Specialneeds or Not.... NO CHILD SHOULD EVER BE HARMED AT SCHOOL!!!!!
Most special needs educators have way too many special needs students to monitor, unfortunately. Many families with special needs students DEMAND that their students have a right to a public education. I understand they are advocating for their kids, but some special needs students, due to their behavioral issues, cause too much classroom chaos so that the other students aren't learning.
@Missy-Missy1111 this is true.
Incomparison to the 80s-90s, "Special Needs Students" were 1 : 200... but since the 2000s and up, the ratio has drastically increased 1 : 5 . From ADD to Severe Autism (with far too many spectrums to name).
Why is this??
As a parent of a daughter with ADHD, I understand the need for having an EA... but the levels of needs _some_ students require, Far exceed the capabilities of the EAs. 😞
Which is why privatized schools for "Special Needs Students" should be prioritized. And they should not be placed in regular schools.
Imo.
@OG-Anetka I wish you & your daughter the best. Your daughter deserves a safe & equal educational environment so she can achieve her goals. Sadly, the states won't find the money for your simple solution. Also, there aren't enough special needs educators.
@@Missy-Missy1111it's a nightmare. You can't teach them anything and they disrupt all the classes and no one gets an education. Some are sweet but there are alot that who belong in special schools
@musixvideox5704 Parents are not doing their jobs.. They expect the teachers to raise their kids, while at home, they give the kid a phone for a pacifier all day, and ignore it.
If a child is dangerous they need to be kept away from little children . A 5 year old doesn't expect to be attacked at school.
They need to learn that they’ll face criminal charges for their actions.
@@liamwatson5125oh yeah, lock up the five years olds while the drug addled zombies inhabit the bus stations. 😂
@@Supersquishyawesomeness They’ll definitely lock up the attacker.
@@Supersquishyawesomenessyou do know he wasn’t talking about the 5 year old right…?😂
it can take up to a year or two to get the violent kid away to a school for special-need kids... First it takes zillions of meetings with zillion of people and extra teachers to help in the group who often have no education or interest, just signed up for the "easy" job...believe me I know.
4th grade students should never be sharing a classroom with kindergarteners
Maybe on the playground? I was pushed REALLY hard by a special needs kid in elementary, it was on the playground.
Amen
Exactly,have a seperate class for special needs students!! The government should provide money for specially trained teachers to look after special needs kids
@@estemeiring3705or just put them in a different school most can't function in regular classes anyways
Seems to me the aid that was not paying attention needs to be tuned up.
Downplaying battery to just assault is disgusting, sue the school for negligence
Forget it. If your child comes home with bruises, you called the police immediately and you sue the school for abuse and assault.
Dial 911 too and then also call CPS.
Go to your teacher first , right away, and get help.
No.. you still have to investigate yourself... When you get to this point this father, yes authorities need to be involved.. but a kid comes home with bruises, you still have to figure out what happened. Hopefully the teacher communicates first. Kids fall while playing on playground all the time. 5 year old especially.. you have to find out first... A family friends son fell off the swing trying to get off too soon. Face first into the gravel and punched a tooth through his bottom lip.. you have to figure out for yourself. This situation is not that. The cover-up is obvious and school is to blame!
@@forchrist013except idiot you can tell the difference between a fall bruising and a hit 🙄 my gosh I bruise easily but there were times I couldn't explain how I got this pretty bruise why? Because I sleepwalk but anyone could clearly see they were abused bruises because when I sleep walk I bump into things and don't know how to open a door I had bruises all around my ribs and chest area where I kept running into the door knob it was the only thing that high at the time I could have walked into plus they were circular and would have been a cut if it was the cabinet instead after that I made sure my door was left open I was sore for a couple weeks after that night
Why? so you can milk an underfunded school system out of a few million and the rest of the students can suffer when their programs get cancelled?
It’s a 4th grader beating on a 5 year old ‼️ that’s ridiculous where are the teacher’s don’t they supervise the kid’s ⁉️
_*teachers_ and _*kids._
No they don’t. Really. I know.

Obviously, it's NOT SUPERVISED!!
@frienjie7148 more specifically: "‼️ that’s ridiculous where are the teachers [comma], don’t they supervise the kids ⁉️"
Let's eat grandpa vs Let's eat, grandpa. Commas make the difference between eating grandpa or eating WITH grandpa. Lol, commas save lves! 😁
Yeah my six year old daughter was punched in the stomach on two different occasions by another student. The principal's remedy was to send my daughter on a course of how not to be bullied.🙄 Really its the boy who punched her that needs to be reeducated.🙄
Send your daughter to kick boxing. If I had kids they would be taking it.
I am a Antinatilist.
Teachers and aides mysteriously never see the bullying.
@@andreaparke4899 Seems like quite a few teachers are poorly equipped to deal with violent children, and the schools are not staffed well enough to keep the children safe.
They MAKE courses on how not to be bullied?! Literally proof that violence is inherant in the system!!
Just imagine if the Child showed up at school like this…the father would be in jail…
Sooo true!!!🤬🤬🤬
Absolutely!! I hadn't thought about it that way. You're totally right.
CPS would jump all over it.
Good point.
What is your point? A child did this to another child. Should they throw the child in jail? This was not an adult assaulting a child.
My son's kindergarten teacher told me that if my son were more "normal" he wouldn't be bullied - blame the victim mentality and totally sickening!
Next time, tell them your son wouldn't be bullied if the teacher didn't permit bullies.
Oooo that teacher would have gotten an earful from me and then I would have started writing to the principal and the district.
But don’t forget y’all!! Teachers are the victims! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You have grounds for a lawsuit you know.
If the bully was more normal, he would be bullying younger kids.
Lawyer up ; call the media ; don’t let it go . That’s what these “experts “ do to us .
Sue that school for negligent !
This was NO accident! Horrible!
The accident was that the paraprofessional lost track of the special need child. They didn’t say what disability the aggressor had, the 9 y/o good be a lvl 3 autistic child and really doesn’t understand what they had done. Not saying it’s an excuse, but unfortunately many special needs children grow up to be a dependent. Thank god the child hit on the face is alive, but at the same time the attack was most likely not intentional.
@@2112jp I taught fourth graders for 27 yrs, Special needs……I agree with you. Sad for all.
Damn this is totally unacceptable or inexcusable. Kudos to dad for fighting for his son I wish you all the best.
Apologetic, this is pathetic.I hope he sues the ever living hell out of these people
Big money
yes!!!
@TheDeadbirdy he would have to sue the parents of the special needs child.
Huge lawsuit.
these people ? what you mean THESE PEOPLE
???
Violent children do not belong in school. Their parents need to figure it out.
Fourth grade special needs student? The kid could be 16 years old!
This is a lazy excuse. Violence can be quelled, education still needs time.
You're basically saying criminals don't deserve second chances, but you're saying it about minors. How about we just get better "prison guards?"
When you send your kid to school, you hand over their safety to the staff. The staff failed him. Kids fight, it's human nature we learn to work out of ourselves, but to restrict a child from education because they're violent now only encourages violence when they're old enough to know better.
It isn't the doctors and engineers you see stealing from CVS...
Take it to the police immediately not the school principal, not the staff. The police!
It sounds like the older kid was known to be violent. Why were they even allowed to be in the same room as Kindergartners?
Ask the school administrators and patents of violent and behavior issue kids that question.
Violent kids do not belong in public schools.
Lol that’s where they are though
Amen. But can’t you hear those parents scream!? I feel so badly for teachers who have to put up with this nonsense, and then get blamed when there is an incident, which can happen in a flash.
My sister is an aide for special needs and she has a violent strong kid in class who has broken 4 computers, hits staff and students everyday. But admin says well they are special needs. No, kid is violent and should not be there, they are not equipped for that.
@@yeesh9215 Yeah at that point the parents should be paying for the damages
@@yeesh9215yep .i worked in my kids school lunch room aftercyears of being a hr.mom and volunteer they needed help in the Cafeteria, so I was the lunch. Assistait, when does it? Who took the money made change? Give the milk et ceyeah because I'm ever tired hairdresser and estate home. Mom at that point so I decided I'd make a little money since I was at the school most of the time anyway.😊 And let me tell you it was. Eye-opening and not in a good way.😢 I volunteered even with my older children. But I did hear full-time with them. But what time my baby came along? She's a late in life, baby. She's 16 years younger than our eldest and I became a state of homework with her. Because at that point we were financially able to help me stay home. And she was very much a mama's girl. Very smart child, very good. Little girl, but she always been home with me. So when kiddingarden started and they offered me a position. I took it so that I could be with Her to calm her fears and mine, to be quite honest.😊 And thank God I did because many times I had to literally run into her classroom and save her Kitty garden went fabulously. And helped her come out of Rochelle, make friends and by the end of the kindergarten, she had several friends was very polite and her teachers and principal adored her as she is a very intelligent young lady and. Quite the people pleasure.. But then first grade started.Her teacher loved her.In fact, her teacher put her in a special class.That was literally the teacher.My daughter and 2 other students for advanced children and the school.You start out great and tell about two Weeks in the school my daughter came into the lunch room where I had just finished up. Wiping off the tables and was preparing to.
Go to the kindergarten classroom where I volunteered after lunch hour as 80 a helper for kids who need extra help with reading. And my daughter came in looking ash. And de face and I knew something was wrong. Her teacher and authorized the students followed and her teacher said that I already just sit down at the lunch room tables and came over and explained to me. That they had a violent student and he was throwing chairs and beyond control. I thought this was weird for a first grader to be that violent and thought they're probably just getting the kids out of there for precautions. Didn't think much of it and knew my daughter was safe so. Everything was fine, Then, a few days later, they were back down in our lunch room again. My daughter looking quite ash and face and this time was actually shaking and crying. Her little silent tears. Her teacher had her arm around her and I asked my daughter if she was hurt, and my daughter said no. She was scared and the teacher explained to me that the same boy was throwing chairs and had actually punched the The teacher And it scared my daughter As we've come from a very solid Christian. Based home we do not scream. We do not fight. We do not have any violence whatsoever in our home. My daughter had never seen anybody behave this way and she was literally terrified. And she had never seen somebody act like a wild animal and this child watching his behavior over the next several months. That's the only way I can describe. It wasn't Wil the animal. He would go into these Fits of rage and he was a foster kid. And his foster mom was well-known to the school district. Has she had several foster kids and had for over 20 years? And unfortunately she clearly did it for the money. She was not overly concerned about his behavior she would literally tell the school. Well, just call the please if you can't control him. And the police will come every week for the same kid.And then he'd be right back in the school. This went on for 2 more years. Finally in third grade. Thank God my daughter, after first grade was no longer in his classes. Just by the short grace of God and in third grade, I had learned from one of my daughter's friend's mother that she was actually. Get no straining order against this boy. Because not only had this boy been attacking other classmates. He was trying trying to physically and sexually assault her daughter. He had tried several times in class to sexually assault her daughter. We're talking to third graders. These are 8 years and the teacher did everything she was. Capable of doing she moved her. She had removed him from the class and the school district. Would always end up putting him back. Even when they removed him from my daughter's friend's classroom and put him in another classroom, which in my opinion was ridiculous. He would find ways to break loose and render that classroom just to attack this young lady.😢 Well, that day that I talk to this girl's mom.Who is a acquaintance of ours?She told me she was pinned or trained to her against the family and therefore he would have to leave school because he had cornered her when she was coming out of the bathroom.He had broken loose of the His student aid workers grasp when he saw her by the restrooms and had grabbed her thrown her on the floor and preceded jump on top of her ripping her shirt and thank God the young man, by then, who was his student aid, got to him, lifted him up being strong enough and pulled him off with her. While the police were called, he was actually arrested and of course the girl was totally dramatized, she didn't come to school for 2 more weeks after that. So he was taken away and put in some kind of institution.And the last we heard that he was institutionalized for kids with sexual Deviant behaviors.So you're absolutely correct.Schools don't really do anything.I mean this kids behavior went on 4 2 years before anybody did anything
Schools usually keep older kids and kindergarten kids completely separated. No excuse for older kids with ""behavioral "" issues to be allowed anywhere near kindergarteners! Much less unsupervised!!
Hope the father sues the school and the other kid’s family. Also needs to sue the administrators and the teacher personally. Criminal charges need to be filed against them as well.
It's time to lawyer up Sue the school district sue the principal Sue the teacher's aide
Why the heck is a 10 year old child being in the class with 5 year old children? Even in a special education program, there is something called age appropriate peer contact. This is not it. What the heck is going on out there in the Philly region? There's no excuse for it, period.
Could be one of those things where the older students have a "buddy". Sometimes, 4th and 5th graders kind of mentor K and 1st in my area.
Often times with special needs classes, they have students of different grades in one classroom because they do not have enough special needs teachers to separate them. It's that way here in Oregon too. Most school budgets do not allow for a lot of special needs teachers 😐
@@analyticalmind4493 Could be before or after care on the school site, this is very common and all the kids are together, k-5th.
It sounds like they were in the cafeteria, but that raises the question of lunch schedules.
And no student has a one on one educator with them during lunch. Usually there are only 1 adult to 50 students in lunch supervision. I wirked in a school. This is not the fault of the aide but the way the school handled lunch. One time the school I worked at there was one person watching about 120 students (4 classes). I don't think that is safe.
That other kid needs to be expelled and NEVER allowed back on school property again! Special Needs is no excuse or justification, PERIOD!!
Prob is kids ain't accountable.. teachers are to blame also. I bet it was little Mohammed which made the father 10x more angry 😮
your strategic use of caps is erotic
@@rbrtpongoexcuses. If someone is violent regardless of their mental capacity they do not deserve to be around people who can not defend themselves. Thats like saying a pedophile has every right to teach middle school because its "a mental illness" that they cant control.
@@rbrtpongoExactly, Special Needs kids like those with Autism don't know what's going on around them.
@@rbrtpongo sorry, quit using special needs as an excuse to be a POS. If they are violent, then they should not be with other children.
Lawsuit!! A 10 yo has been in the news lately, who isn't with us anymore bc of bullying, I understand the culprit is special needs, but it's unacceptable. School needs to be held accountable.
The rights of the Special Needs Children should not be paramount over other Students.. safety. How many Teachers have not only been attacked but horribly injured by out of control Students who are sometimes extremely large and aggressive...a boatload. They should be in an entirely different learning Facility. Where is common sense?
Tired of hearing about 'special needs' kids. If your kid can't behave in an acceptable manner, then your kid doesn't need to be in school with other kids.
@shAnn0n1 this is predominantly the fault of the special needs student's family, not entirely the school. I have a special needs child, you have to get special needs children in programs outside of school and/or get them on the proper medication they need. I cannot tell you how many times I was called up to the school cuz my child was being overly aggressive. But once they figured out what worked for my child, any problems were "fixed" and I stopped getting called to the school every day.
It's unfortunate the school had to have students from such drastically different ages as kindergarten and 4th grade in the same classroom. Thankfully, my child's school was able to have any special needs students in a special education classroom with similar age & grade students, not kindergarten and 4th grade co-mingling in the same classroom... THAT part is the fault the school. But special needs students have to have the school and the family WORKING TOGETHER to manage and optimize their schooling, so both parties are at fault in this situation.
@@sandraconnelly7507 You lost me with the last sentence: "Where is common sense?"
It left our schools a loooooong time ago, and is even worse under the O'Biden administration with boys in skirts allowed to rape girls.
The “mainstreaming” of special needs kids, when the issue is dangerous out of control behavior, should not be allowed. Ever.
Why is a 4th grade student in the same area as a kindergartener? That's a disaster waiting to happen.
Most schools I went to were from Kindergarten to 6th. So not sure where you got your logic on that point.

Why was a special needs 4th grader in the same room with a kindergartner? I volunteered extensively when my kids were in elementary school. The only place multiple grades were was in cafeteria during lunch at separate tables and then NO kindergarteners. I feel so bad for the little guy having experienced this trauma. Staff has some explaining to do.
Right? Special needs or not, this is clearly wrong. They should never be in the same room during school hours.
Kids like this should not be in that school. Every time a school takes a child with behavior problems, they get more money for their school. Why are kindergarten and 4th graders even together.
That is what i want to know
If it was my kid they would be spending on a lawsuit and lawyers

Exactly!!! Why are they together 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Missing teeth? Someone needs to be arrested, or a child needs to be expelled / moved to another school.

Should file assault charges. Attacker should not be allowed around vulnerable kids
A 10 year old killed himself from bullying. There needs to be a stricter law
I’m always completely CRUSHED when children, CHILDREN, are afraid of school and no longer want to attend. School is supposed to be a safe place for all kids. I’m so sick and tired of schools proclaiming they’re anti-bullying and it’s unacceptable. Well then why does it continue to happen?!!
Better question is….. WHY is the VICTIM always the one punished??!!
Kids can be very cruel to each, bullying has Always been a problem, it just used to be handled very very differently both at school and at home. When I was a kid if I got in trouble at school, I got into worse trouble when I got home, but if I was being bullied and I beat up the bully, I wasn't the one thrown out. Too many parents today just do not parent, we see it everywhere from the kids running around a grocery store tearing things off displays, stealing to running up and down airplane aisles while the "parents" ignore it and act like/say their child does nothing wrong. I blame society for allowing CPS to have too much interference in parenting as well as parents shoving a phone or tablet at their child and telling them "go play and don't bother me". Children want attention and discipline, if they get constantly ignored or pushed aside they develop behavioral problems, this has been known for decades. Don't have babies if you don't like children.
It's not just children.. When my 6 yr old started to cry and wet the bed at the thought of going to school I was baffled.. One morning I was driving him to school and his sobs got louder the closer we got.. So I pulled over and told him that I didn't care it we stayed there all day I wasn't moving the car.. He slowly told me that his teacher would scream at him if he was to slow to finish his work.. My child is dyslexic and needed that little bit more time than others.. So I took him home to this grandma for the day and I went to the school.. Saw the principle they said he was such a good boy that he must be mistaken about the teacher yelling at him.. So instead of waiting for him in the car when school was over I went and stood outside his class room.. Other mums told me that she was always yelling at my son.. Video recorder on I stood there waiting sure enough she because screeching at my little man because there were pencils on the floor near his desk (not his) she called him mental stupid lazy etc... I burst through the door like a mad woman told her to back up and told my boy to come with me we were leaving even though school still had 10 minutes left.. I marched to the principals office recording in hand.. She was fired that week as apparently other parents had witnessed what she was doing to my son.. Took me ages to get his confidence back ip to where he loved going to school again.. I encourage all parents to once in a while go stand outside your child's classroom to see for yourself what's going on in class.. Any school that doesn't allow this has something to hide..
@@leslieschott754 It's often the straight A teacher's pet doing the bullying
It’s great when kids learn they can’t count on public schools or educators for anything except to victimize them. He learned this one early.
Always take your child to the emergency room. That starts a paper trail that cannot be disputed. We hope the little guys injuries heal quickly. This is why so many parents are done with the bs and have gone back to homeschooling. And why was a 3rd grader in the same area as a kindergarten er?
If the laceration was glued shut then it's pretty safe to believe he was taken to the hospital. Most schools can't afford to have a full time nurse on school grounds anymore.
agree!!! report it as abuse 100%
"special needs"
Conduct Disorder and ODD doesn't count as special needs.
They do, they require additional educational and behavioral support. Therefore they have “special needs.”
Right?! This crap where thier IEP says violence is a manifestation of their "special need" therefore they don't get punished, is bullsh*t. Even teachers and paras are getting beat up and nothing is done. And they're not helping the behavior disorder kid by teaching them there are no consequences for their actions. They call it the Special-Ed to Prison Pipeline because 76% of them end up there.
Exactly!!!
ODD is often comorbid with autism spectrum and other special needs. Would you prefer they have no care?
@@tonyhoffman3309if they are that agressive , or are likely to act out , then they shouldnt be on the same premise as other children, especially young children like this.
Thats just common sense. They should have a separate location.
This has been an issue that has never been taken seriously. Im almost 50yrs old... and it was bad when i was in kindergarten. Poor little guy. Happy Birthday buddy.
That's not an accident and that should've never happened.
I hate how "special needs" is somehow an excuse for violence these days.
Always
True and how mental health is an excuse for all crimes committed these days.
Also skin colour.
Who is excusing the behavior? Plus, where did you get the full story? From the video the reporter nor the father could explained what actually had happen. The father of the injured child literally said that he didn’t see the video of the incident. The school responded that they are not releasing any information because there are legal actions pending. Let’s calm down before picking up the torches.
As a former special needs student and a brother of a special needs student who used to be violent with me, there is no excuse for use to be violent with other students unless violence was done repeatedly to use. The aid is the most at fault here for losing control of her charge, but if the kid could get this violent, that kid should never have been around other kids
I have a 5yr old and I can totally understand how this man feels
OMG, 5 years old? Special needs or not, this would make my blood boil!!!! That baby should have been protected.
Well both children should be protected. We don’t know what truly happen apart from one child being injured. Let’s wait for the full story before getting our “blood boil!!!!” Believe or not the little guy will one day forget this had ever happen to him, till his father shows him the video. the special needs kid has more obstacles then the injured party and may never experience the joy of the simple things that we all take for granted. Not trying to ignore what 4th grader did, but unlike you, I do need more information before getting my “blood boil.”
@@2112jpNo, I don’t think we can say for certainty that he will forget. I still remember when I was assaulted as a child by another child when I was 4. They bit my arm up so badly that I had to leave the school for the day. The other child had no repercussions.
@@2112jpnah you’re out of line. Stop making excuses for the violent kid that did this. You’re sick in the head.

@MoonDog991 yes, that's what he would have to do. I have a special needs child, I used to get called up to the school almost every day. Special needs students require the school and the parents WORKING TOGETHER to optimize their education.
I understand special needs students need an education too, but when they have the potential to be violent, they have no business in a classroom. Special needs educators can only monitor so many students at one time.
More and more people are going to start taking a law into their own hands. I guarantee you.
Plus, not many people realize that the educators are NOT allowed to do anything - you can't hold the child, touch him, be strict with him, do anything! So very often you have a spoiled or sped child ( or both at the same time) running around the school turning over trash cans, breaking things, ruining plants, and 5 adults (aid, teacher, counselor, psychologist, and a principal) dancing around him not even able to do anything except for begging and offering stars and stickers to the student if he calms down. Blame the school politics!@@Missy-Missy1111

They are mixed together at lunch, before care and after care quite frequently, kinder-5th, with just a few aides to supervise a very large amount of students.
@@carolynw3602 Not in the schools in my area. Lunches are separated by grade levels, maybe K - 1, 2 - 3, 4 -5. Before and after school care, may be different. In any case, the child with special needs should have been supervised properly. If he needs a one on one aide, then the school will have to pay for it.
@@carolynw3602 yes but usually special needs kids dont have their lunch with the other kid.

Ok, I need everyone in the comments to breathe for a second, this child was injured and that's terrible, but I cannot abide by this crucifixion of every single adult in the school that seems to be happening here, they did not provide any context for what happened in the incident, why was the child left alone? Were the adults just neglectful or were they dealing with another issue? What is.the classroom size the children were in (it's hard for even 2 adults to manage a crowd of 35 children vs a group of 10) there are a lot of questions and no answers, but I want people to take a breathe, I have been injured way worse in elementary school and to no fault of anyone who was watching me, it is right to be angry about this, a bad thing happened, but please temper the anger until any actually damning information has been released, we can't just blame educators for every bad thing that happens to kids at school because even well supervised kids can get into fights, break their arm on the monkey bars, or have a pencil fly into their eye (a real thing that happened on accident when I was in elementary school)
@@happycamper1372 most of my friends are teachers in public schools. One has had to retire because he was attacked so badly by a student he is permanently damaged. I feel sorry for the good teachers, but enough is enough.
It can happen anywhere.
@@galois022 Thank you, someone with common sense. Bad things happen to kids in school all the time, adults can't be everywhere at every moment, no matter what the staff ratio. My mother was a teacher and kid punched her an broke her hand. I was strangled in elementary school on the way in from recess by a regular ed but troubled student. Everyone I know has been hit or punched in elementary school; it happens because kids are kids. I don't like it but it's just a fact.
What if parents can't homeschool? In America, it's federal law that all children need an education!!! With the child with special needs, an IEP/504 meeting needs to be held to get this student under control.
This is disgusting
Horrible to have that poor child assaulted. That child even though special needs. He needs to be removed and placed in an appropriate situation where he is monitored.
A lot of people that have babies have no idea what a parent is. These kids just learn from a early age what violence is😡
It’s time we as taxpayers that don’t have children in public schools to stop paying school taxes!
This is going viral nationally so the district needs to release the video immediately. Press charges.
You want to press charges against a 10-year old who likely doesn't know right from wrong? Nice.
@suen5006 10yr old children know right from wrong and the child should be charged for attempted murder and tried as a adult.
@@suen5006 The majority of people on this thread seem to have zero experience or concept of special education and special needs children, especially those with behavioral issues. They certainly don't know much about special ed. law and propose pressing charges on a 10 year old, or putting special needs kids in separate schools. That's how it was 60+ years ago.
@@kristinab1078No, people are suggesting that violent students should be separated. Special needs or not. Do not twist words.
@@ghoultooth The original commenter on this specific thread said to press charges. Several commenters on other threads said that the student should either be expelled permanently or be placed in a different building. This is what I was referring directly to. Violent students who are in special education are almost always separated and educated within a resource room, usually away from other children.
I don’t understand how students and teachers “not affiliated with the district” are even doing in the school. The school needs to be held accountable for this!!
In my school district's case, usually doing standardized testing, including kids who are normally home schooled and on a few occasions another high school would bus their students to ours because some moron built their school on a flood plane and if they didn't get busses over when they did they'd be stuck at school for an intermediate amount of time.
Five-year-olds with 9-10 yr-olds who are unpredictable and violent. What could go wrong?
"We are apologetic" is a pretty cold way to describe their reaction to what happened to that little boy. What is wrong with those people?
I am a student in this school and no kid has to be like this i get bullied in school i fight back but this kid is in KINDERGARTEN! Its so stupid my school is like this i hope the problem stops in my school
Go to the police, don't wait for the school to act. It IS the child's fault, if he is 10 or over, he should be arrested and prosecuted for assault through the juvenile system. Being special needs is not a license to commit crimes.
I get what your saying but you should also understand that sometimes a child that has special needs (autism spectrum disorder for instance) takes A LOT longer to learn to properly communicate. If they're nonverbal it takes even longer. This could either be a kid that learning that "hitting is wrong" or it could be a kid with such severe disabilities that prevented him from properly being able to express emotions such as anger, frustration or sheer sensory overload. In situations like this the only true remedy is a fully isolated classroom environment and a COMPETENT teaching staff. Though I do agree that sometimes getting law enforcement involved or even the threat of getting law enforcement involved is the only thing that will bring real change.
@@nicoleharris4192 If the child is a risk for inappropriate behavior, they shouldn't be around other kids. He can learn about attacking people where the other kids can slam him into a table or do his studying alone.
Some special needs children act in unpredictable ways. We don't know much about the 10 year old. We don't know if he had been violent before. If he doesn't know right from wrong he could never be prosecuted for assault.
@@nicoleharris4192I don't care. If the kid is that violent, he will be charged.
@@nicoleharris4192 I'm so glad that people like you don't organize public life because no kid would ever be any kind of safe from crazy "disabled" people.
Stop calling it bullying and start charging parents for assault
There are children with real developmental and behavioral conditions. Not parents fault.
You’re so ignorant.
@@HPCsma The school needs a separate building for special needs students.
@@kateparent366 Housing special education children in a different building and away from normally functioning children is against special ed. law. That's how it was 50+ years ago. Things have changed. It's likely this child does go to a resource room within the same building and he has an aid as noted.
@@HPCsma People on here have no idea about special education or how needy some children truly can be.
A fourth grade student is a lot bigger than a kindergarten student! That is why kindergarten students are kept separate from older students! The school was negligent!
Sue the hell out of the School District !
The school should pay, at a minimum, every penny of the 5 year old's medical bills.
Fun fact: public schools are the only place where most people will ever experience violence in their lives.
Ummm, says someone who has never taught, subbed for a teacher, or worked as a Para teacher.
@@Evogurl-gf4ne I stated a statistical fact not a personal opinion lol
Except lesbians. More than 2/3rds of all lesbian couples experience domestic violence. They actually have the highest rate out of all domestic partnerships.
Happens far too much.. teachers say he had a little bump today and was checked over. Disgrace..
that is a hell of a lot worse than a “little bump”
@@boosqueezy2418 we all know that but teachers downgrade it as so not to escalate it.
get your kids out of public schools.
How about address the real issues, instead of abandoning any hope for an education.
I mean, I guarantee you’re not qualified to teach math or science.
And stop paying taxes that fund them!!!
So you put ya child in catholic or private school , and they get beat up then what ? You gonna sue them too ? 😂 how about you teach ya kid how to be tough like our parents did , to fight back ! Stop wanting to sue everybody, stop going on the internet looking for people to pacify you and your child .
I never came home crying to my parents , do you know how many fights I had please if I would had ever come home crying ma they hit me she would have whooped me. My mother didn't play that nonsense she used to tell me you are boy soon to be a MAN if I wanted a girl I could of had one !
Get the police involved. CPS. That’s abuse by negligence.
Why are 4th grade special kids anywhere near younger kids? Why is the school hiding behind non accountability?
Slammed into the table, by accident? Suuure. 😑Go to the Police and press charges.
Thank you for protecting your son and taking him out of that school. I’m praying for your little one.
Kids going through this. And never being allowed to have their own childhood.
While the adults just brush off the abuse. Like it's nothing.
"While the adults just brush off the abuse. Like it's nothing." ...or like it inconveniences them.
That's what's up...
This isn’t new. In 1997 my non-verbal, 9 yr. old developmentally disabled child was attacked by an extremely aggressive student who was not being watched by the aide who was assigned ONLY to that student. The aggressive student bit my child through his denim jeans so hard he drew blood. No one from the school called me, the bus driver who dropped him off at his after school program said nothing and his caregivers called me immediately when they took him to the restroom. We didn’t have video cameras in the classroom back then and I couldn’t afford an attorney, but the next morning I raised holy you know what and threatened to sue if they school didn’t find an immediate solution. If someone is hired to watch ONE STUDENT, there are no excuses. I hope this little guy recovers from his mental and physical trauma. God bless him and his family.
Wow what a horrible incident. I hope the father takes them to court. Pure neglect and incompetence from school staff
The "No Child Left Behind" program probably needs to be revisited.
Smartest comment of all.
@@gracietilert8952how so? No child left behind means that even if your child is failing they will still be allowed to move up a grade it doesn’t mean they’re held behind this isn’t a 10 year old being held back with 5 year olds
No child left behind act has zero to do with this video.
@@gracietilert8952 you have no idea what you're talking about.
NCLB is not exactly what you think it is
No picture of the attacker??
Why not? Afraid to offend a certain group?
you KNOW it
Get your kids out of the public schools. Keep your kids safe.
Exactly, there are other options, it's worth the expense and extra efforts to keep your child safe as possible, the public schools are imploding.
Why are they wishing for a speedy recovery--so he can go back and have his face thrown back into a table?
Like, at this point, you have to just pack-it-up and realize that you cannot have a school because you are not able to protect your students and provide the education necessary simultaneously. It is absolutely unacceptable for a child to not be able to receive protection from their staff and teachers while at school.
Has the bully been expelled? Has the adult who failed to control the bully been fired? Is the district going to cover all the victim's medical expenses?
I would sue the school district
Hire a pitbull lawyer!
Oh, dad did!
You are right. Get the most obnoxious lawyer and sue the principal out right then the school district that allows 5 year olds in contact with KINDERGARTNERS.
Im horrified . Our society is disinagrating in front of us . Wtf . Why were these kids together ? Special needs kids who act out need to be supervised properly . Im the grand of one , he's fast and strong and physically uncontrollable . He's super agle and can wrestle and adult woman to the ground quicky .
Because of an inclusion rule which is horribly detrimental
I hate my school
@@Darkmagerblx- I'm so sorry what school is now for this generation of kids. There have always been some fights and bullying but nothing like what occurs now. Please hang in there life will be better, even if you don't see it until you have graduated. I know kids don't like to hear this, but what you learn and can accomplish in your school years will let you choose the life you want to live. My granddaughter has done both public school and a national home school program before covid, she preferred the home program. Now her high school is in a stem school and she likes that it is full of kids who just want to learn. You may have choices. Try to research, then talk to adults about what you want and need.
@@VB-lc4xz that inclusion rule is very important, BUT if the child is violent (like in this video), then it would be best for the special needs kid to be homeschooled.
i would sue the school into next millennium!!! This is beyond unacceptable!!!
How can a fourt grader have access to a kindergartener.
Age need to be separated
Something seriously wrong with the other child
Yes, that's why they referred to him as special needs.
Inclusion of special needs students in classrooms and in public schools in general has been the worst idea anyone could have made for children.
School excuses
As a parent of a child in a special needs program within an elementary similar to that of the 4th grader in the story, I find it HIGHLY upsetting and unacceptable that the 4th grader and kindergartener were even in the same space to allow for this to happen. These programs typically work in tandem with the school and protocols are set in place to create balance for a safe and nurturing environment. Even within the special needs program, the younger students are kept separate from the older students. If the child exhibits extreme behavior, the kid would be assigned to the school within the district assigned for special needs kids that need more focused attention. It seems that the school AND the program were sloppy with their program structure and the appropriate protocols were not set in place. I really hope the father gets the justice he rightly deserve for that poor baby. 😢
They need to pay this family financially. Unacceptable!!!
If this 4th grader is already this violent at this age I think they need to look at this very closely. How will he be as a teenager? What about when he is a full grown man? Can you control him then? Special needs or not this behavior needs to be addressed now.
Do not return.to that school! Every child needs to be safe!.This inner scar will stay with him the rest of his life!
If That Special Need Student is That Violent, He Shouldn't Be at That School!! I Feel So Bad for that little boy!! He Probably has Nightmares About the Attack!! I'm Glad Parents Are Suing and they're NOT Sending him to That School No More!! Schools seem like Jails Now!! So Much Violence!! 😨😱😞😢😭💔🖤🤔😝
Sue the school. Sue the attacker's parents.
Please! Make arrangements to have your son home schooled because things will only get worse from now on. Our schools are not safe and parents put their children at risk ever single day in the public school system. My son was bullied and attacked in elementary school, as well as middle school and nothing was done to stop the abuse. He was finally viciously attacked in high school. Parents, don’t let your children go through the day in and day out bullying and abuse that goes on in public schools. Do whatever it takes to protect your children and get them out of this deplorable environment.
So many children get labeled "special needs, " when really they're just being raised with no discipline. I'd be suing multiple entities. Homeschool your children. It only gets worse from there in the public schools.
The amount of horror stories I hear about homeschooled kids leads me to believe that it is not any better.
@@SisuTheShattered I'm not sure what you mean by horror stories, but if you're talking about the ones of abuse that make the news, those are in actuality few and far between.
@@stephtaglianetti Kind of. I'd instead like to point out how parents today with kids in public school who do not discipline or parent their kids, and then putting them in charge of the kids education. It would be a new wave of horror. The amount of helicopter parents who blindly take their kid's side.
This I believe. Just bad kids enabled bu the parents with no rules discipline or consequences snd they call them special needs
@@SisuTheShattered Oh, I see what you're saying now. Agreed. However, until our current public school system is completely torn down and rebuilt from scratch, parents like those of that poor kindergartner should homeschool or find a small, private school. The second problem is how parents are raising, or not raising, their children in present society. Making the American public school system is only half of the solution.I know the particular school district from this news story. It wasn't good 15 yrs. ago. I can only imagine how much worse it has become.
Health with a similar situation - my daughter was being bullied in 5th grade, when I went to the school they did an ‘investigation‘ and turned up nothing - however my daughter also went from a outgoing girl to a withdrawn kid - who know homeschools because she is to scare to go to school
Same happened to my daughter. We homeschool as well.
No ever wants to be held accountable. It's always someone's fault. The system is a joke.
Special needs is NOT an excuse. The parents of that child should be held accountable.
As a parent of a young son with autism and adhd, you can do everything right and they will still do things you have taught them not to do. Parents aren’t always to blame for everything a child chooses to do. They literally have a disorder that affects their cognitive function and decision making skills. My life is already hard and stressful enough having to deal with his behaviors, then even harder because strangers just assume he’s just a bratty kid and we must be terrible parents. People who don’t have special needs truly just don’t understand and I wish they could spend a day in my shoes. Also Not all of us can afford to just stay home with them. Schools also need to have better sped programs and classrooms where kids like this who can get violent have someone with them at all times.
WTF, horrible!!! That school sucks, there is no reason that dangerous 4 to grader should be around other children, much less a 5 year old!
