A 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his teacher constantly cursed at staff and teachers, chased students around and tried to whip them with his belt and once choked another teacher 'until she couldn’t breathe,' according to a legal notice.

constantly cursed at staff and teachers, chased students around and tried to whip them with his belt and once choked another teacher “until she couldn’t breathe,” according to a legal notice filed by an attorney for the wounded teacher.

The incidents were described in a notice sent to the Newport News school district by Diane Toscano, an attorney for teacher Abby Zwerner, informing the district that Zwerner intends to sue. The notice of claim, which was obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request, outlines prior behavioral issues the boy had at Richneck Elementary School and troubling interactions he had with teachers and students.

Two days before the shooting, the boy allegedly “slammed” Zwerner’s cellphone and broke it, according to the claim notice. He was given a one-day suspension, but when he returned to Zwerner’s class the following day, he pulled a 9mm handgun out of his pocket and shot her while she sat at a reading table, the notice says.

I don’t know of a 6yr old, who could choke out a black female teacher, IJS

No this 6 year old needed old scholl beat down

No mention of race in a racist news outlet story means we know the race.

A farmer says, cut the yellow sprouts out so that healthy, green sprouts can grow better.

This little boy must have been a problem at home too. I’m wondering what his family has to say about all this.

He could be being bullied, I’ve seen some kids constantly bullied respond like this…

Your public schools doing business as usual.

What kind of parents are raising a child like that

Do you guys feel all that equity?

“Assistant Principal Ebony Parker…chose to do absolutely nothing.” Gee, what a surprise. 🤔

Welcome to public schools , gets worse everyday,see it everyday, getting out of hand quickly

man, who is this super strong kid, choking out teachers?

Oh my Lord, that kid will become an adult eventually, than what, s serial killer in the making.

In the Philippines, kids like him are made to kneel on salt with books hanging on both hands.

If you get choked out by a 6 year old, you deserve to be shot.

Yoga and ayurveda cure the ills of Americans snd American society guns shall be seized and destroyed a nation cannot be built on violence guns bring destruction to society including scientific knowledge in the hands of rouge states like North Korea

Yoga cure the ills of American society

Aja02537920 Wow, a proper little sadistic psycho then.

Appears he is on a path to prison …

A 6 year old choked out a teacher... BULLSHIT

How?!! How does a kindergartener choke and subdue a grown woman? I don’t understand.

Aja02537920 Born a psychopath

lbc360 I worked as a teachers aide for a year~ I clearly remember a big meeting with the superintendent where a coworker asked for combat pay because several special-needs students would bite, pull hair and hit. The superintendent was furious. Student violence is real.

I know it's not the point, but an adult got choked out by a 6 year old's tiny hands?

Choke means holding someone at the throat until the person cannot breathe. A 6 year old choking his teacher? The teacher intentionally wanted to die

I bet his behavior was linked to white supremacy and climate change.

WTF is this kid doing in a public school?

Typical fatherless child

Sounds like a chunky doll!!

Okay what adult would allow a 6 yr old to choke them? When the Doctor dug my foot out his little a$$........

And the parents that raised him, unsurprisingly, also leave guns accesible to small children.

Satan

We're going to be reading about this future serial killer eventually. We'll find out his name then, and everyone will wonder why nobody knew.

How a 40 pound kid became the incredible hulk. Something is being covered up. He just started school? A few months ago

Seriously? He is a baby, Lord! His parents should be in the jail. Obviously he needs treatment urgently. OMG!😳

ajzeigler I would ask why the student was allowed to get away with all of this?

Yet no charges have been brought on the parents or the administrators. Wonder why?

No shit. Northam passed laws for things like this. Is it racist now?

IAmSophiaNelson What Seems this kid was a menace while at school and assaulted other kids and teachers! Wonder why he wasn’t expelled?

Sounds like the parents were abusive

A 6 year old 'choked his teacher until should couldn't breathe' ? May be they should start checking something else now to find out the exact ages of the students. This guy must be older that what it says on his birth certificate.

The child is 6 yo. STOP THIS YOU

6 years old! What does this say about our society?

Demon child

It is so cruel & inappropriate to report on the actions of a 6 year old CHILD who clearly needed more support than this school could provide. Leave this child alone and focus on the administration who didn't protect the teacher or other students. Have some compassion, honestly

My guess is he was either abused when younger and/or exposed to domestic violence in the home. That, or the bio mom was using substances during the pregnancy and his impulse-control problems are neurologically-based. Regardless, he needs treatment, not incarceration.

I’m sure it’s still all whitey’s fault

Dude. What the actual fuck is going on in Virginia?

Sounds like this kid needed a good old MS A$$ whooping🤷‍♂️

Must have such wonderful parents

Yet he stayed in school to continue his learned abusive behavior

And I would have 🤬🤬🤬 and went to jail happily. These kids and their parents gone meet the right one and yeah…

That all sounds like learned behavior. I hope child services is investigating the home.

EQUITY in action.

But of course the school couldn’t take any action to stop this behavior. That just wouldn’t be right. Gotta let it go on and on.

It's really hard to believe that a 6 year old could be choking and shooting teachers. That's a crazy kid. Most likely crazy parents too. Why was the little monster still at the school?

The principal’s reaction to all this doesn’t surprise me. I recall our classes **constantly** getting interrupted by little boys and teachers just… didn’t care to ever send them to the principal. Boys are allowed to go nuts.

So he should have been put down a long time ago.

How could a 6 year old choke an adult?

Get that kid out.

The teacher should sue. If the schools refuse to expel students that behave this way then they should be held responsible for all of their actions.

I’m trying to see. a 6 yo choke out an adult

A 6 year old boy choked a teacher 'until she couldn’t breathe'? Really? Who is? Hulk Hogan's son?

That child should not have been in school. He needs clinical care.

This is what he lived and the only way he knows how to communicate. Those parents should be held criminally liable and investigated in depth for neglect and abuse. He deserves a chance.

Kids mimic what they see. Parental figures, family, TV, music videos, YouTube, whatever. This behavior came from being viewed from a source.

Sounds like a real life chucky !

MagicBelle1 yet this kid was still allowed in school. Why aren’t the parents in. Jail.
