An attorney for Abigail Zwerner said that she has notified the school board in Newport News that the 25-year-old teacher plans to sue the school district over the Jan. 6 shooting.
She said that Zwerner first went to an administrator at around 11:15 a.m. on the day of the shooting and said the boy had threatened to beat up another child, but no action was taken. Shortly after 1 p.m., another teacher told an administrator that a different student who was "crying and fearful" said the boy showed him the gun during recess and threatened to shoot him if he told anyone. Again, no action was taken, she said.
Superintendent George Parker III, who has been sharply criticized by parents and teachers in the wake of the shooting, has said that at least one administrator was told on the day of the shooting that the boy might have a weapon, but no weapon was found when his backpack was searched. Police have said that school officials did not tell them about that tip before the shooting, which happened hours later.
That’ll be a pretty good settlement. Hope it was worth it a holes
Charge the parent(s) with attempted murder
A pronatalist society (which is wrong), believes that every little kid and their parents are innocent. They're not. This is why people shouldn't believe that parenthood is sainthood & that all children are angels. They're not. That's what pronatalism wants people to believe.
Call the police? Just take the damn gun away and THEN call police. What were they waiting for? Someone to get sh. . .oh . . .
What the actual F? You can’t wrap your arms around a six year old and pull a gun off him?
The consequences of woke culture at it's finest...
Wait, RTI and PBIS strategies are supposed to solve issues?!
“Systemic racism” at work!
They just assumed he had a conceal carry permit
sinnedevol Not one staff member bothered to stop the boy either? 'Warned administrators'... What kind of re---- let's a boy threaten others liner that and does hardly even the minimum by 'warning admin'. All of them should be given 3 months no pay to think about their lack of action.
Why didnt the staff call the police themselves or take the gun if they knew he had it? If there was a fire in the school wouldnt the same staff pull the fire alarm or are they waiting for administration to call the police? What kind of school is this?
I hope the teacher sues his parents.
They let a 6 year old run around with a gun because they didn't want to be called racist.
They didn't want to be called racist for calling the police
They let it happen to support calls for more gun control.
Interesting 🤔
How many of you crying about the end of civic society will demand criminal charges be put on admins that failed to act? I didnt think so. You dont care you just want to larp.
Remember when that kid ate his sandwich to the shape of a gun and got suspended? Or that kid that drew a hunter but got suspended because the hunter had a gun in his hand? How the pendulum swings. 🤡
I wonder if they would've ignored it if it was a little white boy.
Wokeness killed her.
Seriously!? They have all been trained to work with kids and not one of them thought to bribe that kid with a piece of bubble gum or something he wanted to lay the gun on the desk and walk away? Seriously? Not one person? He's 6.
Law suit Big Time
Can’t u just take a gun off of a child?
Every person that is award should be charged with negligent attempted homicide
That’s cray cray.
Teachers unions...
No one said 'F%! it I'm taking that shit. He's only 6.'
Black privilege.
😜🌎
What staff?
The eternal teacher
Why didn't the teachers call thr police? Wtf
Enjoy your millions and early retirement
The police won’t do anything. Their too scared
The family claims the 6 year old student was 'disabled'. What was the disability? Was it a psych diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)? ODD children purposefully harm others. Is that why the one of the boy's parents was required to always be with him at school?
This is the height of leftist “intersectionality”
Negotiating a severance package with the superintendent? What about terminating the spineless administrators who failed to act on the complaints? I really hope this goes to court.
So they were hoping someone get shot for the narrative ? Why else wouldn't you address a 6yr old with a gun. The administrators should all get fired and sued.
Doesn’t surprise me. Wouldnt want to actually keep people safe now would they? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
They are all adults, they were to scared of the repercussions to walk over, punt that kid square in the jaw and take that gun. This is what society has become. The outcome could have been a hell of a lot worse, like.... 10 dead students, maybe more.
God forbid we offend you know who
Arrest the administrators for endangering everyone. also liable for the teachers injuries
Every damn time.
What’s being a racist is not intervening, taking this gun off this child, letting him ruin his life at 6 years old. They should all go to prison. They are the adults and should know better, they should all be charged with this shooting and should be held on no bail
Get your kids out of public schools like this one.
She about to get PAID!!!
Fire EVERY ONE OF THEM!
I wonder what race the shooter was.
So people were murdered because the administration didn’t want to be called racists 🤬
He had a gun wtf this is why I willnever be an educator
3 times and no one call the police
My son was almost expelled from school for having a pocket knife in his backpack and throwing it away in the field across the street from our house two blocks from the school, but since he was on his way to school he was considered being the school's responsibility..
The teachers knew this first grader was carrying a gun, was threatening people with a gun, reported it to school administrators, and they did not call the police? If true, epic levels of negligence. Now a woman is shot and taxpayers are on the hook for the millions, she deserves.
UrBetsyJean If the same student had bit a sandwich into the shape of a gun he would've been expelled immediately.
Afraid to do the right thing because the child is black
blacks are so oppressed in America that authorities can be warned about one brining a gun to a school 3 times and nothing will be done to them
My God! 3 people and probably way more told the school that this child had a gun 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Oh, you mean the black boy?
Anyone else notice the trend of so called officials either having full advance notice or warning of such things about to occur and being complacent up until AFTER a tragic incident like this happens?
So im supposed to believe people knew a 6 year old had a gun for hours, and that no one took it away?
Kids aren't safe under the care of school administration. This is not In Loco Parentis.
I guarantee if it was a white kid, the cops would have been called after the 1st time...
Schools love to make the arguement that they take the role of the parent to children while school is in session. But when shit like this happens do we hear the school take responsibility? Nope.
ComradeDoyIe I remember being terrified when I accidentally took a pocket knife to school because it was left in my backpack. If there was a hint of a child having a gun at school someone else should have called the authorities!
Didn’t want to be responsible for a 6-year old black kid in handcuffs, which would make them unemployable for life and elicit condemnation all the way up to end including the White House It’s the trolley problem except they were at the lever and on the tracks at the same time
people are so afraid of looking racist that theyll take a bullet in the chest for it
Personally i wouldn't clarify the disability which turns a child violent and murderous as a cute one
MysteryGrove Why didn’t the teachers take the gun from the kid if they knew. Why did they go to the administration first instead of just taking the gun first then go to the administration.
Unacceptable!
Why didn’t the administration disarm him? Is this not suspicion enough?
Why are red flag warnings dismissed?
Why didn't they call the cops instead? Buffoonery.
What is going on! Why haven’t Trump and his cults not in prison!!! Why are you still letting this sicko run again for president! Ban them all from running and get them all out of office!!!
This child is absolutely white. They beat racialized children for much less than this
Are they gunna charge them with murder the way they do for poor ppl in proximity to crime?
Gross negligence
The Glenn Youngkin factor. People afraid to engage in common sense behavior for fear of retribution.
Massive Liability
The absolute pinnacle example of uncaring management.
