A kid assaults teacher because she took his Nintendo switch?

[ManOnFire]

Just saw a video about this and it is totally appalling. This boy races up to his teacher and beats her down because she apparently took his Nintendo switch. I guess he'll try to blame it on his ADHD? Seriously disturbing to see. Thoughts?

[Emiliamazing]

I didn't watch the video do you have posted, but the headline is enough for me. There's no reason for that child to have a Nintendo switch at school, and there is no reason for anyone to react that way. I will tell you what would happen in our household should any of our children behave in that manner. I preface this with the fact that I enjoy some video game playing, and we have three children who also enjoy playing. The odd man out is my husband. It is likely that he would straight jacket whatever child did that, and they would be forced to watch him take a baseball bat to every electronic that they owned. And I probably would not try to stop him.

[Emiliamazing]

I just watched the video. That is absolutely disgusting.

[ManOnFire]

Yeah, my heart went out to that lady. He knocked her unconscious! A kid! It made me so angry seeing that, I wanted to knock him out myself.

[Emiliamazing]

@ManOnFire I am in complete agreement on that. God bless her and her family. She shouldn't have to worry about this situation.

[Red-Blaze]

That seem abslotly crazy
And the amount of time before he got stopped, and just walk away after
That seem completely not norwmal
At least the police get there in goid time even if most act really slow
Had to watch it twise, it just seem unbelivable like that
Just WTF

Being a teacher there days is an unsafe working environment, schools need to do more to protect them. I bet this thug has been given multiple chances. Maybe he cam complete his education in jail.

You notice how slow and low key other teachers were to help as though they were worried that if they interceded they would be tried for a hate crime, fired, the focal point of a black lives matter protest or the victim of a drive by.

[Emiliamazing]

I applaud your bravery, with your chosen profession. Truly appreciative of the teachers in our children's lives. I hope this type of situation evades you for your career.

[Leopard23]

@Emiliamazing oh I'm not a teacher. I wouldn't last too long because if that kid had raised a fist to me I'd be kicking him around the room

[Smc08]

He shouldve went to jail. I don’t think the teachers were slow to intervene because of skin color. That dude was big and most of them where women. I’m a black woman and I wouldn’t try to break up a fight with any man of any skin color. Because I know my odd. Point. Blank. Period. And he was going all out. No need to be racist tho. Any color man can do this to any woman and they didn’t want none.

[Leopard23]

@Smc08 even the male teachers were slow.

[Smc08]

I don’t think they liked there odds on that either. That and he’s a minor. I don’t even see where Black Lives Matter even begins the apply here at all. It’s veil across the board not just to the race affected.

Sounds like an excuse for just not wanting that heat either. What man says I didn’t fight him because he’s black? That guy probably never fought a day in his life or knows he’s weak af. Obviously only fought other white kids only. Lol pathetic.

[Leopard23]

@Smc08 racist teacher beats black student

[Smc08]

I took out racist and black and was left with “teacher beats students”. It’s still illegal and wrong.

[Smc08]

Your only afraid of the “r” word if you truly are racist. And you probably should be. Because most people today don’t see color. That kid is also a minor and they could be simply afraid because if he was white same consequences for beating a white kid.

[Leopard23]

@Smc08 they afraid of the R word because a false accusation can destroy your life, cost you your job etc

Honest question and I hope for an honest answer,

why do people in the US take a lot of time to react in such situations?

where I live (and most places) people take a action fast but from what I sew from US news even SWAT teams take a lot of time to take action!

[ManOnFire]

Very good question. And I too notice the same thing in our country. I think it largely has to do with laziness and being so used to comfort in going about our days without issues like that, that a fast response is delayed in our brains. Plus people are spending time wondering if they should get involved and what's going to happen if they do.

[comekitty]

It's an every day reality. I taught 1st grade - and I have had kids call me b*tch, I had a kid tell me to suck his d*ck, oh, I could go on. I teach kindergarten now and, while this year they're sweet kids, in past years I've had kinder kids say, "f*ck you' and then the room down the hall from me had kinder kids literally throwing their chairs and ripping stuff off the walls. As a teacher, we call for support - but nobody comes. Admin barely comes out of their offices. One kid last year tackled another kid and proceeded to try and choke him. Behavior is out of control. At our middle school there was recently a fight where one kid repeatedly head stomped another kid. The police were called and the one kid is still in the hospital. It is a very scary and extremely sad state of affairs. 😥

[comekitty]

And last year, a kindergartner brought a taser to school. 😳

[ManOnFire]

When I was a kid in school I remember we had some kids who would attack the teacher and call her a bitch too. Some of these kids you could clearly see had issues at home, neglect, abuse, and whatever else. But an 18 year-old assaulting a teacher over a damn video game console is just nuts.

[AMS700CX4u2]

I am 72 years old and have ADHD and I have never displayed uncontrollable violence like that But then again my father and brother have Asperger's. They never to my knowledge ever displayed violent outburst like that. My father delivered spankings only after cooling down. When I got married, he warned me that my hand should never deliver punishments in the heat of the moment. It could be lethal if rage was involved. If Autistic children are not taught that there are consequences for their actions, you are doing them a disservice. " I got ADHD" will hold no sway with a judge when you are facing a murder conviction. We learn the hard way with ADHD but we do learn. From the appearance of the video, he had never felt the pain of the type of beating he was inflicting. I hope he learns before he is out on his own. Once he is considered an Adult the law will take the same action with him as they do with anyone they witness in an assault.

[the_sinner]

I guess the kid literally needs severe punishment/ legal action. His parents also need immediate counselling because it clearly seems the kid is unattended to. The teachers are doing so much to keep our kids educated and safe and in return they are receiving life threatening results. Shame on the kid and his parents. I know what I said is harsh but I said what I said.

[ManOnFire]

Fully agree.

[Smc08]

I’m mad that he didn’t go straight to jail in handcuffs. It’s weird tho. Because if it was another student that’s what would happen. And they wonder why good teachers are hard to keep.

[Still-alive]

I have a feeling that boy will be very familiar with the floridian justice system in his life lol

[ManOnFire]

Bro, it seems like that state is cursed with school troubles.

[ariadneR]

I know it's "wrong" nowadays to discipline your children, but that kid should have been disciplined a long time ago. Why is he bringing a switch to school anyway?

[Emiliamazing]

Electronic toys should have no place in schools. Probably just put it in his pack unnoticed

[gorydetails]

Disgusting that the “men” in that video didn’t come to her aid.

[ManOnFire]

Yep that too.

[fantasticass]

Kids learn what they live, so obviously this kid is growing up in a home full of violence and zero discipline. Do we blame the child; or the parents whom allow this behavior from their child? Either way, it's wrong on all levels.

[Anonymous]

Impulse control should be taught in all schools lol that’s what they get for not teaching much critical thinking skills, not saying she deserved it but….

[Anonymous]

Disgusting. The kid deserves to be locked up for a very long time.
