His adopted parents warned the school but no one listened. Public schools were only interested in the extra money because he was special needs. What did they ever do to teach him to control his temper?
Sounds like everything was this kids trigger. Special school or confinement he was a danger to anyone he came in contact with.
Piss on the ADA and open the asylums again.
Not everybody is equal no matter how many times you say it.
good. that poor teacher should have never had to deal with this so called ‘school boy.’ i pray that the young man learns humility, turns his life around, and finds God in prison. from now on, fully trained, hopefully male, guards will pull all and any necessary ‘triggers’ for him.
This kid deserved at least 10-15 years hard time for this.
Castrate him. Sounds like a testosterone issue.
Obviously no impulse control.
That is the most Bull**** list of "warnings" I have ever seen.
"Let my precious kid do whatever he wants, never say no, and never correct him".
No public school can do that or every ghetto kid will come with the same set of instructions in a few years.
With any luck he will kill a useless criminal in prison and get life...

FSP! If he even gets out he will recidivise or Michael Brown within a year. Schadenfreude!
The sentence was not long enough. My trigger is thugs committing violent crimes.
When I was in sixth grade, one of my friends from elementary school brought a knife of some sort to school - I think it was the Swiss Army variety. For that, he was sent to a BD school until our sophomore year of high school.
This guy should have been in an institution where he can be taught over time to cope with stressors. Being told, “No” is a trigger? Are you kidding me? How is this guy going to cope in the real world? Is he just going to have his nose buried in a portable console for all of adulthood? Dependent on everyone around him and at the same time posing a threat to them?
Absolutely insane. That woman deserves a massive settlement from the school district for putting her in such danger. They obviously knew how volatile he was.
No excuse for violence, ever. And that teacher should be suing the school district for huge damages that such a monster with “triggers” was allowed in the school. I have a 2 year old that has “triggers” but he is way less than half as tall and he is being taught that he needs to mature beyond the terrible twos.
The best analogy I can make is that dealing with such kids is like taming a feral cat. Due to infirmities of mind, such kids lack the normal development of executive control that is part of growing up for human children.
Over time, from a low standard, such kids tend to gradually learn impulse control through coaching and by developing self-discipline. The lure is to be able to return to be with other kids and take part in class activities of their own accord. In short, with such kids, carrots and treats, patience, praise, and sympathy work better than sticks and confrontation.
My very limited knowledge of special education kids is that such an approach works. My mother was a founding member of a women's group that raises funds for a Catholic special education school. And the school used the alternative approach, which now has increasing academic support.
The name of the school—Matanzas—might be a clue to a student who understands Spanish.
“Matanzas” means “Slaughter”.
It is also the name of the town where the last AmerIndians remaining in Cuba were slaughtered to the man.
At 6’6’ and 270 pounds, that would feed a lot of starving cannibals in the democrat plantation.
Short Buses are built for a reason.
“I’m convinced kids like this don’t need to be in public schools. They should be in their own special schools like in the past.”
So true. I don’t understand why they ever decided to integrate the way they did. Was it a financial thing? Was it to improve self esteem for the kids? It’s just dangerous, and holds back the kids without those issues.
He shouldn’t be in prison. He should be in a state hospital. I want violent criminals behind bars, but this case is different.
Before you all flame away, read the background:
He has a severe mental disability. He was living in an institution. His parents didn’t put him in school. The state did.
And he’s the THIRD special ed student in that school system who attacked an aide. The other two were NEVER sent to prison, even though they were older.

None of these students should ever have been put in the school system.
Here’s more info on Brendan Depa’s case: https://flaglerlive.com/brendan-depa-my-son-story/#gsc.tab=0
To summarize:
Brendan’s (adoptive) parents homeschooled him because of his problems. When he grew big and strong, they could no longer handle him, so they put him in “long-term hospitalization.” But, the insurance company forced him out, and the state took over his case. The state puts these patients into group homes. The group homes use the public school special ed programs as “day programs.”
So, the state placed Brendan in a group home and a special ed program, despite his parents’ objections.
Again, he’s the THIRD special ed student who attacked an aide there. The other two were sent right back to their group homes. But, he’s been sentenced to prison for five years?
None of them should be in prison or group homes or special ed programs. They should be in state hospitals.
In Texas, a teaching assistant died three days after she was attacked by a special ed student, but no one is talking about that case.

Bring back the state institutions.
Institutionalized... special needs my ass. Bad parenting is at the top of my list.
Anyone with that many triggers belongs locked up or sent to Canada for self euthanizia.
she should have home schooled him with so many triggers.
Being told NO? Life’s gonna be tough for her little prince.
