Teacher shot at Newport News elementary school

[Anonymous]

There is nowhere for deeply disturbed children to go. The only people willing to take them in are predators.

So private? Or moved away from that area and now at a public school in another county??

Public outside NN is what I heard. Hopefully without violence.

Well, that is impossible for this kid. He is one of those that will continue to commit crimes and be violent until he kills someone or is killed.

Where is the dad in this instance?

He’s in the picture, they’re just not married. He’s also a pothead according to records.

The court of appeals refused to hear the school board’s appeal so the case is going to trial. She will get her day in court after all.

It was an interlocutory appeal so while she gets to go to court now, the issue of whether she is entitled to recovery through workers’ comp or through the tort system will still get decided by a higher court later. It’s not really a victory.

I don't know what will happen in Abby's case. I do know that what happened to her, the crime committed against her by the student, the students' caregivers and the admins, has done a lot to turn potential young teachers away from the profession.

The dad is involved based on social media. He does not have criminal charges to my knowledge but watches a lot of violence and porn and doesn't react when kid talks about shooting people. Grandparents and great grandfather (who has custody) involved too. It's just that all let him play GTA as a preschooler, and joked about his rage and lack of emotional regulation.

This is fantastic news. I hope various recent news stories indicate a new wave of accountability in our country - negligent parents and admin need to stop getting away with dangerous enabling.

This is such a relief. Another article below. Yes, accountability is overdue.

Yes, this is long overdue. Time to charge parents who help their children be violent like in this case and in the Crumbley case. And time to charge the admins who ignore teachers pleading for help with violent kids like in Abby Zwerner's case.

GOOD! It's time for admin to WAKE UP and take these damn things seriously.

According to this article, the former assistant principal is a fugitive! She’s on the run. She’s charged with 8 felonies.
