Where is the thread from the woman at the PTA meeting? The link you posted is from a Fox 5 person spreading the same misleading headline as the other Fox 5 person (“No charges,” which suggests there has been a decision not to charge, even though MCPD already responded to say charges are pending and the investigation is ongoing). I always thought the local Fox affiliate was better than Fox News, but I was wrong.

Local Fox is better than national Fox News, but it's still Fox.

It should be quite clear that "no charges right now" means "no charges right now," not "no charges ever" - unless a person is trying to be inflammatory.

That’s the MCPS message, not from BCC.

Yes. What is your point? Do you work for MCPS?

No, I’m a BCC parent who was wondering why I didn’t receive a message from the school saying the case was closed with a link to something about restorative justice. Turns out it’s because there was no such message from BCC and the MCPS message said no such thing.

Here's the police chiefs clarification

The Montgomery County police chief said on Twitter last night that charges are pending.

If you check the thread replies, there are people who say the kids were just being kids or the problem is the parents who didn't teach their kids how to fight.

Other folks have very different opinions as we do here in the UMC echo.chamber. Your kids go to school with their kids.

We don't spank our kids. That's why they aren't thugs that express their emotions through violence.

That might be part of it, but a bigger part is unaddressed developmental issues like ADHD, FAS, oppositional disorder, etc.

And parenting/lack of parenting, and peer group

I've been in the presence of some of these parents/sperm donors...sadly it doesn't surprise me one bit that their children behaved the way they did. Unfortunately, it took THIS! to wake up the community. The behaviors go all the way back to elementary/middle school Their free ride ended Thursday night.

No it didn’t. The kids got away with it, at least at BCC. Parents received an email saying it’s been taken care of, and whatever happened will remain secret.

Then they sent a link to some restorative justice nonsense.

The letter was sent to every parent in MCPS. It said nothing about restorative justice. It said that some of the kids were disciplined in school according to the MCPS Code of Conduct and that there is an ongoing police investigation. Schools never reveal what consequences are doled out. Ever.

FERPA makes it dicey to share that sort of info.

If I don’t hear about arrests il officially give up.

Well MCPS is keeping punishments a secret. We shall see about the police.

Juvenile records are sealed.

Nothung stops the police from saying arrests are made. They just wont name names.

When was this sent? I’m a BCC parent and the last message I got from the school about it was Dr. Mooney’s 9/5 community letter about the two investigations and that those who videoed it would also be punished. Nothing since other than the MCPS message about measures they will be taking at games and that police are still conducting an investigation.

This email was from the central office not BCC.

Yes.

Wrong. It said that the case was closed in terms of MCPS punishment. No parent at the school will ever know what type of punishment was supposedly doled out.

The ongoing investigation is going on by MoCo police.

Do not lie.

Nah. I have two sons with adhd and asd. One with odd too. Neither has ever assaulted anyone. In fact one was physically attacked at school and didn't fight back. Watch the girl throwing hands in the video. That's not the first time she's been in a fight. Sone families allow it, some even encourage it.

That's what I thought too. Definitely not her first rodeo. That girl has a lot of experience with violence..

It's tragic. But kids with this kind of upbringing need to be identified early on and treated accordingly in a safe environment.

Some parents are really awful and their kids don't have a chance. MCPS is not doing anyone any favors by refusing to hand out consequences to violent behavior

Every body hates tiktok but I think it's an eye opener into how other people live their lives. I've seen parents record and egg on fights between very small children, even siblings and then post it on the internet.
Alot of umc parents think everyone else is just like them, only with varying degrees of money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some people are living their lives like they're extras in a mad max movie and raising their kids like that too.
