Restorative Justice | Laila Fakhoury | TEDxLSSC

[@kingkong905]

Restorative justice is powerful. I confronted 1 of my victims face to face and listened to her story long ago. She talked about how deeply I affected her, how alone she felt, how she suffered from the bad things people did to her, from people blaming her for being a victim, and treating her like an outcast. She basically said "I needed you.. you were my role model but you hurt me.." we were crying like babies. I felt so guilty over what I did that I asked her for forgiveness.

JESUS BLESS YOU, ISAIAH! I think I need to do this with some people I have hurt but they may not even talk to me. 😢 Pray for me to be able to bring healing to whoever GOD knows needs it through restorative justice. I know of 1 person I have in mind. Maybe 2, but pray for me, brother. ~Alefu. THANK YOU! JESUS LOVES YOU!! 🌹🙏🦋🌷🙌🤗 143!!!

I hope you "confronted her" for forgiveness with her consent? Confronting your victim without a safe environment and support is what most victims have nightmares about. It's not restorative. I hope this communication you had was sorted with a mediator or mentors to make it safe for her too. If not, that was very selfish.

Wow!! Utterly impressed! You are so young, but speak with so much intelligence & wisdom! Hearing your talk (though I did witness a preview of it at the FYLC Conference) was my first introduction to "restorative justice." Thank you for expanding my mind & educating me on this process that leads to a positive outcome. Socrates said, "the secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but building the new." I believe this talk is a great example of that. We must teach the children, as you said, how to deal with their emotions & conflicts in a constructive way, as opposed to battling them & adults with zero tolerance policies. Nevertheless, the world needs to practice restoration justice on ALL levels! 💯 ....Thank you for this talk.

8:56 Essentially, we are all a product of culture, society, and belonging. This is a complicated issue and restorative justice may not be the final answer, but it is an integral piece of the puzzle.

[@laithazzam5322]

Restorative Justice failed. It cannot did the pipeline. In fact, it was the law that said non violent crimes shouldn't be punished that stopped the pipeline and not restorative Justice. Take this to heart, that non violent crimes creates a buffer to hid Restorative Justice failure in the prison system. Restorative Justice doesn't stop the pipeline to prison Non violent crime law does. All yourself, how has crime been since this program was rolled out? I can tell you, it's accelerated. Non violent crimes have become out of control. Police are told not to put any effort into non violent crimes.

Laila, Amazing Talk =D

A binary argument. Someone forgot to mention rules and graduated consequence.

[@miguelcontreras1684]

I work at an inner city high school in South Los Angeles predominantly African American. The irreparable no consequence environment that these restorative justice measures have caused are beyond devastating. These PC policies have guaranteed that disruptive students make it impossible for minority kids to get an education. You outta be ashamed of yourself. Psychologist like you are never in the classroom dealing with the kids that make it impossible for others to learn.

[@GirlofNicky]

As I understand it, there needs to be consequences for bad behavior but after that, this is a wsy to turn them around. I think there needs to be rules and consequences in schools (l& everywhere else)but also an element of upbringing. I assume this dies not always work though.

[@kiya419]

Is she a teacher? Has she worked in a classroom with 30 5th graders? Sitting in a circle with kindergartener students doing an observation is BS. Work a whole school year in a 3, 4 or 5th grade class. Then talk about your experience with RJ in the classroom.

[@michelecarey4129]

I am a teacher and RJ works!!!

[@jamesmadrama8357]

You are a star,excellent presentation Laila.

[@daakrolb]

"Oh if we just talk like a bunch of blabbing girls everyone will be happy." DUHHHHHH

[@ForedeckYoda]

We must recognize that this farcical and ridiculous policy is yet another way for intellectually deficient and risk-averse school admins to NOT confront bad behavior and to NOT instill personal accountability. This speaker uses the rare uncommon outlier to justify policies that do not impact mainstream common behaviors. It is welfare for additional unneeded school staff, people not skilled enough to teach, but study useless psychology and other counseling issues and need a job- only too willing to be provided by educators that recognize more power in having more acolytes.. This movement seeks to remove the ESSENTIAL elements of parenting, and have them taken up by an uncaring bureaucracy. It is a policy than makes us feel good (by not condemning those with difficult situations), but is not good...and in fact is counterproductive. Restorative Justice is a massive waste of resources, and actually empowers disruptive students to ESCALATE violence! When those maladjusted kids do it to an armed LEO...BOOM!

[@aaronpenberthy107]

You are one of the biggest idiots I have ever met. I rarely judge people but the fact you are so backward and cant make a connection between emotion and behaviour is farcical. You do know what your brain is designed for and its neurological connection with emotion centres in the brain? Please rebuttle back at me so I can enlighten you. People need to start giving learning a try and stop pretending they know everything 🤣🤣

[@Conflict_Lab]

It seems that you have not read anything about the scientific evidence on the results of JR, I suggest you start reading some research before making these types of statements

[@user-wr9mr5hm9f]

Full of BS

[@renard801]

Oh per-lease! How very 'woke' American.
