A judge in Virginia has ruled that a teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student in class can press forward with a $40 million lawsuit.
Wtf are the kid’s parents doing? Like, how does a 6 year old smuggle a loaded weapon out of the house? And why would they even have that in the house? (I know it’s in the US, that last question was more of a rethorical one.)
From what I remember about this case the mother had terrible gun safety (obviously) and the child was mirroring terrible behaviors he’d seen from the father. The father has been accused of aiming a gun at an extra [ex]girlfriend and attempting to choke out another.
The only good outcome in this case.
I am curious how the involved kid turns out years later, but I feel that answer is already known.
That’s the most American sentence ever.
The school shirked it’s responsibilities. They will be paying, not the kid.
If American schools are supposed to stop school shootings they will be at it all day.
That 6 yr old is gonna have to work a lot of jobs to pay back that 40 mil, hell of a grindset they worked out
I just read the article, she’s suing the school because she claims administrators ignored reports the kid had a gun as well as a history of “troubling behavior”
You don’t think that maybe the suit is against the school or the district
I would say parents/guardian 1st, as it’s unlikely the 6yr obtained the firearm themselves.
