A Florida student beat a teacher's aid unconcious. Hit her at least 15 time, pushed to the ground where she fell unconcious. Was upset she took away a Nintendo game switch. When on the ground he also kicked her.
Of course it matters. If you go to any school for developmentally disabled people, they’ll tell you what a dangerous job it is. I saw a woman suddenly freak out and start throwing things and trying to hit people while working in a sheltered workshop when I was an OT student. We had lectures on how to get out of it if you’re being choked from the front, from the back, etc.
We have a long time poster here CoChristie, who has a huge autistic teen who regularly beats her up and they have special protocols in his school to deal with his violence. It is not something he can control, he’s low functioning.
It sounds like this kid shouldn’t have been in public school but Special Services district.
This 6'7" 220 pound child is a violent menace. I hope the system and his parents take this very seriously and see to it that he gets whatever help he needs while he's incarcerated.
The article states that he is a special needs student.
If he is disabled he'll probably be treated as such. It used to be in some school district special needs and problem students wound up being put into the same special program. If he has a diagnosis is one thing but especially in the past those programs wound up being dumping ground for students they couldn't handle or know what to do with. Hopefully things are different now.

That poor teacher, there are no words.
If he's 6'7" he's WELL over 220lbs. He'd be rail thin at that weight. Looking at the pic, I was thinking 320.
But.. As for what happens.. Depends on what the "Special Needs" are. again. This is where the PC crowd has changed the definitions of everything so we don't know what the issue is here.
Is he just mildly retarded? Is he simple? Schizo? Emotionally disturbed? A moron?
We had so many words that are now politically incorrect that described exactly what you were dealing with.
Anyway you look at it.. This part..
Quote:
Deputies said as they walked the teen past the unconscious victim, the teen spit on her and threatened to come back and kill her. Parents said they are shocked.
In other words. This wasn't a momentary lapse of control.
He needs to be out of that school. He needs to be in a controlled environment. If you want to say he didn't know any better. Fine. Put him somewhere he can't hurt people until he knows better.
If he's non-'disturbed' enough to know right from wrong. That can be prison.
If not.. Then a secure facility for 'Special Needs' people that can teach him right from wrong.

Did you see the video I saw???? He KNEW what he did was wrong and that's why he said he didn't want to go to jail. Give me a break here.
And I'm aware of CoChristie. That's her decision to allow that to happen to herself. It doesn't have to be that way
Considering this kid's size, strength, and violent tendencies, at some point he's going to have a run-in with police. And it's probably not going to end well for him.
