Great. Where is the child?

I believe living with his grandfather.

Homeschooled? I would hope so.

The child should be in juvi or a fully committed to a mental rehabilitation center

There’s no juvi for six year olds. He should be required to have extensive therapy and schooling in a special school.

Yes, but based on reports of his actions and behavior prior to the shooting, that should have happened long ago and didn’t. So I’m assuming that homeschooling is the best the public can hope for here.
It is absurd that there seems to no longer be any alternative schooling options for children who pose such a threat to others.

"In the moments after a 6-year-old shot his teacher in a Virginia classroom last January, the boy made statements including “I shot that (expletive) dead,” and “I did it. I got my mom’s gun last night,”

Yup this is the first interview with the reading specialist.

Based on what the reading specialist said, charges for Ebony Parker should be forthcoming. Parker should spend some time in prison, her failure to act on that day was criminally negligent.

My post will probably be deleted, but the Roe vs. Wade reversal is going to unleash a whole lot more of this in 5 to 7 years.

This. The woman's lawyer is saying that "Taylor faced mental health issues after having an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, which he said contributed to the shooting." So it's not enough that she gave birth to this devil's spawn of a child when she was 19 years old - she has continued getting pregnant despite being a drug user and not having custody of her own child. Her grandfather apparently has custody. On what planet does a great-grandparent have responsibility for raising a 6-year-old severely disturbed child? She is a perfect argument for mandatory long-acting birth control, or if that doesn't work, sterilization.

There are 1000s of young drug users in our country just like her spawning future criminals. The juvenile crime statistics in our cities are soaring. It’s a societal problem no one wants to address.

Or maybe there wasn’t enough government funding for the help this child and family members so clearly needed.

Clearly you are not educated about this case; because if you were you wouldn't be making this ridiculous statement. The family home of this deeply disturbed child is equally disturbing. Both of his parents sound like complete nightmares, with the only somewhat stability being the grandfather. It is all well documented. Sure, there are some very good and well meaning parents out there in the world who try everything to help their child and the cards are stacked against them and if only there were more government resources their child might success. But this particular family is not that, not at all. So stop.

I’m guessing that money is involved here. Quite often when the parents are messed up, the grandparents get money from the government to have official custody of the grandkids, even though often those kids continue to basically be raised (or not) by the messed up parents.

This kid is headed for a life of crime.

He needs to be removed from the home and put in some kind of military school. Yes, even at 6 years old.

No, not military school. Berating these kids and making them feel like crap for behaviors beyond their control is not the solution. The kid needs intensive, significant, compassionate 24x7 residential treatment with skilled therapists that specialize in young children.

Agree with this, the only way he has a chance. He should certainly be removed from his current home immediately.

This. Let’s remember he’s a child that is six years old. His parents though should be thrown in jail.

And who is going to pay for that? The only way you really get that is privatized and specialized care that is expensive. Public resources are stretched and most of the services that are available to public cases are not close to that.

I understand why you suggest that, but realistically, he will not get that care as a public ward.

He’s not suited for foster care and too young for a group home for teenage thugs. Yes, pay his relatives to take him until he’s old enough to join a gang.

And this exists for 6 year olds where?
