesterday that we would go live at 7:00. However, I saw that she was somewhere else in these YouTube streets doing her thing and um you know I was watching another CC doing her thing and uh that's where Special K and Tay was and I didn't say anything. I didn't, you know, I didn't even get in the chat. you know, I like to watch the CC and check out their style and and see if it's, you know, a house I want to visit again. And she she is she a cool chick. And um so I know that that's where Special K and Tay was. I'm just trying to wait. Give Tay a chance. Just give it a few more minutes if you guys want to listen to some more music.
I'm sure it's a few of y'all in here that won't mind.
Um, Miss Steto, you okay?
Y'all, I called Miss Steto today and um she was so shy.
She was surprised. I I surprised her and um called her. She had given me her number and I said, "Well, let me let me um let me surprise her."
And I called her and the Lord have mercy, she just couldn't get it together.
It's okay, boo. It's all right.
H I do that from time to time, you know.
I do. I do it from time to time. And like I told you in our private conversation, anytime you want to talk, just give me a call. I'm here to listen.
Lady can tell you, Tina can tell you.
And there are a few others that um have chosen not to be on YouTube anymore.
You know, we still talk, but YouTube has gotten so crazy that they just they've just elected not to be here anymore. And I'm sure you guys have noticed their absence.
And I miss them up here with us, right?
And I'm sure a few of them are sitting in the bushes, but they just don't want to be seen.
you know, they pop in and out, that sort of thing.
But that's what YouTube does to some people. They just don't care to be a part of it anymore. They don't want to witness all of the chaos that we all know that's been going on lately. So, a few of our family members, you know, they sit up in the bleachers, not in the bushes. They have their lawn chairs and they're sitting up in the bleachers watching. They they quietly come in and they quietly tiptoe out, you know.
So, all right. Well, we're going to get started here cuz I don't want to hold you guys up. You guys are here and on time. Even though I was late, I said 7:00. So, you know, like I said, I was trying to give the person Taye, I'm chosen, a chance to finish up where she was. I was giving her that grace. And um so, we're going to get started here. And me add this there.
This is the case of the assistant principal, Ebony Parker, who was charged with the weapon attack of one of the students.
Um, and this is the opening statements.
You will hear from that teacher because she witnessed the events, but she is a witness.
The victim of this crime are the children.
The defendant, Dr. Ebony Parker, was the assistant principal at Richneck Elementary at the time. She was the person who was paid to take care of those children.
And around 11:40 a.m., Miss Werner had seen a particular child who you will learn has a long history, a long history of discipline issues of which Dr. Parker was already aware well before January 6 of 2023.
But Miss Warner observed something about this student that worried her. You're going to hear from her and you're going to hear what that concern was and then she's going to tell you that she went to Dr. Parker and warned her warned her that this child who we refer to as JT was in a violent mood.
You'll hear that she said, "I don't know what I'm going to do if he hits me."
That is the knowledge that Dr. Parker had of the history of JT. That and more. But at 11:45 a.m., Miss Dwarner walks in, tells Dr. Parker that JT is in a violent mood, and Dr. partner does not respond to her, stares at her blankly for just a moment, and then returns to her work in her office.
The warning ignores.
You're going to hear that this child's past means that no warning should be ignored because you're going to hear from a teacher that taught JT the year before.
You're going to hear about the violence that that teacher experienced at the hands of a kindergarten.
And you're going to hear about the report that that teacher made to Dr. Parker in that year.
And that Dr. Parker's response was blank stare, look back down, do nothing. the same response she had at 11:45 a.m. on January 6th, 2023.
But that warning was not the only warning. At 12:20, a reading specialist tells Dr. Parker that she thinks maybe JT has a thyroid.
She says may maybe it's a toy, maybe it's real, I don't know.
She thinks JT has a firearm.
She says, "I'm going to search his backpack."
Dr. Parker really doesn't reply to her, but she goes and searches the backpack.
Doesn't find anything in the backpack.
Meanwhile, there are some concerning observations that are happening on the playground with JT.
And you'll learn why teachers and counselors then come to expect that JT has taken that firearm out of his bag and put it into his coat and is carrying it around on a playground full of elementary age students at Richneck Elementary School.
You're going to hear that he showed it to another brave student who then reported young RR reported exactly what he had seen to a teacher.
He was terrified, understandably shaken, crying when he reported what he'd seen.
At 12:30, that reading specialist goes back to Dr. Parker and says, "I think he has the gun in his jacket."
"Do not. His mom will be here soon." She says, "I can only imagine how that made RR feel."
But around one year, a counselor goes to Dr. Parker and says, "I want to search the child. Can I search him, his person?"
She says, "No."
Merson for over an hour multiple people went to Dr. Parker and told her there was an armed child at an elementary school running around with interacting with children in the classroom, children on the playground, children in the hallways.
multiple warnings brought directly to her.
She says do nothing.
Does she say search the child? No. Does she say call the police or does she call the police? No.
Does she remove the child from the classroom and separate? No.
She didn't even get up from her desk.
She didn't even leave her office.
Warning after warning after warning, she did nothing. The crisis in this case did not begin with the firing of a gun.
The crisis in this case began at 11:45 a.m. when Miss Werner initially warned Dr. Parker that there was a problem.
That was the moment Dr. partner should have left the office and investigated.
There is a moment that will be described to you by a witness on the stand this morning where after all that she now knows, all the suspicions that she's now heard and repeatedly she's heard people that Miss Kobach and others are going and telling Dr. department.
She sees JT in the classroom wearing the big coat.
She's nervous.
And if in an instant she sees him, pull out that gun and aim it directly at her face.
And before she has a chance to do anything but raise her hand up, JT fires that weapon.
It hits this worm.
At the moment that he fires that weapon, there are 19 children right there.
And that's why I tell you that this case is not about Miss Word. This case is about the 19 children whose lives were endangered in that moment, but in the moments before as well.
Those children were some of them between the gun and miser.
Some of them a slight movement of the gun could have hit a child instead of this word. They're right there.
some standing shouldertosh shoulder with the shooter. All of them, you'll learn, watched as their teacher clutched her chest and bled before these children, screaming in horror, ran across the hallway to another teacher's classroom. And Miss Werner ran to the office and collapsed on the floor.
Where at that point was Dr. Parker?
She had locked herself down in her office.
Was the school on lockdown? Not yet.
Still no.
But a few minutes after Mrs. Werner enters the room, a receptionist, Miss Oliveria, does finally put the school and loved him.
I commend her for doing that. She should have had and it was too little too late.
Back in Miss Werner's classroom, Miss Kovac has shown up, the reading specialist I told you about earlier.
She knows JT. She knows his history.
And when she heard that gunshot, she knew exactly what happened. and she went straight into that classroom.
She found in that classroom the gun lying on the floor. You'll learn that that gun contains seven rounds, one of which seven rounds plus one that was uh jammed in the action of the firearm. So, eight that was that was unspent.
Annie Kovak enters that room and she just puts JT in a bear hug as she calls 911.
She holds that child there until police arrived.
She will tell you that that whole time she was saying he he was cursing.
He was saying explaining that he's teacher and she was saying like the consumate faculty teacher she is don't use that bad language you know better.
She's doing the best she can to control the situation alone in a classroom where a teacher has just been shot.
Miss Kobe, the reading specialist, also the one who searched the book bag after telling Dr. Parker that's what she's going to do.
A task that I don't think reading specialists are supposed to do in an emergency. And the reason that I don't think that is because school policy at the time said exactly that.
Richneck had adopted a crisis management plan and that plan required teachers and faculty members to report crisis situations to administrators and it required administrators to take actions. One such policy from the Newport News Handbook, you'll learn, was that uh in terms of searching a student that could only be done by an administrator or a school security officer. And at the time of this shooting, there was no school security officer at this building. They shared their security officer with another building. And so the security officer was at the other school.
So at the moment of this crisis there were exactly two people two people in the building who had the authority under the policy to take action and those two people were the principal Miss Newton and the assistant principal Dr. Parker.
But let me remind you of how I started today.
There was only one person that had both the knowledge of the ongoing crisis and the authority to act.
While Miss Newton, the principal, certainly had the authority to act, she had no ideas about any of this because Dr. Partner, nor anyone else, bothered to tell her.
Miss Newton, you'll learn, didn't get any of these suspicions that day.
She she didn't know any of this was happening until there was a gun.
So she had authority but no knowledge that there was a problem. It's only Dr. Parker that had both of those things.
When you hear from this these faculty members, they will tell you that they wish they had violated the policy.
In hindsight, there'll be no question.
They regret it. They regret following Newport News policy. They will tell you to a person that they wish they had just searched the kid and gotten the gun or they wish they had just called the police.
That's what that's what they say in hindsight. And you know what?
I would bet that Dr. Parker also wishes she had done differently. I do. But here's the difference.
The policies that were in place enabled, in fact, required Dr. Parker to act.
The teachers, on the other hand, and faculty, if they were to act, they'd be acting against the policies that were in place that day. And that is a significant difference.
There was only one person in the school that day that had both the authority to act and the knowledge of an ongoing crisis and that person you'll see was Dr. Parker. Many people knew the crisis had begun.
Two people had the authority to do something about it but only one person had both.
During the course of this trial, uh, we are going to mention a lot of initials.
We're not saying the names of the children because we don't want to put their names out there to let this be their story for them. So, we're asking everyone that testifies and all of the personnel will definitely be using initials. I say that because that's going to be a lot of initials.
The judge talked to you about taking notes earlier and is your choice. Um, these will be distributed to those who wish to to take notes here in a few moments. Let me encourage you that almost all of the important evidence in this case is going to come out piece by piece by piece, puzzled, little detail by little detail from several witnesses who will take the stand to testify. and all you'll have is your memory read back to you as the court deciding to ask a question and they're always told by the judge we can't answer that question giving you that heads up judge instructs you on a lot of details in order to really pay attention to refresh your own memory because January 6 20.3 20 students went into Miss Warner's classroom and their lives were forever changed.
The trauma that they experience is unseen and you will hear from some of the parents about that trauma.
That shouldn't happen.
And the one person who had both the authority and the knowledge that a crisis was ongoing is the reason that it happened.
And we think at the end the evidence will show you exactly.
All right, let's unpack that.
Anybody have anything they want to start with?
Anything at all? I see Tina has um given us the information of the judge's name, Rebecca Robertson. Tina, I want to ask you, you said that you um Miss White Ebony Parker is the assistant principal at the school of which one of the students shot their teacher.
Right. Lady Wooa.
Tina, I want to ask you, you said that you blew it for a reason, that you had your reasons. Can you tell us why?
What's your reason for telling us ahead of time what the verdict was, what the outcome was?
I'd like to know.
Um, in my opinion, I have a few things that um a few reactions or opinions about what was said by the um by um by the prosecutor.
I have a few things. Um, one, let me see. The babies have to heal. And being that I live in that state, that's why you told us that she that the charges were dropped is because the babies have to heal. I don't understand that. What does one thing have to do with the other, love?
And What does where you live or the fact that you live in that state have to do with telling us the outcome of the trial.
The children's are going to the children the students are going to have to heal regardless if we have watched the whole trial without knowing or you telling us.
They're going to have to heal regardless.
And you living in that state, you're going to live there rather or not. We watch the whole trial without knowing the the outcome.
So, I don't I don't I don't get it. Love Miss White said, "I don't blame them because YouTube is becoming very messy and disturbing." It is. It is, Miss White. You've got to have a certain kind of skin, a certain You got to be able to compartmentalize when it comes to YouTube.
Some people get uh emotionally invested and they can't compartmentalize it like emotionally.
And some people they carry it subconsciously like they don't even know that it's affecting them the way that it it is until stuff starts to happen with them. And and luckily some of our people had the wherewithal to say, you know, I got to go and protect my peace, right? I tell you guys that all the time. Please protect your peace if you can't deal with the details because I I'm going to give the story as thoroughly as I can.
you have the control of your mute button as well as you know backing up out of the live all together, right? And so I give you guys um a you know power of your autonomy and do what it is that you guys need to do. And I'm going to reiterate that. Please protect your peace.
Tina says, "I live in the city and because it's personal to me is because my niece and nephews and grandchildren." Tina, what I'm saying to you, boo, is and I don't know if if I'm asking the the question the right way so that you can understand and you guys you guys can can chime in here and and then we're, you know, we're not going to beat the dead horse about it.
Um, to me, one has nothing to do with the other.
Where you live, where your nieces and nephews and grandchildren live has nothing to do with you telling us the outcome of the trial. That's all I'm saying.
I am not negating the importance of the trial to you and those that you love. I am not negating um the you know anybody's opinion about the outcome of the trial.
All I'm simply saying is in my opinion, you didn't have to tell us that because what happened the day or the moment after you heard the outcome happened anyway. It did not change the trajectory of your life in any kind of way. yet the things that you're bringing up um would if you had taken different actions. Like if at the end of that trial you packed up, you got up, packed up, grabbed your nieces and nephews and grandchildren and your daughter, you know what I mean? And left town, then I can see you saying, you know what I mean, that that affected you that way. And but but still, you know what I mean? The fact the outcome of this trial has no bearings on any of us.
The only bearings that it may have is that some some idiot is sitting in a dark spot being negatively affected by this woman quote unquote getting off.
You know what I mean? But that's Virginia, so let's see how that's going to work out, right?
Lady said, I'm like, wow. That the courts pretty much it's like this is not a crime. Um it was the judges um decision from what I understand I don't know I thought part of this was strictly I thought in some in somewhere in some of my research, I heard them say that it was jur it was not a jury, it was a judge trial. But here in this opening statements, it looked as if he was talking to a jury. So, I'm confused on that lady. But I get you now on one hand, and I Please, guys, come on. Talk to me, Miss White. Stepto, come on y'all. Uh, Buttercup, jump in here, y'all. Um, I feel like the the the assistant principal should have done more. Now, we haven't heard her side of the story yet, and we're going to we're going to hear it. But right now, just reacting to the prosecutor, and don't don't get me wrong, prosecutors, they have a fight in the in the a dog in the fight just like defense attorneys do. And they spin [ __ ] just like defense attorneys do, right? They want to win just like defense attorneys do. They want to keep their job, too.
And so they put a little more spice on it than often times what really exists, right?
But in any case, I feel like the vice principal didn't do enough. I I I feel like she did it. I feel like she left that responsibility being one of the only two people that could do anything about if something had been found in that book bag.
She left it to someone that has no authority to do anything to go and check.
And I feel like that was wrong.
that was her job to do or to get up off her ass or pick up her phone and and you know call the principal and say, "Hey, we got a problem. Can you come to my office or are you busy? Can I come to your office? We need to talk. We got to do something right now." That's what I feel like she should have done and she didn't, right? Cuz like the prosecutor said, and there are some things that prosecutors just can't lie about, right? Because if they are lying, the defense could have could have and and I don't know if the defense gave an opening statement, but we'll see. Um, you know, could come back and say, "Yeah, the prosecutor lied to y'all. 10 people in that building had the power to do something, the authority to do something.
Um, Tina said the protectors wasn't working that day when this happened.
She says Ebony Parker wouldn't be teaching or supervising my child or grandchildren or nieces or nephews.
Sorry, but not sorry. Hear you, babe. I hear you.
Um, I feel like she owes those students, their parents, that teacher, and her loved ones an explanation as to why she didn't she wasn't more diligent in her duties.
Why didn't she contact the principal, which is her boss, and let her know or him know, I think it was a her, what was going on? Why didn't she get up off her ass, get to that classroom, and get that book bag, isolate that student. They could have put the student in the in the office.
I'm not saying isolate him where there's no one around, but they could have taken that student in the office to the principal and them to while calling his parents and the police talk to him and inadvertently isolating him and keeping everyone else in that school safe.
I feel like that's what she should have done.
You know what I mean? She She just She didn't do enough for me. I can't wait to hear the reasons why this judge let her off because I don't agree.
You know what I mean? Hey, Miss Robin. I don't know if I spoke to you earlier. I don't remember seeing your name, but thank you for joining us, love.
I do. I can't wait to hear the judge's justification for letting this um for letting uh Ebony Parker, Dr. Parker off because I wouldn't have.
She was derelic in her duties. She was had that child shot other students. Then what?
You know what I mean? Luckily, he did it while he was outside in the playground playing. Luckily, he didn't get it in his head. Let's Let's play cops and robbers.
You know what I'm saying?
Pow pow, I got you type of childish stuff that they do. Luckily, he didn't do that because then this conversation would be much different.
So, yeah. In my opinion, she was derelicking her duties. Now, the teacher that did go and check the backpack, why didn't any of that other staff go to the principal?
When the assistant principal said, "Yeah, talk to you later. You go do that." I WOULD HAVE FELT SOME TYPE OF way as a teacher, I would have SAID TO MYSELF, "WAIT A MINUTE, CHICKY. This ain't even my job.
You supposed to be doing this, right? Or you and Miss Principal supposed to be doing this? Don't be telling me, "Yeah, good job. Thank you." Don't be doing Uhhuh.
And get up off. Hey, Miss Wilson, get up off your ass. COME CHECK THIS [ __ ] YOURSELF, little girl. I'm going to tell. And I would have went right to the principal. So, I'm wondering why none of the other staff, including the victim in this, right? including the victim in this.
Why didn't they?
Why didn't they um go and tell the principal, right?
Um, so I think they should have. That's just me. I think they should have.
I think it was their duty to do that as well.
Hold on one second, please. Yeah.
Okay, I'm back. Thanks, guys. Um, okay. So, exactly, Miss White. None of us are. And Tina is not allowing us to all together come to, you know, learn about this case. You know what I mean? She's kind of jumping ahead of us. And it's kind of frustrating me because I don't want to ignore anyone in the chat, but I want everybody to kind of follow along at the same time.
However, it's in the chat, so I'll read it. Tina said, "The mother spent two years in jail. The mother's name is Deja Taylor. The mother has a wrap sheet and arm long." I don't care what the mother has. the mother. The only thing that is that the mother is the only responsibility that the mother holds in this situation to me is the fact that she did not secure the firearm if that's where her child got it from. That's the only thing. Far too often we bring the parents in this as if it's the parents fault other than where they put the firearm.
Right? The parents should have been paying attention to what the hell was in her kids's book bag. Yes, but her rap sheet don't have nothing to do with it.
Tina, the reasons why she went to jail has nothing to do with it. I don't know what a rap sheet says, but I've been to jail my damn self.
You know why? To feed my [ __ ] kids when I was a single mother of three.
Okay, let's keep it a being here. Often times our rap sheets don't have anything to do with it. It doesn't.
Now, I don't mean to sound like I'm being abrasive with you, but we got to you you know what I'm saying? We got to think about stuff. Hey, Ray Ray from PA.
Hey, boo. Thank you for joining us.
But the fact of the matter is we don't I don't know, maybe you do. I don't know if the gun was registered, if the mother had it legally or illegally, if someone in the house had it legally or illegally. The fact that the kid was able to get a hold of it is all. That's it. What the mother went to jail for, how long her rap sheet is, it ain't the point. It's not. People turn over a new leaf every day. And it's comments like that for the reason why a lot of people say, "I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't." And that's not cool.
What the mother should have done is properly gotten her kids ready for school and checked his book bag to make sure that he had in it what he needed and therefore inadvertently she would have figured out what was in there.
Fact of the matter is she could have had the gun in the dog on car and he picked it up and put it in the book bag when she wasn't looking. Do we know that?
I don't think it was ever said. I don't know. We haven't gotten that far yet.
Tina says the little boy was supposed to be supervised at the school. The parents were supposed to be at the school with the little boy, but no one came that day.
I don't know if if you've left the chat, Tina, but what do you mean by that? The parents were supposed to be at the school with the little boy.
I don't I don't understand what you mean by that.
So, if you're still here, can you elaborate, please?
I understand what supervision means, but why were the parents supposed to be there at the school with the little boy?
Is this like on a daily basis? I don't understand.
I heard them speaking about him being a disciplinary problem, you know what I mean? Um, so I understand that part, but well, perhaps you've left. Okay.
Okay. In his IEP, he was supposed to be super I Okay, Tina. I said, 'I understand the supervised part.
What I'm asking is, what do you mean by the parents were supposed to be there at the school with the little boy, but no one came that day? I'm asking you to elaborate on that, love. I don't I don't understand that part. What I mean is, are the stu are is a parent supposed to sit in with him every day or were they supposed to come when this happened? I don't you know what I mean? Can you tell us a little bit more?
Because They were supposed to be there every day.
Okay.
So then, okay, Tina, thank you for that love. So then, now I'm looking at the principal. Now I'm looking at whoever did his did the attendance and saw that whomever was supposed to be there to supervise him was not there. That child with those kinds of restrictions should have been sent to the office immediately or taken to the office immediately until said restrictions were being adhed to.
See the responsibility is a mighty mighty thing and if everybody don't do their part this kind of stuff happens.
So it, as far as I'm concerned, I don't know why he even walked through that door by himself in the first place.
If someone was supposed to be there every day, as in a parent or a supervised by whom? Tina, did they specify that?
Who was supposed to supervise him every day? I think that's a good question.
I wish you just come up here on the panel, but it would make it a whole lot easier than um than in the chat, but it's okay.
Who was Do you know Tina who was supposed to supervise him every day?
Staff parent. Okay. the guardians, grandfather, grandmother, and mother were supposed to supervise him every day. Okay. So, with that being said, when he walked through that door alone, he should have been redirected right to the uh to the office. He should have been taken to the office immediately.
this would have never happened because he would have already been, you know what I mean, away from the classroom. It's not to say that whatever he had planned, it wouldn't have happened in the office, but at least he wouldn't have been in, you understand what I'm saying? Somebody would have contacted his family, somebody, you know, come and get him. He got to go.
Nobody's there's no one here to to um to supervise him. He can't stay in school today.
And hopefully, clap your hands. Job is done. You know, chaos chaos diverted.
So, see, a whole lot of people dropped the ball that day.
Um, Miss White says, "Shan B, I just started not engaging in the channels anymore. I'm subscribed to only a few channels for justice for Roa and I stay out the comments. That's it. And that's all too messy for me. Okay, boo. You okay, Miss White?
I don't know. This this YouTube thing, it's got it's got emotions fried. Miss White, is everything okay?
Or are you are you a little behind us? I think Miss White is a little behind us.
She's um I think she's commenting on what I said earlier about some people wanting to get off of YouTube. Okay. She had me worried for her for a minute there.
So, back to this.
who whichever one of the family members day it was to supervise him whoseever responsibility was delicate that it was dedicated to if you want me to I could come up on the panel.
Um Tina, are you going to jump ahead of us or are you going to go along? You're just going to follow along and then you know what I mean cuz you be blowing it for us. Boo. You like you got a big ass whistle in your mouth. You just be blowing it like ah. The score is going to be ah I'm going to play fair. Oh no. No. Just you going to jump. You going to come right up here and you going to say something that we don't know yet and you going to blow the whole dog on thing. I know you are. I know you are. But I'mma give you a chance though, boo. I'mma give you a chance.
I am.
All right. There's the link. Let's see how Tina come up and play.
Um, but yeah, I feel like whoseever day it was, if that's the way things were truly supposed to be, then they dropped the ball. Number one, then there's the the assistant principal when she was given word that this student had a weapon in his in his um possession.
She was supposed to jump up from behind that desk and turn into Wonder Woman for all of those children in the staff because that staff is underneath her.
And she's underneath the principal.
That's what she was supposed to do. And if that ain't what she did, if she didn't go and tell the principal because the prosecutor said she didn't know, she should have. Okay, Tina. Letting you up. Bo, unmute your mic. Love, unmute.
Turn your mic on on cuz you got it muted right now.
Tana, unmute your mic.
that. Hello.
>> There you go.
>> All right.
>> Okay. I'm playing fair.
>> Uhhuh. We'll see.
>> Don't play with me.
>> Okay. So, Okay. So you said, okay, I'mma let you in your own words, explain again the importance of in your opinion why you blew the whistle. Hey Terry. Hey M.
>> The the reason why I blew the whistle is because I mean, you know, the babies do need to heal from all this. And yeah, you know, and um I live in a state that that >> from all this >> that I >> You got it.
>> Okay. I live in the same state as this.
Okay.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And the babies just need to take the time out and to heal.
>> Uhhuh.
Okay.
>> And it's messed up how the judge done this. It's it it's like the teacher got paid and the principal just walked away.
>> Okay, that is your opinion of what happened.
What I'm asking is why did you blow the whistle on us? Like why did you >> tell us the outcome before we had a chance to watch it is what I'm saying.
>> Okay. Well, I I got overly excited.
>> There you go.
I got overly excited.
And when Taye said, you know, the school and I was like, "Oh, well, you know, I could tell you right now the principal got away and the teacher got paid, so there you go."
>> Right. Right. So I want to now you WERE LIKE SHE GOT OFF.
>> GOTCHA.
>> YEAH.
>> GOTCHA. YEAH.
>> I understand. I understand your impulsiveness. You were excited. You were disappointed. I get it. I really do. I understand.
>> And you know the principal is AfricanAmerican and the teacher is white.
>> And the judge is African-American as well.
>> Yes ma'am.
>> Okay. And it's and it's not a racial thing. I think it's messed up.
Yes, I do. Um, she wouldn't be teaching my uh Well, let me just say this. The principal wouldn't be teaching nothing of mine or supervising nothing of mine. Okay? It's like if I Okay, so like um say like this. Okay, so you know I'm a home caregiver, right?
>> Right.
>> So if my client shoots me in the foot, I'm going to be looking at my company and I'm going to be looking at his sister, okay? Cuz he's, you know, not right in the head, okay?
>> So I'm going to be looking at both of them.
Okay.
>> Right.
>> So, um, Abby Zorner or I can't remember her last name, but Abby, she was looking at the principal for help. Then she went to the school board. Then she sued the school board.
>> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> So, that's where that 10 >> and she won. Right.
>> Yes, she did >> thus far.
>> Right.
because they're saying that because the assistant principal, Dr. Ebony Parker, has been um acquitted of the charges. This could change the decision of the civil suit.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Right. And so I do I got a problem with it. I've already said that the responsibility lied with that assistant principal. And if she didn't want to be responsible, she should have gotten in contact with the principal and put it in her hands.
You know what I mean? Since she obviously had so much other [ __ ] to do, she should have called her boss, which is the principal, and told her what was going on and let the principal take over. That's what she should have done.
And she didn't. And because she did it, everything after that was derelictked of her duties and she left it in the hands of somebody who had they found the weapon could not ultimately within the rights anyway and responsibilities do anything about it.
>> You know what I mean? So it's like it's like >> it's like this. Let's say me and you are at the house together and somebody calls us and says, "Yo, Doobie around the corner fighting and you jump up and go."
And I'm like, "Okay, yeah, you go ahead.
You do you take care of that, Tina.
>> That's not your responsibility."
>> No, >> there's nothing you you could have stopped the fight, but why didn't I get up? You know what I mean? That's one. It's my child. One, she's the assistant principal. Two, I heard about it just like you did.
>> Two, she heard about it. It was brought to her first by a few different people.
But she never jumped into action. And therefore, in my opinion, she should not have been acquitted of those charges. I wouldn't give a damn what color she is. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
>> Exactly.
Exactly. I'm sorry for jumping ahead, but if you know the case backwards and forwards, you know, you I get excited.
I'm sorry, y'all. I'm sorry.
>> It's It's It's okay. It's okay. We accept your apology.
>> But But the mother did go to jail behind this.
>> Yes, I I knew that. I just hadn't said it yet. OH, >> SORRY.
I blew the whistle on that one.
Sorry.
>> Um, if she hasn't been released yet, she should be on her way out now, right?
>> She's already out.
>> Oh, see, see, see, I think she was sentenced to two years and then you you know, you do like what 18 months.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Right. So, um, can you tell us what charges the mother served for?
>> Let's see. She got DUI.
>> According to this, babe, according to this case.
>> Oh, I I I was going to go to the rap sheet. I'm sorry.
>> Oh, lady, listen. Miss White, step toe.
TINA WAS ABOUT TO UNDRESS THAT [ __ ] TINA WAS ABOUT TO TELL US WHAT THAT HOE had for breakfast. Okay.
Okay. Go ahead, Tina.
>> Y'all know what? Y'all can Y'all can go ahead now. No. No. Miss Sh. Uhuh. Go ahead. Uhuh. Go ahead.
>> Uhuh.
>> I love you, boo. I love you. I love you, too.
>> You You go ahead.
>> Uhuh. Listen. Tell us.
>> No, you listen. You tell us.
>> Uh-uh.
>> You got it.
>> Uhuh. Boo boo, YOU GOT IT.
>> TINA.
>> OKAY. SO, she did go to jail for um possession of the firearm.
>> Okay. because if if I remember correctly, it was uh registered under her name, I think it was. And correct me if I'm wrong.
>> Uhhuh.
>> But uh she did go to jail, but yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> So, it was it was for for possession, but I think it goes further than that for like not securing the weapon properly, right?
>> Yeah. Yep. Yep.
So, some kind of neglect charge.
>> Yes, there you go.
>> I wanted you to say it.
>> WHEREVER, GIRL. I AIN'T GOING. Stop that.
You know what? We had like two clowns on the phone and we act like two clowns now.
>> And y'all know what? This how me and Tina talk on the phone too >> every time.
So, Lady says yes, she pleaded guilty of child neglect and gun charges. All right. See, lady, you could have came up here with us.
>> Yeah. Come on up here with us, lady.
Come on.
>> She ain't gonna do it.
>> I gonna do it.
>> I know it.
>> Lady sitting there right now smiling like, "No, no, no. I >> Well, I already got the whistler up on the uh panel.
I was going to give you the whole breakfast.
You was gonna give us the whole sleeve of her jacket. Okay.
>> Oh god.
>> So Okay. So, what do you think about what the prosecutor said in his opening statement? What do you think about that?
Well, I think he's right about that.
Ebony should have gotten her up and uh went downtown. I mean, when I say downtown, I mean down the hallway, y'all, >> and seen what happened and see what was going on. You know what she said on the uh Now, let me tell you what she said on the news, y'all. So, what she said, I'm talking about Ebony Parker. Stay with me, y'all. Stay with me. So, what Ebony Parker said up there on the uh news thing, she said the reason why she didn't go down there is because the kids was testing.
What? Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. I I can feel Shawn B just firing up, y'all. I can see it.
What the hell do you mean that she couldn't go down there because of the kids testing? Well, that's what the lady said. Now, go ahead, Sean.
>> Listen, I couldn't have said that better myself.
>> The hell one thing got to do with another.
>> Like you always tell me, Tina, what the hell? I don't give a >> I heard every drop of the cuss word.
>> Period.
You know what? Because ultimately speaking, testing was interrupted anyway, wasn't it?
>> Yep.
>> I dare say school was interrupted all together.
>> Damn a test. I bet the parents was like, "Fuck you."
They test. I'm coming to get my child.
But see, you know, I work in Newport News. So, let me just set the mood. Okay. So, when I'm sitting with my client, and you could just hear the uh fire trucks and the paramedics and the and the cops just going down the street, flying down the street, and you want to know what's going on. So I hopped on Facebook and guess what? This is what I saw, >> you know, and you should seen the cops just, you know, everywhere at the school and the kids was coming out crying and upset and the parents was like, "I can't find my child, you know. Can you please help me find my childh?"
>> Mhm.
>> I mean, this was crazy, y'all.
They probably Oh, excuse me. Um, I believe that the police were reacting the way they they always all do.
>> It's like >> one and and in this case, I agree. One, it's at a school. Two, it's a school shooting.
>> You understand what I'm saying? And >> a lot of them may not have known that the per se shooter was in control. He was they were brought under control, right? Um, I understand that one of the teachers, the reading specialists is who came in and put that child in a bear hug and hel got down on the floor with that child and held that child in that bear hug, took control of that weapon and held him there until the police could get there.
All during this time he was using expletives and the teacher, the reading teacher kept telling him to keep him calm. She's talking to him like a a teacher does such things as you stop using that kind of language. You know, we don't talk that way. Just trying to keep them calm, >> right? All the while, the teacher is laying there bleeding out.
Now, God's grace, she she survived.
But, um, and so, yeah, the emergency reaction that you're hearing in the distance, >> I believe was indicative of them getting a call of a school shooting.
>> You understand what I'm saying? They didn't know. Yes, ma'am. and and and you know, God's grace, he only aimed at one person because they said that there were students standing next to her, the teacher, the victim, and some students standing next to him.
You know what I'm saying? Like, I can I can speculate here that maybe she was sitting at her desk, maybe she was standing somewhere in the room. And y'all know how it is. It's it's it's calamity after recess. You know what I mean? Students all around needing to settle down and get in their in their desks and let's proceed on with the rest of the the the uh school day.
And this is when that happened directly after recess.
And so yeah, it could have been a lot worse than what it was and thank God it wasn't. And so I think that's the response that you were hearing in the distance.
>> Yep.
>> Yeah.
Yeah.
>> Yep.
>> Okay. So, I'm going to You can stay up here with me though, but I'm going to um I'm going to play this right here.
>> Well, I'm going to drop down so that way I can see too cuz I want to see everybody's reactions.
>> Okay, babe.
>> Okay. Can you uh drop me down?
>> Yep. Hold on one second.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> I'm here to first um ask if you are giving permission for me to record this session um to discuss the incident that occurred at Richack on Friday.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. So, as part of our internal investigation, I have some questions for you. I do ask that you please answer um honestly answer questions honestly. Also ask that you please keep our investigative conversation confidential so that to maintain the integrity of the investigation because I do have several people I need to speak with. Okay.
Okay.
So Dr. department. Let's start with Friday.
Were did were you given any knowledge prior to the actual shooting that the student had a weapon?
>> I was told that the student that students reported that the student had a weapon in his backpack.
Do you know?
>> Okay.
So, um, Miss Kovac wrote out these names, right?
>> Yes, ma'am. Please.
>> Okay. So, Miss Kovac was the one who informed me of this. Um, and she said that she had already asked the student, you know, um, is there something in your backpack? And he said, no, but she had brought it to me. the class was about to go outside to recess. So I said, "Well, when they go outside to recess, we can check the his bed." Um, I was in the midst of the winter growth assessment, putting off tickets and um such. So I didn't go into the classroom with her.
When she came back, she says there's nothing, you know, I didn't see anything in his backpack. And I said, "Okay." Um, and she says, "But you know what about in his pocket?" And I said, "Well, I don't I said, "I don't know. Are are they going out to recess?" She says, "Yes." She was also my person that was doing was helping me with testing. So, um, I don't know if she went outside or not, but there was a comment that said, "Well, we watched him. We watched him closely." Um, we I assumed she meant herself and the teacher and I said, "Okay." And then I went home with testing.
So, was all of that conversation from Miss Convac all at the same time or did she come back to you with the comment about we watching him?
>> She called. She came back.
>> Okay.
So, oh, do you remember approximately what time it was when she reported to you? The students reported that um he had a weapon.
It they were going outside for recess at 12:20. So, it was right before that. So, I don't know how far between that, but I know from the time that she said it to the time that they went outside for recess, it wasn't very it wasn't very long.
I got a problem with that.
I got a problem with this assistant principal. I don't know. I don't know.
I'm not sure. I don't remember. Um I got a problem with that, right?
because I used to work in the capacity where if it wasn't documented, it didn't happen.
Some of you guys that's in the chat, I don't know in in what capacity you all have worked or still work, but I know some of y'all do.
If something, excuse me, if something comes to you guys that should be documented and you don't, it didn't happen.
Y'all understand what I'm saying? I'm not saying literally it didn't happen, but the fact of the matter is she should have documented that.
Exactly. Tina said, "I know that I have to document everything that my client goes through." Exactly.
Lady Mysterious, I know that in your job capacity, there's a You see what I'm saying?
And there's a reason for that. And this right here is one of them.
Even if she had just grabbed a pen and just jotted down s, you know, teacher so and so just came and told me that they believe that student so and so has a firearm in this book bag. It's this time, excuse me. even if she had done that.
But then that would mean that she would actually have been diligent in her duties and she wasn't.
She instead was derelic in her duties and that's very unfortunate. All of this I'm not sure it was a few minutes before that. No chicky, we need details.
We're talking about in this day and age, we're talking about a stu we're talking about a student being accused of having a firearm.
In this day and age, the chances are he does or she does.
You know what I mean? Now, 30 years ago, somebody would have said, "Nah, come on. Are you kidding me? It's probably a toy. Not these days. These days, we jump to assume that it's real.
And then we go through that process of elimination of saying it was just a toy.
She should have been more diligent.
Shame on her.
>> Okay.
Did you report this to Miss Foster?
>> I did not. I did not. She was in a meeting with a um military counselor that we were supposed to be getting and I was supposed to be going into that meeting um at one that was at the meeting was at 1 and I didn't make it into that meeting. But because I was in the midst of testing, I don't leave my office when we're in testing to maintain you know the testing tickets and the security of that and so I have not talked spoken with Miss Austin.
>> Okay.
So can you tell me did anyone else come to you before the shooting to tell you that it is too?
So, um, after we checked his backpack and and there was nothing there. Um, >> and you said we >> Well, I say we because I said I get I said check it. So, but but Miss Kovac went in to check it.
>> Okay.
>> Yes.
>> Okay.
>> But I said we because she came to me to ask We didn't do [ __ ] We This is the United States, chicky.
This ain't This ain't France. We did not do a damn thing. You're not included in that search, hun. Just because you said, "Sure, go ahead."
You're not included in that.
So you don't get to say we to try to negate your dereliction of duties. You don't get to say we love bug. Okay. Bookie but you don't get to say we cuz we didn't do [ __ ] like we should have.
The [ __ ] >> You know should we check his backpack?
do check his backpack.
Um, Mr. Ross, I said that situation was settled, came back into my office and he said, "Hey, did you hear what they said about?"
I said, "Yeah, I heard." I said, "But we checked his backpack." And again, I'm still using we, but it was Miss Kovak. I said, "His backpack was checked. We didn't see anything." And he says, "Oh, okay. Uh, did you check the person?" And I said, "Oh, no, we didn't." And I remember looking at the clock and it was 1:40 and this particular student is on a modified schedule. So I said, "His mom is due to come here soon." So when his mom comes, we need to inform her of the what was said, what we did, and then she can, you know, we'll let her go through the rest of his things and and check it.
He nodded his head and he left.
That wasn't the mama's job, chicky. That was not the mama's job. You gonna let the mama come in your house and do your job? No, you would not. Okay. The mama has no business coming to your job and doing your duties. the mama was coming to deal with, you know, to do whatever it is that she is obligated obligated for for her child as far as the schooling or instruction uh capacity is concerned not to come and play detective. That was your job, young lady.
Period.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THE MAMA WASN'T COMING THERE to check his person.
The mama was coming there to do whatever it is she's obligated to do per his modified schedule. Like she just said, you should have got up off your ass. Yet still here is another faculty coming to you, speaking to you about what they done heard now. Okay? and you still sitting on your ass or you're still not coming out of that office, neglect, >> but those are the only two.
Okay. So having understanding, what is your understanding of what should have taken place from the first notification that you received about the student from Miss Kovac?
>> GREAT QUESTION.
>> Possibly having a weapon.
what we did. Um, in previous times before, we've had two other students who also reported to have a weapon. Um, and we, you know, ask the student, you know, if do you have something that say, you know, no, we do have someone else come in with us it to look in their backpack.
Um, but we never search a student. So because we didn't, you know, we didn't this car didn't see anything in the backpack then I didn't we didn't we didn't do anything come in every day and we had we have a conversation every day. So >> and when you >> I was waiting for mom to come in. So in the past protocols of what you've done and correct me if I'm wrong, you've brought the student into your office >> and you along with who? Who else? So the first time it was Mr. Um and then the second time it was an incident of the parent had already called the police because her the um the report was given to her from her son. So she had already called the police. So the second time it was the police was at the school.
>> Okay. All right.
Had Mrs. Warner on that on that Friday come to you and express concern about the student um about the student's behavior or did she express that she thought the student had a weapon?
>> No. So, Miss Warner never said that she thought that the student had a weapon and she never said to me directly that it was reported to her that the student had a weapon. So, we were I was about to get the PN session of the testing started and she came into my office and she said is um being extremely defiant today and she says if he hits me I don't know what I'm going to do. So, I acknowledged what she said and I you know I I said okay.
And then she left. So I told Miss Ker because they were going to go grab the kids. I said if she feels that he's being, you know, uncontrollable, she can't control him, tell her to call his mother so she can come and pick him up early is what I said. But no, Miss Zorner never came to me and said anything about her feeling that the student had a weapon or that she felt Girl, I don't you come with no waterfalls. I don't want to hear that [ __ ] Nope. Nope. No. No. First of all, what is this called? The parent called a parent. What about removing the distraction from the classroom?
Putting them in a secure location such as what's that thing called? It's got um it's got a bunch of desks and there are file cabinets and there are bulletins all over the wall and there is policy and procedures up on the wall and rules of the school and it's a couple of SECRETARIES AND RIGHT THE office the office.
What happened to calling bringing the student down to the office?
What happened to that part?
Hey Taye, I was talking about you about an hour and 28 minutes and 56 seconds ago.
I did. I said we're going to wait for Taye because Taye wanted us to cover this, but I saw you in the YouTube street scared. You ain't special K. I was sitting back watching old girl. She cool chick.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I told you we would and so we have been. And we waited for you for a few minutes.
Okay. I think I started at 8:45.
I said seven, but because I knew you were over at somebody else's house, I waited for you to finish partying and stuff and come on over. So, even though I started late, I did. We waited for you.
Um, Tay said, "Yeah, I stopped by the first time since this morning, but I was coming home from work. I spoke to everybody and I ain't even get to listen to that love. I'm upset now. It's okay.
You can catch the replay replayable. And we're not done. We're not finished.
We're just halfway through. We just We only heard the opening statement and now we're listening to a Q&A with her and I guess an investigator of this of the uh situation. Okay. Don't be mad, baby. Don't be mad. Um but yeah, call the mother. Call the mother. What you get? I need somebody to tell me what do this chick get paid to do because thus far she ain't did [ __ ] Like seriously.
All All she get paid to do is monitor testing.
Like seriously, that [ __ ] is crazy. Call a mama. Call a mama. Take my kid to the office and then call me. take my kid away so that they're no longer a distraction because the other students in the classroom deserve undivided attention of their instructors, their teachers, their trainers, whatever it is, right? Take my kid to the office and I'm on my way.
But don't just leave them there to further be a distraction because then crap like this happens and it becomes a dangerous environment. Like come on, man.
I'm safe. She She did it. She didn't say it to me.
>> Okay. All right. Take the time. Had Missur prior to Friday ever expressed to you that she had concerns or felt unsafe with this particular student?
No. So has been on a mind schedule since the beginning of the year.
He his acting out was he's extremely defiant. Um, and he does the exact opposite of what he's asked to do and it was making it difficult for her to do instruction in the classroom. So, we sat down and we we made a a modified schedule. We had things in place. So, somebody was getting the best. He was going to Miss Mcernette's room.
>> Okay. Tay says, "So now I will say in New York they don't play that, right?"
Tay says, "If your kid is doing too much, they might reach out to the parent, but if they're still continuing, they will leave them in the office and call you still." Absolutely.
Absolutely. I don't know why it's repeating itself, but absolutely.
You know what I mean? that when by the time I get a call, my kid already in the office. Tina says this could have been a hell of a lot worse as she thought about it.
And I think that's what these tears is for. These tears are guilt tears. These tears are I know I [ __ ] up. Because a lot of times we don't get the weight of our [ __ ] until we hear it.
You know how some people or your your parent would say when you say I'm sorry, they say you're sorry for what? Tell me what you're sorry for. And then once you get to saying it, you're actually hearing it.
You know what I mean? It's like the opposite of when you're trying to talk to a person and they keep cutting you off. They're cutting you off because they don't want to hear you say it because then they can't deny it, right?
They have to address it at that point, right? Well, she's having to address it in her mind.
I really [ __ ] up.
Taye says, "Oh, man. I want to say stuff, but I don't want to say too much if y'all didn't get to that point. Uh because isn't she the Yes, this is the assistant principal. Mhm.
It is.
Yes, this is the assistant principal.
Say, if you want, you can come up. Girl, Tina done blew the wig off of a whole lot of stuff. So, if you want to come up and talk, you can.
It's a lot easier than um talking into the mic because then stuff come up crazy.
But I'll continue to do a social story.
He was then transitioned to Miss Kovac for a 15 20 minute small group session before he spent time in his classroom.
And Wednesday he had asked to come to the office and he said no. Uh Miss said no. He couldn't come to the office and he took her phone and like threw it down. So it cracked her screen. Miss uh Foster and myself I said meeting but Miss Foster had you know a facilitated meeting that afternoon with Miss We told, you know, hey, you don't know the damage that it is to the teacher's phone. We'll let you know. She she understood that she was prepared to pay for it and everything.
So, um, >> in hindsight that evening, >> the mama's name, I'm sure, >> I spoke with Miss Foster and she said, you know, um, I'm I really think I'm going to call mom back because he should have gotten a consequence for what he did. And I said, well, yeah, but you know, it's I was following her. So, I said, okay. and she called she called back was not in school Thursday and then when he came back Friday those were the events of Friday.
Okay. All right. So, just to be clear, at any point in time prior to Friday, did Miss Warner have a report to you that she had concerns about the student or or about her safety with that student? No, the concerns were around the student and his behavior.
Never has she said, "I feel unsafe."
So when she made the statement to you, if he hits me, I don't know what I'm going to do. Can you tell me where that came from? So that Wednesday, where I feel it came from was that Wednesday when he took her phone and threw it down, he went to a buddy classroom, which was Miss West.
And what Miss West reported to Miss uh Newton was that he was like pinching at her, but I I did not get the I didn't I didn't get the full report of of that of of that incident. So when she said that, me knowing that that was what was reported Wednesday, that's what where I think that came from.
>> Okay.
Okay.
Was there ever >> Absolutely. Taye Tay says I mean I get where she coming from. I no Taye said I mean I get what she's saying between the two but if it's concerning it's still your responsibility to handle it and I get that these teachers are overwhelmed because she's just the assistant principal.
Um the assistant principal in my opinion is what it says. the assistant to the principal if the principal is otherwise detained, right? Um taking care of such things as meetings and phone calls and administrative things, right? the assistant principal is to take care of the situations of the school and she failed right in acting principal. Exactly.
Because the opening statement made us aware, Taye, that the assistant principal and the principal were actually the only ones with the responsibility and the ability to act on whatever it is that's going on.
You know what I'm saying? So in other words, the assistant principal and the principal if they find something that's wrong, they have the ability to handle it. Whereas the teachers only have the ability after knowing that something is wrong, bringing it to the principles.
Yet this chicky sat there after hearing about what was going on, allotted that responsibility to go check his book bag to a teacher and she should not have done that. She should have indeed gotten up off her ass and went and did her job.
Tina says she failed the kids, she failed the teachers, and she failed everybody. Absolutely.
T says exactly she did.
And that's why I don't think she should have been acquitted. Color has nothing to do with this because what if the situation were reversed?
What if this were a white woman on this screen and a black teacher was shot?
Then all of a sudden she should have not been acquitted. Why?
Color has nothing to do with this. This is about the responsibilities that have been afforded and entrusted to this administrator.
That's it. That's all. How are you to stand in your obligation as a mandated reporter if you don't get up off your butt and go see what's going on so that you can indeed report.
Tay said, "But you know it's so crazy because wait a minute, why are your comments repeating themselves?"
Taye says, "But you know, it's so crazy because a lot of principles and assistant principles do put the overwhelm on teachers, which is crazy to me cuz they don't get paid for that." Exactly.
and it's not fair. And hopefully this will wake it up. Y'all know I say to my husband because he works in a in a similar capacity that it always takes I mean we see it we see it all over the place, right? It always takes chaos to happen.
It always takes something unfortunate to happen before common sense is implemented.
Like I'll just use something that has nothing to do with this. Let's see. Have y'all ever noticed on the news how these 18 wheelers are getting caught under these underpasses?
Right?
AND YOU SAY, "WELL, WHY DID they go that way?" Like, damn it. If you couldn't tell that your truck not going to fit up under that bridge, y'all know why?
Because certain routes are put in place for these 18 wheelers to travel.
But it isn't until a enough enough of those 18 wheelers get peeled back like with a can opener like it's a tuna can before somebody says, "Yeah, we need to um pick them another route to go."
You see WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE WHY COMMON SENSE COULDN'T COME IN BEFORE? WHEN THE LAST time has that uh overpass been been measured because things shift all the time. So therefore the measurements and the clearance changes for those 18 wheelers.
So when the last time was one measured that kind of stuff I'm referring to.
Something always got to happen for a mutter mutter to say, "Uhoh, we should have."
Yeah, it's crazy.
Um, let me see. Tina says, "I still feel the same way if it was reversed." I appreciate that, Tina. Lady says, "Sure, do Tay." Taye said, "Come on." Um, that was my first job. Boys and Girls Club, the nursery schools during my summer youth days. Absolutely.
Tay said, "I knew it was for me." Okay.
Um, why? Because they blame anybody that's underneath them. Yeah. Ta says, "My sister goes through stuff like this, kids acting out, biting her." She explains to her boss like, "Why do I even have to deal with this?" She's an assistant teacher. Girl, listen. Listen here. Listen here.
Not I, says the assistant teacher. Not I. You're not biting me, scratching me, kicking me, pulling my hair, spitting in my face. You not doing none of that to me. If I see you exhibiting that behavior before I even come close to you, guess what? I'm not coming close to you. It's just not happening.
We gonna have a problem and I'm getting fired that day, right? Cuz I'mma teach you what happened. You bite me, I'mma bite your ass back and then you know my husband can come bail me the [ __ ] out.
But dead ass. But that's why I don't work in that kind of capacity cuz I don't have the wherewithal to say, "Oh, it's all right. They're just a little special."
Nah, Taye said, "But the crazy part is because they know that she has a structure and most of the kids listen to her, so they put all of that on her."
You mean your sister? Well, God bless her, babe. Lady said, "Listen, Linda, listen."
Okay, for the break room one time, one time down. Okay.
Tina said, "Me too, Shie. I will get fired that day. That day, man. Listen, y'all ain't got to take no impressions of my teeth. Okay, I am going to admit that this is exactly what I did. Hold on one second, guys.
Okay, Tay says um Taye says she don't get paid enough for it. No, she don't. And even if she did get paid for it, she ain't come there to get abused.
Uh-uh. She don't come there to get abused. She comes there to assist the teacher.
Right. Damn that. But let's continue.
a comment made to the teacher that he was overreacting to the student or his behavior?
>> No.
Okay.
When prior to Friday, had anyone, Miss Warner, or anyone reported to you their concerns about the student or about their safety or possible safety of others in the building because of that student.
Okay.
So, staff stating that administration may What is your response?
>> Could we pause? Yes, you can pause. Yes, sir.
>> Just a moment to talk >> administration made.
What is your response to that?
>> I don't know.
I I don't know because what we what I did and what we did in the moment with how to support with him is what I thought the teachers miss was asking for like you know just I can't get instruction done he doesn't sit down in his this.
>> Hold on, guys, because I need to run that back for a second. I need to be patient with me. I need to run this back for a second cuz I want to make sure that I understand what just happened. Hold on.
Okay.
So staff stating that administration may what is your response?
>> Could we pause the video?
>> Yes, you can pause.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Can I have just a moment to talk >> administration?
What is your response to that?
I don't know.
I don't know because what we what I did and what we did in the moment with how to support with him is what I thought the teachers Miss Warner was asking for like you know just I can't get instruction done. He doesn't sit down in his space. He won't follow directions. Those were the things that Miss Winner were reporting to me.
Okay, I want to go back real quick cuz I want to make sure I'm clearing something.
Miss Kovac, check the bag.
What's Miss Kovac's title?
>> She's our reading specialist.
So, help me understand why Miss Kovac would have Why did you direct Miss Kovac to check the bag?
That's what I thought I heard.
And you damn right, lady. No, no, no, no, not we. No, ma'am. Not we.
No, cuz we didn't do nothing.
Tay said, "I don't feel that was her intentions to ignore the situation, but as an assistant principal, she was supposed to act as a present principal if the principal was not there." And that's where Okay. She went wrong. Exactly. That's where she went wrong.
She was derelict in her duties. She was neglectful of her duties. She clearly said that the principal was in a meeting with some military situation.
and she said that she was supposed to be in that meeting come 1:00, but I'm assuming due to this happening, she never made it.
But had she gotten up and left that office and went AND DID HER JOB, not the teacher's job, maybe she could have made that meeting and the teacher could have finished out her day as a teacher instead of a patient at a hospital having been shot.
Tay said, "Yeah, but I don't want to spoil anything." But didn't she say something about testing? Yeah, she said that she was doing tickets for some testing.
She could Girl, LISTEN. WE TALKING ABOUT A gun in a school. Taye, that supersedes anything we're talking about in this climate of our society. Like I said before you came in, love 40 years ago, 30 years ago, right?
Precoline.
All right.
Perhaps we could have chuckled at IT AND SAID, "GIRL, that gun probably fake.
It's a toy. He's a boy." But not today.
in in 2020 anything 1990 anything in today's society no ma'am we do not get to take advantage or act as if no big deal we don't get to turn a blind eye to go the extra step we have to get up from behind our desks go into that classroom, separate that kid from that book bag.
And even though they checked the book bag and nothing was there, too many people said that he had it. That's number one. And then when they went out to the playground for recess, he was OUT THERE SHOWING it and kids were crying, kids were running.
So, no. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. No. She was supposed to She They could have gotten that thing way before. Listen, recess would have been cancelled [ __ ] with me. That classroom would have had to wait. We didn't have to interrupt the whole dang school.
But that classroom, they wouldn't have been able to move.
They wouldn't have been able to move.
Y'all understand what I'm saying? One by one, the students would have been brought out of that classroom just for their safety. One by freaking one.
Abso freakingutely.
I would have made it something not not so much an emergency evacuation tape because that that alarms the person with the with the firearm, right? I would have made it like girls, let's all take a restroom break and gotten all the girls out the goddamn room.
Y'all see what I'm saying? That's what I would have done.
That's what I would have done.
Absolutely.
I definitely would have. And then one by one, I would have said, "Okay, fellas, one by one, we're going to go to the restroom."
And he would not, his name would not have been called. Or if anything, I would have called him first, got him out of that room into the bathroom where there was no one else.
Y'all understand what I'm saying? But that classroom would have been delayed as far as recreation or recess was concerned.
Dead ass.
Like seriously, man. They got to stop waiting until chaos happens in order to use their freaking common sense.
Taye said, "Yeah, she should have sent the bolo out to the police just in case.
They would have had to they would have had the right to search the kid's back backpack and she could have gave authorization if she couldn't leave the room. She could leave that room. Tay, she could at least listen. I'm not going to say I know the law in Newport News. I'm not going to say I understand what their policies and procedures are, but I know in the schools up here, if there is a weapon involved, that safety of children and and faculty supersedes anything. If you can get away, get away.
That's it. That's all.
That's my word.
They teach us, they teach our ch children to drop and cover where a gun is concerned. Drop and cover and crawl.
That's it. That's all. Get out of that room however you can. If you need to stay in place, get there and stay quiet.
That's it.
All she couldn't leave that room because of some testing. If that is if that is a policy, I bet you they done changed that mother mutter by now. Bet you they changed it now because look who's ultimately on trial.
If I just don't believe that that was a law that she couldn't leave that room because of testing because that right there negates her of any responsibility.
Yet she was on trial.
Now, I can't wait to hear what the judge say as to why she acquitted her. Because if it ain't because of this, that she couldn't leave because of the testing, then we already know that that wasn't it. Miss White says that gun should have never gotten into school. Absolutely, Miss White. Absolutely. It shouldn't have. And that's why the mama went to jail.
That's why the mama went to jail. Tate says, "Yes, we have incidents, but once it happens, the law gets even more stricter." Absolutely.
Tate says, "And that's true. A lot of schools in New York, I don't know the structures in other states, but in New York, they have fire drills and things like that. They even have emergency hide underneath." Absolutely.
The table just in case something happens. Yes. Tay said that's when 911 happened. The schools in New York evacuated.
They were reaching out to parents and people that could pick them up. People that lived in the neighborhood, they would allow them to be picked up. Yes.
Mhm.
They said they didn't they didn't play that. No.
Um they have fire drills constantly in New York for these reasons. Absolutely.
Every time I turn around, it's something in my email about uh emergency uh procedures and fire drills.
Tay said, "Yeah, because they need to do they need that was in the right way. I don't understand that one." Tay says, "You know what? So crazy." Because I lived in Richmond. I didn't go to school out there. I didn't have kids at the time. So, it's possible in certain states, but I hope they recognize it now. Absolutely. Abso freakingutely.
Absolutely.
So, in the midst of testing, I don't remove myself from the office. And what when the conversation we had was should we check his bag? And the reason why we waited to till they went out to recess because I couldn't leave to go and check the bag. So >> see Tay, she even said it. I don't remove myself. She didn't say I couldn't leave. She says I don't remove myself.
There's a big difference there.
You know what I'm saying?
>> It was my director that said, "Miss Kobach, when they go out to recess, check his bag.
>> Okay.
Did you talk to your resource officer that day?"
>> She was not there.
Okay.
>> The resource officer, the actual I didn't call, you know. I didn't call.
And our security officer, Miss Lee, she leaves every day at 2:00.
>> She's actually So, Miss Le, >> I mean, I'm sorry, not 2:00, 12:00. And she comes back after Macintosh's dismissal for our dismissal. So, she's in the morning from 9 to 12. I'm sorry.
Okay. Okay. All right.
I I'm I'm I'm flabbergasted. I have one more video that I'm going to show. Hold on one second. Let me get these comments.
Um lady said, "Well, dang. So, are you there for you or the kids?" I know that's right. Ta said, "Tina, and I don't blame them." Oh, about the clear book bags. Absolutely. Absolutely. We We bought I think we're on book bag number three for Doobie because they're they're they're made out of [ __ ] You know what I mean? Their books are so heavy, especially in high school. their books are so heavy, the Chromebooks you have and and all that kind of stuff that um and they throw the kids throw them around that they they rip up, right?
They rip at the scenes. So, yeah. But um Tay says, "Tina, and I don't blame them, but you know, it's so funny because in New York when it's junior high school and high school, they have in certain school scanners that will check the kids." Absolutely.
They sure do. Certain high schools right up here, depending on what neighborhood it is, it's in and what school it is and and and the reputation of that school and per that reputation is how they handle the students.
Absolutely. Sometimes it's a certain time of the day. Some schools up here don't even allow you to leave school, right? because the people that man the scanners, the metal detectors aren't there after lunch. And so you're not allowed to leave the school, right, for lunch. And if you come back, you won't be let on campus.
You won't be let in that school unless there's somebody there to to check you, your body, your your person, everything. Lady says, "And some have to walk through a scanner." Yes, a scanner here. Yes. Steto says, "Was she there for then?" Absolutely. Steto Tate says it even went as far as in New York. I don't know about other states where they have the kids put their phones in their bags, which I'm okay with, but I don't agree with an emergency situation like this.
Absolutely.
Um, in the schools up here, like the school that Doobie goes to, they can carry their phones. They just can't be on them.
Yeah. Yeah. So, let's um let me find this other T says Shan B. Did you hear about the autistic kid that was in Queens, New York, Long Island City that left the school and eventually was found gone?
They even made it even stricter. I did not hear about Well, wait a minute.
a black kid, right? Taye, was it a black kid? I think I did hear about that. But see, that's my whole point.
You know what I'm saying? Um, prohibiting the children from leaving school does not only it's not only for one thing. Yes. Then I I did see that.
Yes. It's not only for one situation. It doesn't only keep them from being able to bring firearms in when they or weapons in when they come back. It's also to keep their life. There's no telling what's going on out there in them streets. They walk away from school. You got Mcnasties all over the place. And now you've got, you know, male and female networks working together to um commandeer these kids and then you find your baby, somebody find your baby somewhere lifeless. Man, a lot of parents get mad at the rules.
They get mad at the policies and stuff.
That stuff is crazy.
Those prohibitions are there for a reason.
It's to keep our babies safe.
Let me get this other part. Yeah.
It changed, what they did, where they went, and it changed one young woman's life forever.
Except it didn't change the actions of one person.
It didn't change where Dr. Parker went.
It didn't change what she did.
>> Hey, can you hear it now?
and those choices that she made to treat January 6, 2023 like any other day, even though a gun should change everything, is why we're here today.
We're here today. We're here today to ask you to do something that we can't do alone. And the thing that we cannot do alone is that we cannot achieve accountability by ourselves.
That's what jurors are for. That's what you all are here to do if you find that accountability should be had.
And you all may have different jobs when you walk outside of this courtroom. You may have different obligations in your personal life. But when you're in this courtroom and you walk back to that deliberation room, if you're one of the jurors that decides this case, your job is to deliberate together and return a unanimous verdict.
And in doing that, one of the first things you all will do, if the judge hasn't already told you, is you're going to pick a four person.
And that four person's responsibility is to make sure that everyone participates in the verdict.
That everybody's voice is heard in that room. That everybody chimes in and shares their ideas and talks about the evidence. And the reason for that is that the nine of you who are here and the seven of you who will decide this case are here as representatives of this community to voice their conscience of what's right.
Just like yesterday was election day and we all cast our ballots. You all are here individually but as part of this community to decide what should have happened on January 6, 2023.
And when you're in that room and you're deciding these issues, there may be times where you disagree.
And the hard part of this is you've been here for a week and a half and you get to know each other and sometimes we can hear you laughing as you come out, which is great and you've made friends.
But when you get back into that jury deliberation room and you're talking about the issues in this case and you're talking about how to decide something and share your thoughts, we're asking you when you get back there to fight for what you believe. you're doing that.
One of the instructions that I will point you to and the judge talked about it and I talked about it earlier.
We talked in Vadier if you remember we said this isn't a criminal case where you decide things beyond a reasonable doubt and a preponderance of the evidence and I decide something and look I hope you get back there and we've put on enough evidence I think that that may be true but as you're deciding those issues this is where you come to this question of what's more likely true than not true so with that I'm going to take a step back and I'm going to give you a road map for what we'll talk about.
This is called summation. It's my chance. Use notes and tell us what this case to tell you what you heard from that to try and talk ideas. Okay. How do we resolve this?
How what are tactics that we can think through and and process and how do we answer these questions? and some you may like so that I can help you get there about your job. I'm gonna move quick through Dr. Parker's job.
Then I'm going to talk about the blame game and then if you'll let me, I'm going to slow down and I'll talk about costs and consequences at the end. And the reason I slow down is lose grasp of what we're really here for. And that's to talk about the effect that this has had on this storm.
Sound good?
So your road map fault, blame and cost fault.
Her job is safety.
Dr. Parker's job is safety.
We talked in opening statement about promises. Do you remember that when Miss Tusano came up here and we talked about expressed and implied promises, the things we say and the things that are meant with what we say.
And and when we get out onto the road, I know a lot of us don't have keys with keys anymore, but there's still keys out there on 4ERunner.
>> Y'all, I'm going to fast forward.
>> Put that key in the bunch of gibberish because >> And as you go out onto the roadway, you're making a promise.
>> It takes an hour and 21 minutes and I'm not going to >> You don't have to say you guys that long.
>> But what you're saying is >> and that static is noting your seat belt and going out onto the highway. You're saying, "I promise to look out for you.
I promise to see the stop signs that are there to be seen. I promise to stop at those stop signs. I promise to turn my blinker on when I go to change lanes."
To make the promise so each of us can go home at night and see our families, say them out loud.
And then there are promises that come with what we say or how we say them.
There are promises when you answer the phone and agree to take action or to find something out.
And then the question becomes, what happens when you put the phone receiver down on the table and you don't meet that promise?
That is what the judge was talking about when he instructed you on what's called instruction 16.
And this is the law to govern you in this case says a person who undertakes gratuitously or for consideration. In other words, whether you're paid for it or not, to render services which she should recognize is necessary for the protection of the third person is subject to liability. Talking about fault to the third person in this case, we're talking about Miss Warner for the physical harm resulting from her, Dr. Parker failure to exercise care to protect her undertaking. So, what does that mean?
And we'll get through some of this evidence in a moment, but whether it was on a phone or through a doorway, around noon on January 6, 2023, there was a communication and that communication involved a gun and a backpack and she answered the call.
And the question that you have to decide now is by answering that call, by making the promise that I'm going to find something out explicitly or implicit. We talk about other promises later.
Did her failure to act exercise reasonable care in this case? Did her failure to act to do something increase the risk of harm to Miss Warner?
Let me ask you guys your opinion. Did her failure to act increase the harm for that teacher?
I want all you guys to tell me.
Everybody in the chat, give me a yes or a no.
Miss White said they made a law in Queens called Avante's law after that.
Aut Okay.
Can everybody give me a yes or a no as to whether or not her failure, Miss um Parker's Dr. Parker's failure to react resulted in the teachers in the teacher being wounded.
Stepto says, "Yes." Tay says, "Yes, I feel like you did, but maybe she was overwhelmed because of her position and what their rules are out there." Tina says, "Yes, Miss White, what do you think?"
Yes. No, Miss White lady, what do you think?
Okay, maybe they're busy. Well, I think her failure to act definitely resulted in um what happened to that teacher.
Now, I feel like $40 million is too much to be trying to sue somebody for. That's ridiculous. But I understand her point, though. You know, Tay says, "I just feel like people coming in into certain positions, you need to know your title and know what your what you represent for the school. And once certain protocols are being called on, teachers is letting you address it right then and there. That's true.
But I think what some people are missing is when a weapon is involved.
A whole lot of that normal everyday humrum.
come in, greet the kids, get instruction, have lunch, go to recess, kiss the kids, send them home to their parents goes out the window. Now you've got to get into protective mode. That's different.
That's different.
And unlike this teacher, this was not this Dr. Parker's first year in her uh working in that capacity. This was this teacher's first year as a first grade student. I mean a first grade teacher, her first year teaching.
You understand what I'm saying? And so while there are the the fact of the matter is it was neither one of those teachers responsibility to go check a backpack and do anything about it. That's the fact. That's the bottom line.
It wasn't a teacher's responsibility.
And Dr. Parker had no business assigning that responsibility or allowing another teacher. She was supposed to tell that teacher, "No, no, no, no. Here I come.
Stay here. Do this for me. If anything, if anything, do this for me. I'll go do that." You understand what I'm saying?
We have to be very careful not to make bringing weapons to school a norm.
However, we also have to become proactive about it.
Just like parents have a responsibility before we send our children out the door, faculty at the school have a responsibility once they reach their door.
I entrust Doobie with every adult in that building, not just not just the teacher in his classroom.
every adult in that building.
That's it. That's all.
I don't care how they feel about it.
Me as a parent, that's what I'm saying, right?
Because like with the Parkland shooting, there were teachers that heard it down the hall and what did they do? They put they their classroom on lock down immediately.
That's what I'm talking about.
It wasn't even happening in their classroom. Yet, they acted proactively and got into survival mode, protective mode.
They they closed them doors. They locked them, put stuff up against them. One of the teachers even ran into the bathroom to get the student, the female student that she had just allowed to go to the bathroom, but unbeknownst to her, she didn't go to the bathroom across the hallway. She went to the bathroom downstairs because there was some kind of construction going on.
So when that teacher remembered that, she turned around, she went back in her classroom and she protected the students that were right there in her classroom.
That is what I'm talking about as a parent. That is the expectation that I have of every adult in that school.
I expect for you to use your ears and your eyes and your feet and your hands for that matter. And that is what this assistant principal should have done.
She should have gotten up off her ass, left that classroom, and went and did what she was supposed to do.
I am going to Yes. Right. Address it right then and there. Absolutely.
Right then and there. Get the hell up and go do your job. [ __ ] I can't come do it. You damn sure can't come to my house and do my job. So, if I can't come to your house and do yours, then I need you to get up and do it and not, you know what I mean? Pass the buck, kick the can on up to the other to to somebody else. No, that can belong to you, love. I'm going to need you to pick it up and put it where it belong. I'm not here to do your job.
Hold on. I am going to get to Um, the judge Oh my goodness.
Hold on, guys. I'm looking for it >> against former assistant principal Ebony Parker.
>> The court uh is of the legal opinion that this is not a crime.
>> Parker sobbing as she realized she would no longer face eight felony counts of child endangerment in the January 2023 shooting. Prosecutors alleged she ignored Richneck Elementary School staff when they warned her four times that a six-year-old had come to school with a handgun. The first grader then shot his teacher, Abigail Wernerner, through her hand, the bullet lodging in her chest.
>> He was holding a gun, the student was pointed right at me and then I was shot.
>> Zerner shared her outlook with Savannah in an exclusive interview just months after her terrifying ordeal. Let's talk first about just to have a >> judge ruleing a person to act in a manner that shows a reckless disregard for human life.
>> The judge says legally the law requires more. According to the law, there has to be an omission, a failure to act. But that omission has to be wanting and willful.
>> It was set to be a landmark trial, the first time a school official was criminally charged after a school shooting. The prosecution had laid out its entire case, including showing the jury this inter was awarded $10 million for the criminal case, but guys, legal experts say this is probably just going to end here for Ebony Parker because there's very it's very unlikely that they'll be able to appeal given Virginia law.
>> Okay, thank you, Steph.
>> Appreciate that.
>> Hey, thanks for watching and don't forget you.
There it is, guys.
Per Virginia law.
This will likely not go any further.
I don't know what it means as far as the civil suit is concerned. The monetary um recovery that the teacher is going after.
Um maybe it'll stay in the news and we can revisit it.
Um, but I genuinely don't agree with that judge. Now, what I do find very telling is when this happened and you Valdi and you Valdi in Texas in that school, right?
Everybody who had charges brought up against them, those charges were dropped as well.
Yes, some people lost their jobs, right? Some of those cowardly men who stood by down the hallway and around the corner listening to those children being slaughtered, lost their jobs.
But who got convicted of a crime, right?
I'm not here to say so she deserve the same grace. Nope. Nope. No. Because when it's right, it's right. And when it's wrong, it's wrong.
I do not believe she should have been acquitted for those negligent charges because she was negligent. in my opinion just like those all those men. I don't know if you guys have seen the video of how those men stood down the hallway and around each corner. Some wanting to jump into action and were told to stand down.
While one officer whose child was in a a specific classroom went around outside and pried that window open and secretly got those children out of that classroom.
But when that was recognized, when it was noticed by the shooter, he went berserk in the other classroom.
He went back and revictimized the students he had already terrorized and all them people were acquitted.
I don't think they should have been.
I think per the video, each and every one of those men who stood there and did nothing and told the one or two guys to stand down, all of them except for those one or two guys. There was one who was off duty but heard the call. He came in in his khaki shorts and flipflops, but he grabbed a vest and he grabbed his weapon, his offduty weapon, and he came and he got in the fight and was told to stand down while they listened to children get slaughtered.
They should not have been acquitted yet nothing happened to them. Not legally, not criminally.
Well, in this case, I agree as well.
They should she should not have been acquitted of those neglectful charges of every student in that classroom and that teacher. She should not have been She shouldn't have. She was derelick in her [ __ ] duties. And if that judge did that because she was trying to exact some kind of racial um revenge, then shame the [ __ ] on her, too. I said it and that's what I mean.
There there comes a time when we got to put these racial issues. We got to put that plate down because right does not have a race.
What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong.
It takes a racist to say what's right is white and what's wrong is black. No.
Hell no.
Because every student in that classroom wasn't white.
Every student in that classroom was not black either.
I don't agree with this [ __ ] I don't. Her tears does not move me.
And I'm sorry that it took this kind of catastrophe.
And luckily this woman lived.
She'll undoubtedly never be the same.
She probably won't even work with special needs children anymore.
Any kind of delayed challenges or anything like that. She'll probably never work in that capacity again. and she could have been a ve the very kind of teacher that our children who are on the spectrum need, but she's been tainted. She's been injured and she'll probably never get past that and therefore will never work in that capacity again. She'll probably only go work at schools where these children operate on, you know what I mean, a normal kind of level. Pardon, you know, the phrase is for the lack of a better one.
That's very unfortunate.
But this assistant principal should not be allowed to be an assistant principal ever again. She shouldn't be allowed to be in charge of anybody's children but her own.
I would not want to see her under pressure at all. There are some people who do the damn thing under pressure. They turn into Wonder Woman and Batman. Y'all understand what I'm saying? She doesn't she doesn't strike me as a type and I don't know if it's if it's because she was afraid just couldn't be bothered.
It's very unfortunate that this happened to that teacher.
It's unfortunate that it happened to the students.
It's unfortunate that it happened to the teacher's co-workers.
I'd like to know what the principal felt.
I I wish I could have been a spider in the corner that heard what that principal said to that assistant principal.
I hope it was something like, "Why in the [ __ ] didn't you call me?
Why didn't you ring my bell?" something.
This is very unfortunate, y'all.
And the other unfortunate thing is the fact that at the end of each one of these lives, no matter who the content creator is, if they're covering them and covering them correctly, it is very unfortunate that the at the end of it, what is always relevant is when we say stop minding your own business.
Get proactive.
go the extra mile.
And you can simply start by doing your [ __ ] job and doing it right as a parent or in the capacity in which you work.
If everybody do their job and do it right with the way that laws have changed and policies have been implemented, I dare say that in a school, I wouldn't GIVE A DAMN WHAT you were in the midst of. If a firearm or a weapon comes into play, it negates whatever it was you were doing because lives are at risk.
I guarantee you would know it was no more testing going on. Tay, I guarantee you with the chaos that where's my child?
Where's my baby? I want my baby. I can't find my baby. Was nobody testing after they heard them shots.
And it all could have been avoided had she just gotten up and did her damn job. That's all she had to do.
Y'all, if y'all can safely go the extra mile, the world needs you to. We all need you to.
Anybody working in the capacity of where there are some mental issues, please watch your back, your front, your left, and your right.
Your life may depend on it.

Y'all be safe. I love you.
