Cobb County student with autism charged with felony

[@jenniferbogacki2699]

They arrest him but they don't do nothing about bullies torturing others both physically and mentally. Talk about messed up priorities.

[@LadyLithias]

This is a disingenuous comparison. I get tired of this type of comparison. Did they arrive at the school, and have two crimes, but the capability of dealing with only one? And did they then choose the only one where there might be a threat of lethal action against multiple people? In that case I wouldn't blame the cops. But it sounds to me like what you are saying is that because "bullying" in general isn't punished, it's wrong for them to follow up on this case? I'm not defending what the cops did or did not do. But your comparison is nonsensical. That would be the same as seeing a cop writing up a parking ticket the day after someone shot into an apartment building and killed a child, and then people say "They can give parking tickets but they can't murderers so they have bad priorities." I guess if, in my hypothetical situation, if the town has ONE cop, and that ONE cop is handing out parking tickets the day after a major crime instead of investigating, then sure, that would be misplaced priorities. But to accuse them of being flawed just because there are other crimes at other times that may or may not be investigated.... that seems peculiar. There are many crimes that should be investigated and the offenders tried and punished. I learned at a young age that "life ain't fair" and that bad guys will get away with crimes.

@FULL BLOWN AIDS what happens when good kids who try to like everyone and just trying to be themselves while trying to get an education get tortured by cowards. Then they get bullied by the adults who should be protecting them by being told to shake hands with their bullies and that they didn't mean to hurt you. All the while these same adults lie to the victims parents by saying it was just a misunderstanding. And if a teacher does speak up they are fired or moved to a new school. Blame the victims sure... please tell that to the parents of kids who committed suicide because they didn't feel like anyone could protect them. Tell that to those who spent their whole lives feeling that they couldn't be themselves and had to be like everyone else. So three words for you...be kind always.

A BIP is called a Behavior intervention plan. In connection with the BIP plan there had to have data warranting the behavior. Hence the BIP. Also in ABA Applied behavior analyzing. ABC’s. Within the address a behavior we are trying to minimize we pay attention to the area or space the behavior occurred. The letter A stands for antecedent, this describes what’s going on prior to behavior. The B stands for behavior, note, behavior is measured by rate or speed, object used. For example, hard cover book towards someone. Or slamming a book bag on the floor. And the Letter C is for consequence. As a result to everting happening. Did behavior improve with intervention? To be clear there is a lot to explain with a couple of paragraphs. However if someone can let the young man’s mom or news know can give them resources.! There are a few variables to be considered. An IEP, a prompting hierarchy and crisis communication and more!

I have a child who in 1st grade repeated a line from Cat and the Hat "I'll get you and I'll make it look like a bloody accident".

While not in this video, it would not at all surprise me if the child's older brother -- who introduced him to the game -- was the one who quietly was disciplined by this family. They don't want any of their kids stigmatized, so I doubt they'd say that the brother broke the house rules. It's so easy to judge when one sees less than a 1% slice into a family's life. But just like I won't judge the strangers commenting on this thread, I won't judge this family either. If the child frequently repeats what he's heard you can't control his entire world. Instead you accept his quirks, and you make sure that those in his orbit know of those quirks and excuse them through selective questioning. It's not the first time that disparate policies have ended up in a fist-fight. It's not a simple scenario, but it is important that folks are allowed to focus in on the needs of every child as a unique human with strengths and weaknesses.

Schools need more money and supports (specifically trained professionals) to help the growing number of mental health, developmental, and academic issues more and more students are coming to school with. Obviously this case has gotten out of hand and once this issue occurred it should have been easily resolved by having a conversation with the parents and the student about appropriate language and what he should and shouldn't be watching / playing / repeating. There's no reason it made it to the realm of court. BUT parents also need to be more helpful and responsible. Knowing his issues he shouldn't have had access to those types of games. The facts are schools are responsible for a lot of children. The likelihood of this boy acting on anything he said is slim but if he did and it was discovered the school didn't do anything about it imagine the sh*t storm then. People always want schools to do more and be more proactive about violence, bullying, etc etc but they rarely give practical ways to go about it and when students are punished a lot of times there's an outcry about the overreaction or the classic "they're just kids" excuse. Again in this instance the child doesn't have the mental capacity to even be held accountable for this and other actions should have been taken but I think it's a gross oversimplification to say schools are lazy and need more training. More training is always great but who's paying for that? Who is capping class sizes so you can actually give attention to specific needs of students. At the moment you can have a class of 30 plus students with half of them on some kind of IEP or behavioural / safety plan. More and more responsibility keeps being dumped on teachers and schools. Their job is supposed to be to educate but somehow they're expected to be psychologists, social workers, nurses, and parents as well.

They are just cruel and want to send him to prison. That solves nothing bc he was scripting bc of his autism. He needs better therapy, not prison! I’ve heard of other teachers not following protocols with mentally disabled children, often times making their issues worse and causing more problems. They simply don’t want to deal with “difficult” children. Some have been caught via video and tape recorders. It’s so pathetic and cruel. I don’t know how someone that can abuse any child, let alone a disabled one, can sleep at night. It’s very disturbing.

@@bobroberts2371 okay but this is a special needs person, how do you expect this guy to be a productive member of society with a felony? he'll never get life experience or a job, he's just a future bum, there needs to be another way than just a felony.

Maybe the parents should limit the type of video games he plays. They can't know what he may think is OK to repeat. It isn't his fault in my opinion.

My son had done the same! They MUST follow protocol. This is so effed up. Autism is a real challenge for everyone. Noone knows what parents go through.
