[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is not an IEP issue, and it never was. It’s very obvious that this child needed to be institutionalized, even if he was never properly diagnosed. The family turns out to be disturbing and enabling the trauma and endangerment of many others. They are probably aware of many other instances that would set off alarm bells. The administration - an utter failure beyond the pale. If anything good comes off of this, I hope Ms Zwerner will never have to work again a day in her life, not the teacher who was strangled, and the parents of the classmates should be livid and sue as well. Nothing changes in this country without big lawsuits.
School districts take notice. Don’t confuse children who benefit from inclusion and children who are well on the path to become killers. This should not be that hard.[/quote]

Good points, but I cannot buy into the bad seed belief.  
Not sure how accrurate the earlier post about his home evnironment is, but I find it to be believable.  Sounds to me like he definitely needed to be removed from that encironment and put into some kind of special place.[/quote]

As far as the bad seed, it’s not a belief;  there is a medical condition where a certain part of the brain is underdeveloped. It cannot be cured and leads to violent/evil behavior very early on.  It will be obvious to the parents (and others) with many red flags. It is rare of course, but these kids end up in prison or institutions.

With a mom who does not keep her gun safely away from a disturbed child, there is something else going on here.

I'd still like to know more about the actions of the family with this child.  Someone posted above about the family from social media.  It may or may not be true.  If it is true, this child has been rewarded for inappropriate and disturbing behavior.[/quote]

The father has a FB live stream that was still up the other day. The very small kid says he is going to shoot someone, then looks to father and makes eye contact. The family did call him "Badness." He was groomed and rewarded with attention for violent and anti-social behavior. Think of the power and attention of a parent going to school and focusing on him. Several generations of young teen parents. The parents and at least one grandmother were all quite engagged with him, none were in prison or abandoned him, yet the socialization was inverted somehow. It is shocking to see how small and young the boy is and to try to reconcile that with the teacher saying she will never forget the look in his eyes. The boy was violent toward peers and has so much anger. In one photo he appears to be alone playing GTA, a violent video game. Had he been removed for a time and had gotten interventions when he strangled a teacher at 5, so much could have been averted.

He does have very low ears, as does the alleged killer in Idaho so there may be genetics and environment both at play. [/quote]
