A mental health advocate has launched a furious defense for the 6'6" boy, 17, who attacked and knocked a teaching aide unconscious after she took his Nintendo Switch away from him.
Sue Urban - whose 17-year-old son graduated from Matanzas High School before taking his own life - has responded to the incident where a 17-year-old special needs student, who weighs 270 pounds, attacked his teaching aide on Tuesday.
Neither the student nor the teaching aide's names have been released publicly.
'This is not this child's fault. He is not a threat,' Urban said in an emotionally Facebook Live. 'This is a mental health issue. This is a problem with our system, it is broken.
'That post needs to be removed from the Flagler County Sheriff's website immediately.'
Urban, who also has a stepson in the same behavioral wing as the boy in the video, told DailyMail.com this special wing is for 'children that are not in the general population of the high school,' and that her son and the boy were 'school friends,' but in separate classes.
'This is not just a thug,' she told DailyMail.com. 'People need to be educated on children that have ESE [Exceptional Student Education]. They should also be educated on impulsive aggression behavior, and that most times these children do not understand the consequences of the behavior.'
She also told DailyMail.com that the child lived in a group home and his mother did not live in Flagler County, which a faculty member told her at the school board meeting on Wednesday night.
In a Facebook Live, Urban, who became a mental health advocate after her son's death, continued: 'That child has mental health issues. He is just that, a child.'

Fat ass black kid who probably stole that Nintendo switch beats nearly to death a white teacher and of course the fat ass black kid is the victim of course he is he’s oppressed don’t ya know I mean nearly weighs 300 pounds poor kid is starving
its possible perhaps that his mental condition may mitigate the degree of fault...but how the heck is he not a threat if he might beat somebody unconscious over a video game controller? A tiger might be naturally inclined to eat people and thus not morally wrong to...but that hardly makes it a safe critter to hang out with.
If you’re kicking someone in the head who is down, not to mention unconscious, you are not only a threat but you are a grave threat.
Fat ass black kid

I know – – what an idiotic statement by this “mental health professional”. A poor woman is on the ground knocked unconscious by this thug, but he’s “not a threat”?
I was about to post this thread:
https://nypost.com/2023/02/24/florida-student-beats-teacher-for-taking-nintendo-switch/
before the search turned up with your OP. Look at the size of that landwhale they are called a child.
He is not a child. He committed the act. He is quite obviously a threat.
We are not being told how many other violent outbursts from this gentle giant.
Yes that kid has mental health issues. Likely a sociopath like all the other thugs causing violence in this country. Make up way to large a percentage of people.
His “special need” is a jail cell.
That one guy looks to be a cop not a student.
Maybe execute both of them?
This is the average urban child who has been bred & educated for hatred and violence...
Welcome to South Africa II...
“Mental health advocate launches furious defense of 6’6” thug, 17, weighing 270lbs who had to be dragged off unconscious female teaching aide”
And the Neocons think that the US is capable of winning a war against China and/or Russia?
Yes it is. He’s a feral animal that should be put down.
First of all, why’d he have the Nintendo Switch (whatever that is) to start with? Secondly, why did the student feel entitled to disobey the teacher’s instructions (which likely started before the kid started using the Nintendo)
This kid is in school simply because society doesn’t know what else to do with him — or have the guts to do the right thing and give him dignified, manual work instead of “school.”
Our enemy is the one within.
