What an unbelievably stupid post. Maybe try one iota of fact-checking before ranting and raving nonsense about why MCPS didn't arbitrarily place teenagers in a special ed school for elementary kids. Just beyond uninformed. If this is the kind of hysterical nonsense that parents send to the schools, no wonder they don't listen.

+1000.  And they listed Title 1 like it's an independent school  :roll: [/quote]

I'm trying to get criminals out of the schools and lock them up so they don't shoot other kids.

What are you doing?

Better take a real hard look in the mirror sunshine.[/quote]

Then get your facts straight honey. The student that got shot was the "criminal" with the ankle monitor, not the shooter. [/quote]

Get your facts straight honey.  BOTH were criminals.

The shooter recently transferred into Wootton from Blake HS in Silver Spring.  Charged with attempted second‑degree murder, two counts of first‑degree assault, two counts of second‑degree assault, and (multiple) firearms‑related charges such as possession of a dangerous weapon on school property. Potentially faces 30+ years of charges and will remain in custody at an adult (not juvenile) detention facility without bond.

The shooter claimed in court that he wasn't the aggressor.  The kid shot is the same kid who told his "mental health professional" last year he was bullied at Wootton, making all the fuss that got the Principal replaced. His mom wanted to transfer him out but claims she was blocked. There is also a claim that the kid shot was wearing an ankle monitor.[/quote]

But in court yesterday it was stated the shooter had no priors - so he was not a criminal prior to Monday. You have no evidence that he should have been placed anywhere else other than the public school where he lives, which is where he was. While I get wishing there was a way this could have been avoided, it would be a horrible policy for MCPS to just start sending kids to alternate placements because they transferred mid year - and I know no one is really honestly saying they should, but thats how many of these posts read when you say that young man should have been in an alternate school! We simply don't know enough yet to make that statement.

Now, if the victim's mom pursues legal action, that may lead to an investigation on the shooters school records and then it'd be known if the shooter had a history in MCPS of causing trouble. The shooter could not have been connected to the bullying last year though since he was not at Wootton then. [/quote]

Trying to imply things and play the race card again?  Read it again.  Maybe with glasses this time.

The shooter recently transferred into Wootton from Blake HS in Silver Spring.  That's a fact.  That explains why the parent's at Wootton don't seem to know this kid, since most Wootton kids are pretty sociable and hang out together or at each others homes.  So how and where did the shooter (with no priors) obtain a ghost gun and ammunition?  Is that legal?  Oh, wait.  It's one of the charges against him.  Regardless whether or not he had priors, the shooter is now facing a possible 30+ years of charges and will remain in custody at an adult (not juvenile) detention facility without bond.  That's a fact as well.

He'll have his day in court with an attorney, but do you really think he'll walk right back into Wootton again?  I'd love to see MCPS do that!  Maybe we can lobby to fire the new Principal and his supporters in the same day?

The mother of the kid who was shot gave an interview.  Put it all out there.  She claimed her son told her, the school and his "mental health professional" that he was a victim of bullying last year and tried to transfer him out.  That was all the big fuss last year about Wootton that resulted in the Principal (who was a good one) getting replaced.  The shooter claimed in court that he wasn't the aggressor.  Those are all facts.

There is also a claim that the kid shot was wearing an ankle bracelet.  Those are for the hardcore kids one step away from incarceration.

In other words, the same kid just happened to be involved in both the alleged 'racism' mess at Wootton last year, and shooting incident this year.  Quite a coincidence.  So if, as his mother claimed in her TV interview, she requested school re-assignment, why wasn't it granted by MCPS?  Why didn't the new Principal accomodate the request?

That is the story behind the stories here.  There are many at MCPS that need to be fired this time.[/quote]

I genuinely do not understand why any of the "facts" about the victim make him a criminal.  Being bullied and working with a mental health professional make you a criminal?[/quote]

The pp is basically making a lot of wild assumptions to construction the worst possible scenario for each of the individuals and entities involved. Namely the shooter, victim, and MCPS.

Are those assumptions correct? Probably not.[/quote]
