Even if you can’t charge them, that 6 year old is still TRASH. and the question remains what to do with a 6 year old attempted murderer. That kid should NOT be allowed in society!
Because 6 yr. old are fully formed moral beings, right? I’m sure you were a perfect child.
@Anastasia BeaverhausenYet, some think that a 6 year old can choose their gender.
@ronjohnson9032 no, literally no people don’t.
Your comment is funny for me since you focus on a 6 year old, instead on a 6 year old get a gun in his fingers in the first place, but you make me feel good to never beeing born in the US, i can observe it and have my fun with people like you where think more and lore and more guns brings peace, and i know already your first thought “how dare other countrys to live in more peace from gun crimes, without handing them out to anything (but that makes it just funnier for me, and i wish for my entertainment there will be someday a uncensored livestream of all (it would me saving the time of switching several sites between and i could just prepare snacks and can laugh over it with a ocean between))
@Anastasia Beaverhausen He shot someone
…Thank you for your videos mate, you know most people think that investing in crypto is all about holding till it rises, come on, it takes time and is a gamble on the long run, this recent dip and slight pump should be a lesson to people who hold blindly. Working with Mrs Naik Amelie, she made me believe that when you hold, you stand the chance of losing it all too unexpected dips. So rather than simply holding, I trade crypto under her expertise.. We need more experts like Her, who educate people on the evolution of the market so people avoid common mistakes. so they don’t walk out of the market feeling frustrated! Keep up the great work! Raised over 11.8 BTC when I started at 1.5 BTC in just few weeks implementing Mrs Naik Amelie daily trading and tips.

Hey, a friend actually introduced me to this exact tele gram channel recently and with it I have really been able to get better in trading bitcoin.
On our United nation calendars pride day was on June 4
And military appreciation month was last month…
That is what real gun laws are about. Not to grab guns from law abiding citizens.
Democrats wanted Gun Laws well here we go 🙂
What people are arguing for is universal background checks, so this woman would never have been allowed to have a gun.
If you don’t have a criminal record, or a history of drug abuse, or domestic violence, then you should have no concerns about gun control.
SMH they want someone to pay even if it was out of their control. I understand the teacher did deserve to get shot and I have compassion but charging the mother doesn’t sit well with me.
@Despozble Hero Yeah right it hasn’t happened to you yet and this doesn’t make her complicit in the crime. Nothings full proof so humble yourself.
@wardatkins1320 no, just no.
Also fool proof*
Why shouldn’t the mother be charged? She endangered the safety of her child and other children and her lack of safety ended up getting an adult shot. She broke the law and someone was almost killed because of it.
It’s her fault, so yes, she deserves to go to jail. She knew her son had issues, she shouldn’t have even had a gun around him, let alone leave it where he could get it. What if he had killed himself with it or another child or if the teacher he shot had died?
@Katt Stop acting like something like this can’t happen to you! Hypocrite!!! There’s no law on the books to justify this it’s a witch hunt to many instances where parents weren’t charged before so why her ? Oh I know why she doesn’t have good attorney.
Oops I meant to say the teacher didn’t deserve to get shot ” my bag ” for the type o .
TWO of the dumbest things NEWSCASTERS say:
1) “Breaking” news. 2) “What we know.”
If ALL “news” is “breaking”, then NO news is “breaking.” it is JUST “NEWS.”
SO CALL IT “NEWS.” Doesn’t ANYONE have the guts to quit with the, “BREAKING.”
“What we know….” Gimmie a break! You know NOTHING.
Just say, “it appears that…….” OR, “we have been told that……” GET REAL!
And while we are on the subject: CUT THE COMMENTARY. Just report FACTS.
PS: Drop the “actively……”, as in “actively” investigating. It adds NOTHING. It’s stupid.
PPS: Ditto for “TOP” headlines. NO SUCH THING. Just “headlines” if you don’t mind.
That’s new 😂
This is how it should be!! All guardians/parents should be charged with any and all crimes their child commits under the age of 18.
💯
Agreed 👍
Hate crime
That is still crazy. To be a teacher of first graders and one of your first grade students shoots you in class. What would you do? Try to disarm the boy while he is shooting at you? Duck and run?
I would tell him “that’s not niece little Johnny” and give him a time out to think about his actions. That seems to work.
Thro. Both. Of. Scum. In jail. Plus. That. Bratty. Should. Be. Banned. From. School
What about Hunter ?
Who Will supervise the thug if she’s jailed, where’s Daddy in prison again?
Good, as a gun owner myself, they should be safely stored.
I have three sons and I, personally, refuse to even have a firearm in my house until they are grown and gone.
What’s this got to do with Pride Year?
what took so long??? #45 You are about to be INDITED AGAIN! 🤣😂😅
100% for thet mother.
That kid though has a history of violent and bad behavior. That kid shouldnt be allowed to attend public school ever again. He should be forced into state care and staye hospital school. Where professionals are equiped to deal with that kid.
Yep and she definitely should never have had a gun laying around for him to gain access to, knowing he wasn’t mentally stable.
Good!!!
GOOD!
So they charge the mom and what happens to the child?
Straight to Foster care so now the taxpayers get billed for the moms prison stay and foot the bill for 15 years of foster care
You would rather her just get a stern talking to?
This child needs to be in a mental health facility anyway, given his history and her lack of judgement. For the safety of the general public, he definitely doesn’t belong back living with her.
@Katt a mental health facility and foster care are 2 very different things
@undrwatropium I’m aware, which is why I said what I said.
How is it just a misdemeanor leaving a firearm in reach of a child? Harsher penalties will make people put and keep that stuff away safely.
The child did get ahold of the weapon therefore it was, obviously, NOT “secured” no matter how much mom lies about it. If the child is that devious then she should have known by now that she needed to have eyes on him at all times. Lock up the gun. Put a lock on the gun. Lock up the ammo. Wear the key around your neck, and keep it on even when you are in the bathroom, or in the shower. If she didn’t make the attempt to do any of that–charge her to the fullest extent the law allows. Adhere to the gun laws that are on the books.
That’s the thing, she knew her child had mental health issues, she shouldn’t have had a gun anywhere around him. Let alone leave it where he could get it like that.
She’s being charged with lying on a gun form. Hunter Biden did the EXACT SAME THING and is not charged.
Great Job !!
People should Absolutely be Held responsible for what happens with ( Their Guns )…..If they can’t keep control over something as important as a Fire Arm … They should go to jail….
? Should Hunter Biden be charged with federal gun charges.
Pretty quick move by the feds well Hunter WHITE gets special treatment.
Grumpy
Old
People

Why 6 months? Like, why so long…
This is not same lady
I think so too.
Don’t Republicans want to arm students and teachers? Who is it that bragged about her granddaughter having a rifle?
Start charging these school shooter parents too. We should retro all the past cases and hand out charges too.
Good!
Today a 3 y.o. in a car shot him/her self and died.
Floridastan or Texasistan ?
Where at please? ☺️
Finally!!!
Time to do the same with all the parents of all the underage gangbangers terrorizin the country
She can fight it on constitutional grounds like hunter biden.
Good, put her in the big house.
Then all thease homless people that are drug users shouldnt jave guns ethier or gangs but they do so how does that play out
Do you honestly think they got theirs legally? 🤔
GOOD
LONG OVERDUE
The mother should be sued in civil court also. This so called mother is a monster!!!
The Brat is a LITTLE MONSTER who WILL grow up to be a Future MURDERER/ SERIAL KILLER.
This was his SECOND attempt at Murdering one of his teachers.
No JOKE.
what money do you think you are going to get from a druggie? 😆
@Auden Harper If she were to lose, any future wages would be garnished until the settlement is paid in full.
@Vickiego that is if she’s a functioning druggie. If she’s on Tranq she aint got a job.
Absolutely appropriate. Gun safety is the responsibility of the gun owner. Fortunately, no one died…this time!
COMMUNISTS LEADERS COMING TO NEWYORK TOMORROW 😂
This is where we are now. What kind of country lets this kind of thing happen?! A six year old can’t shoot a teacher without an honest responsible gun owner being charged.
Good!
Ask any teacher and they will tell you they have children in their school and even in a classroom just like this parent. Most teachers are all for parental rights and parents have always had rights but now there’s this big push so even when the school district wants to get their child help like this parent, she refused. At one point do we trust the professional educators? Has anyone ever connected this story and stories like this invite just leaving the profession? And why people are not going into education programs?.
Over the last 5 to 7 years, there has been a huge uptick in disruptions, disrespect, chronic miss behavior, and even violence toward other students and teachers and children like this are continuously put back in the classroom with zero consequences, because “the children need an education, so I need to be in the classroom, no matter what “.
You may not have heard much about this because most teachers are afraid to get in trouble and don’t speak up. Being a teacher is like being in abusive, codependent relationship and of course this is the extreme version but this is happening all across the country.
that took way too long.
I thought America doesn’t WANT sensible gun laws interfering with their 2a rights!!!
I hope thaty kid gets put in a foster home. I hope his foster parents are mean to him. That kid sexually assualted a female peer in his class, nothing was done. He had brought a gun before, nothing was done. Finally he ended up shooting his teacher but no consequences for him huh? Kid should lose everything, that will straight him up real quick. He should learn actions have consequences. No consequences is BS!
Shooting Teacher Abby was the LITTLE MONSTER’S SECOND attempt at killing one of his teachers.
He tried to choke one of his OTHER teachers to DEATH in the recent past.
LOCK 🔐 his PsychoAss Up for the NEXT 99+ YEARS !
That kid has obviously been severely abused. That’s not even remotely normal behavior for a small child. 6 years old is little more than a toddler.
Wow great job teaching children how to do your bidding for life… This sucks people really doing horrible things for basically no reason… 🤦♂️
Kid was probably protecting themself from a groomer teacher.
Awesome reporting nbc, very coherent and wonderfully spoken by your employees and schills…
Makes sense to me.
Pathetic
About time.
that man reporter was suppose to know the latest–
but SHE did in the last seconds
So, the Mom has been charged, but no one asks the question as to “WHY” a 6 yr old or first grader would target this teacher. Did she abuse him? Why her? Why is Mom being investigated and not teacher. He, in his child mind, and with a harsher sentence when we don’t know lf he was erasing a threat.
What is wrong with you?! 🤦
6 year old and mother should both face charges and be convicted. He knew what he was doing was bad and wrong.
That was the LITTLE MONSTER’S Second attempt at Murdering one of his teachers.
He WILL grow up to be a Future MURDERER/SERIAL KILLER.
Lock🔐 his PsychoAss Up for at least 99+ YEARS.
Now lets do this fkr any kid unde 18 . Charge the irresponsible parent ans the kid
Great! Now let’s go back in time and also charge the Parents of those 2 Columbine killers and so many more.
The Little MONSTER SHOULD be tried as an ADULT.
THAT was his SECOND ( Read : 2nd) time attempting to MURDER one of his teachers.
In the PREVIOUS attempt , he snuck up behind one of his teachers who was working at her desk. He then jumped up ; wrapped the hook of his elbow around her neck; locked his arms ; and HANGED his entire body weight down in his FEROCIOUS attempt to STRANGLE his teacher to DEATH ☠️💀. Another teacher who heard the commotion was able to pry the LITTLE MONSTER off of the choking teacher in the nick of time.
There is NO Doubt whatsoever that THAT Little MONSTER will grow up to be a Future MURDERER/SERIAL KILLER.
He needs to be LOCKED 🔐 UP for the Next 99+ YEARS.
If NOT, there WILL be a NEXT time; and it could be one of YOUR family members.
That child needs some serious inpatient help. Who knows what that kid has been though.
Danny Cevallos shouldn’t be showing pictures of his daughters in the background.
And she should but don’t let it stop with her go after all the parents
Oh I see they only going after her because she was a drug user so to them she a throw away
Should be charged with attempted murder, too.
You can’t charge the parent for the child shooting the teacher. The child has a 2nd amendment right to have a gun, even if he was 6 yrs old. The child in 11 yrs younger than Kyle Rittenhouse, tell me what is different here?
Sounds like ” backpage” kind of stuff. Who holds those dark secrets? A million unanswered questions to keep you up all night. A sense of psychological manipulation & emotional extortion targeted at this specific community, I know I’ll breath easier when my youngest is home from LSU. Then, it could be A.I. making these cases go viral to learn our reaction to those situations. Or maybe we are part of a control group in a scientific experiment. I don’t know what’s up but it’s kinda crazy.
They CAN NOT go after the gun charge or it will set legal precedent. This happens too often to hold parents accountable when their kids gain access to an unsecured handgun. The cops used to say “haven’t they suffered enough” when they wouldn’t press charges after a 4 year old kills a sibling or parent. It happens ALL THE TIME.
sending Thoughts and Prayers in advance to everyone lives in a G.un In.fested country …
its only a matter of when gonna be your turn …
Not mother’s fault, if had prayer in school would not have happened.
Well I guess being as you hasn’t show their picture yet we all know that it doesn’t fit your narrative of what’s wrong with America today
Their picture means nothing however you are right. Fact is a large chunk of firearm owners in the US do not secure their firearm. Meaning making this about the problem would mean they have to accept the fact that a large chunk of adult Americans don’t take securing of their firearm seriously. The NRA and most gun owners wouldn’t like that.
If kids can decide their own gender, why can’t they own guns?
This lady has been on TV, why? Why wasn’t she arrested IMMEDIATELY locally???!! This is egregious that there seems to be double standards!
Mother should face charges, sure. However, the SON should never ever be allowed to possess any firearms or weapons FOR LIFE
lock her for a very long time
Spit it out!
Sounds like fair game to me.
Could you have made that beginning segment any more confusing? That was just excruciating to listen to. Figure out what you’re going to say before starting to announce ‘breaking news’; please.
Big question: What IS the legal age a child *can* possess a gun?
this happened a long time ago. what took so long?
why no picture of the pig?
BLACK WOMEN feds lock her up
WHITE MAN aka Hunter Biden still no charges after 6 years.
Joe Biden keeping white Supremacy alive in well.
Man, you guys change the laws at will. Remember Kyle’s mother bought him a gun and transported him to commit a crime, and weed is legal in Virginia.
We indians are really concern about gun violations in USA 📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢
