If you care about your kids, you won’t subject them to public school torture.
“What a country!” — Yakov Smirnoff
There is a serious lack of discipline in public schools, and it just keeps getting worse. The more minority the population is, the worse the discipline.
Wait... the kid wasn’t even there?
They played with his wheelchair that they found in a closet?
This seems like racist supremacy on the other foot.

Those Bullies need to be WHIPPED and EXPELLED!! Back in the good ole days, they would be sent to REFORM SCHOOL!
Thats pretty bad... Back in the day worst we ever did was switch his battery cables. Which drew laughter from even him when he pressed forward and went into reverse.
Hahaha
Everyone involved is black so nothing will happen.
Move along, nothing to see here.
Schoolkids have been taunting and teasing each other since forever; probably before Homer and Aristotle held lectures on mountainsides.
If the Mom can keep from overdramatizing this event, it might even work to benefit her son.
Loosen up and toughen up a little bit.
If he can absorb this small dose of “mean but harmless” treatment, he will be less likely to crumble after high school, when life provides other bitter lessons about human nature.
Tay had probably been insulated from rudeness much more than a non disabled teenager. You can get past this. Dont retreat into your emotional coccoon again.
Well, this appears to be they used his chair when he wasn’t around, and were doing other things... basically got the keyes to a classroom and pulled some pranks, as part of this some of them rode in the chair and acted like him.
None would likely know about the acting like him part, if they hadn’t stupidly filmed themselves doing it.. and I assume later posting it or sharing it.
The boys clearly should not have done it, but this wasn’t they stole the chair from him and mocked him to his face while using it.
From the story the kids have been made to apologize to him already, and I assume they have faced other disciplinary action for this and other actions they did that day (stacking desks, going into a room they should’t have, etc).
Again, NO they should not have done it, but I am not sure honestly how far you should take this, this is a teachable moment about empathy and humanity. I don’t any of these kids thought about the results of their actions, or had malicious intent in their hearts while doing it, and like teen boys do were caught up, most likely in their moment of stupidity and group mentality. I doubt any of them at the time thought about how it was going to make this boy feel if he saw it.
This isn’t a case where they intentionally did this to his face... and again NO that doesn’t excuse it, but I don’t classify this is the same category as direct intentional bullying and intimidation.
Obviously there could be more to the story, but the parents and family of the boy aren’t alleging this is an ongoing pattern their son has endured from these kids, etc.
So, how far do you take it? Teachable moments when handled correctly help us to grow, when handled incorrect, a huge opportunity is lost.
Obviously, don’t know these kids, don’t know the entire situation.. I understand the parents anger, I know if it was my kid, my first reaction as a father would be to beat the tar out of these snots... but once calming down I would realize, I was a teenage boy once two, and I did stupid thoughtless things... especially in a group scenario.. Fortunately when I was caught doing them the adults around me were wise enough to guide me and teach me, not simply punish me (though I did get punished to)..
I am sure these kids will be punished, and they should be, but I hope this teachable moment isn’t turned into a federal case... unless these kids have a much larger background and history of such behavior.
I bet they don't go there when they are supposed, too.
Trump should QUIETLY send a new and better motorized wheelchair. Let the family know from whom, but don’t tell the eneMedia.
Expel every last one of them Permanently
The little cretins’ faces can be blurred but their hands, legs, hoodies and cornrows are still visible.
