Speaker 1 (00:06):
This is the Everyday Podcast for the Everyday People.
Guys, welcome back to anotherepisode of RED.
It's the Everyday Podcast forthe Everyday People.
Now, as you guys know, lastepisode we were introduced to
the month of May as MentalHealth Awareness Month, and

(00:27):
we're so happy to report thatthe findings in connection with
how people are getting supportthroughout this month has been
quite, quite encouraging.
Last week, we focused on whatmental health is and what it
isn't, but now, in thisparticular episode, we're going
to dive into how you can takesteps to deal with mental health

(00:50):
and, for those of you who havefamily members, relatives,
friends, et cetera, who aregoing through mental health
difficulties, how you cansupport them during their
ongoing need.
Although people believe thatprayer is a form of therapy and
that it's something that canhelp you to cope with
circumstances on a therapeuticlevel, we're going to focus on

(01:11):
how prayer can be able to helpyou deal with mental health
challenges.
One particular thought comesfrom a very, very, very, very
encouraging thought.
It's found in 1 Peter 5, verse7.
There it tells us that when wethrow all of our anxiety on God,
we receive a peace thatliberates all thinking, because

(01:32):
he genuinely cares for us.
What does that mean For peopletoday?
They feel as though prayer isnot going to be able to assist
them or help them in connectionwith their mental challenges.
Some people believe that it's aform of therapy in which no one
is listening.
However, we're helped tounderstand something
particularly different.

(01:53):
It goes to reason that for somepeople, prayer has been a
powerful help in connection withsupporting them during trials
and times of difficulty.
So here are some things to keepin mind in connection with your
personal prayers and how youdecide to handle your heavy
emotions.
Remember this that no problemthat you are experiencing is too

(02:16):
big or too small to pray about.
So if it matters to you, thenit's something that you can put
into prayer.
For some people, in order tocope with the challenges of life
and connection with theirmental health, they decide to
record a prayer journal.
This allows them to meditate ontheir feelings, put them into
an enclosed space or a privateplace, rather, so that they can

(02:39):
be able to find comfort shouldthey decide to express these
thoughts at a later time.
You see, when we struggle withour mental health, one of the
things that really comes tofruition is that we may feel as
though we are alone.
We may feel as though no oneunderstands our struggle, and
it's true.
It's not reasonable to concludethat every person that you may

(03:03):
have in your family or yourfriend's circle is going to
understand the struggles thatyou're going through, regarding
whatever your mental healthcircumstance may be.
For those persons who may havethoughts of ending their life or
persons who are dealing withsevere anxiety, it's going to be
difficult for you to express tofamily members and friends how

(03:24):
you are feeling and how they canbe able to understand your
emotions.
But when you take theseemotions, you channel them in a
private place and you make it aneffort to pray, even if you
don't believe anyone's listening, you will find a source of
comfort.
You see, when we sincerely tellGod in prayer how we feel about

(03:46):
certain things, we find asympathetic and understanding
listener.
Now, for those of you who don'tbelieve in God, we're not going
to push this thought.
But for those of you who do,you recognize and understand
that prayer is a powerfulmotivator in connection with
coping with mental health, hereis a powerful motivator in
connection with coping withmental health challenges.

(04:06):
God knows your pain, heunderstands your struggles and
he wants you to throw thatburden and anxiety on him.
You can receive comfortthroughout the most difficult of
trials, and it really can be ofbenefit.
Here is a real life experienceof someone named Julian, who

(04:27):
expresses how prayer assistedhim in coping with his anxiety.
He says I struggle with anxietyand obsessive-compulsive
disorder or OCD.
Anxiety affects me at seeminglyrandom times.
One moment I am fine, in thenext I feel extremely anxious,
for no apparent reason.
I especially become anxiouswhen I am around other people.

(04:49):
I am intensely concerned withwhat they think of me.
Here's what he says is his help.
I have learned from studying theBible that prayer does not need
to be lengthy or eloquent to beacceptable to God.
That prayer does not need to belengthy or eloquent to be
acceptable to God.
Sometimes, when I cannot put myfeelings into words, I simply
pray please help me.

(05:10):
Even then, I feel a sense ofunderstanding and a response in
that exact moment.
In addition to prayer, I havesought medical therapy.
I am happy to say that, thanksto both of these sources of help
, my condition is much improved.
It is absolutely worth theeffort to reach out to my

(05:32):
Heavenly Father and experienceHis loving support.
True, no one can be forced toseek help for mental challenges
that are causing themdiscouragement.
But here we recommend that ifyou are going through mental
challenges and it's reasonableto believe that many of us are
going to have mental struggles,based on the time stream of life

(05:54):
that we live in and all thethings that are negative
surrounding us, it's going to bemore of a reality than not.
So seek an opportunity to findencouragement and strength as
you deal with circumstances thatmay cause anxiety, depressions
and feelings of negativity.
Well, guys, that was our themein connection with this episode

(06:16):
how to cope with mental healthissues and how to support those
in your family who may be goingthrough such circumstances.
Now this following story.
This week we have a lineup ofstories, again as always, that
will leave you guys a bitflabbergasted.
These are some gruesome andintense stories and I have to

(06:37):
warn you that for some personsthese stories could be
unsettling.
Norwalk High School softballcoach accused of touching
students arrested.
A softball coach at NorwalkHigh School is accused of
inappropriate behavior andtouching students on school
grounds, and police havearrested him.
Police said their investigationstarted on April the 1st and

(07:01):
they obtained an arrest warrantfor 70-year-old Carrie Nadel of
Wilton.
He has been charged with fourcounts of sexual assault in the
fourth degree and one count ofrisk of injury to a minor.
Norwalk Public Schools said ina statement that they concide
personal matters to beconfidential.

(07:22):
They said Nadel was put onunpaid administrative leave from
his part-time seasonal positionon April 1st, before the season
began.
Nadel turned himself in at apolice headquarters on Thursday.
His bond was set at $100,000and he is due in court on May
23rd.
Police are asking anyone whohas additional information to

(07:46):
call Special Victims Unit,detective English at
203-854-3043, or you can emailthem at penglish at norwalkctgov
.
Now this is one of the thingsthat really comes up into my

(08:06):
mind.
Right, this individual thatwe're dealing with in this story
is a softball coach.
He's a male.
Now, as a school bus driver,I've been doing trips this month
of May transporting thesoftball team to their games and
etc.
And one of the questions I'vealways asked myself is why is it
that a softball coach forfemales minor females is often a

(08:27):
male?
Now, some people may feel asthough that's a bit sexist and
discriminatory, and I'm going tosay you're right.
There are certain things thatwe as humans have to do to
protect ourselves, even if itmay seem as though it's going to
be on the negative side of thefence Now that this coach has
been noted for touching theseyoung girls.
It's going to be on thenegative side of the fence Now
that this coach has been notedfor touching these young girls.

(08:48):
There's going to be a switchchange.
There's going to be a need toput someone in this position
that is not going to be a threatto these girls, to the victims
involved in this story.
We do hope that you're going tohave a well recovery and that
we encourage you to find comfortand support from your friends
and family during this ordeal.
In this following story we aredealing with I don't want to say

(09:13):
stupidity, but we're dealingwith a case of circumstances
that develop in school all thetime, but this one is just.
I guess you would say it went abit too far.
Plainville middle school studenttaken to hospital and will face
charges after laptop catchesfire.
A Plainville Middle Schoolstudent who caused a laptop to

(09:33):
catch fire at school was takento the hospital to be treated
for smoke inhalation and willface criminal charges.
According to school officials,firefighter and police officers
responded to the middle schoolof Plainville around 10.15 am
Thursday after reports that alaptop caught fire in a
classroom, according to thesuperintendent of schools.

(09:55):
Superintendent Brian Reyes ofPlainville Community Schools
said an investigation revealedthat a student intentionally
stuck scissors into a laptop,causing smoke to emit from it.
The student complained of smokeinhalation and was taken to the
hospital for treatment.
No one else reported beinginjured.

(10:17):
Reyes said the investigation isongoing and the student
involved will be referred tojuvenile court to face criminal
charges.
The school was evacuated afterthe fire alarm went off and was
back in session in less than anhour, according to the
superintendent.
Now this was reported thatseveral Connecticut schools have

(10:37):
been evacuated in recent daysbecause of the concerning trend
on TikTok, in which students arerecording themselves sticking
items like pencils and springsinto the charging ports of their
Chromebooks to set them on fire.
And now we know why kids inAmerica tend to not get
equipment in school.
I don't know why someone wouldthink it's a brilliant idea to

(11:01):
stick something into a laptop tocause damage to the school
equipment, but it just seemsthat children today are
impressionable.
Whatever their friends aredoing, they'll do it, and social
media has really pushed thisdemographic further than ever
before.
Our following story.
We are expressing concern forthis young girl here in

(11:24):
Janesville.
A Janesville middle schoolstudent hit by vehicle while
riding bike.
School district says AJanesville middle school student
is recovering after being hitby a vehicle while riding a
bicycle to school Friday morning.
The school district ofJanesville confirmed.
The district explained theMarshall Middle School student

(11:45):
was hit around 7.20 am whileriding near the intersection of
Rutledge Avenue and PontiacDrive in Janesville.
The student continued riding toschool and contacted school
staff members.
The student was taken to amedical facility to be checked
out and the student's family wasnotified.
Medical facility to be checkedout and the student's family was

(12:09):
notified.
Wmtv 15 News has reached out toJanesville Police Department
about the incident but has notheard of any follow-up.
Well, we are going to hope andpray that this student is okay.
It seems that this year therehas been a lot of incidences
regarding vehicles, students,bicycles in the show this year
and I will tell you guys thatone of the things that you can

(12:30):
do obviously you can't preventall accidents from happening,
but strive to be a little bitmore aware on your bikes.
I'm not saying that this younggirl was not aware, but what I'm
saying is the people around youare occupied with other things.
People driving their cars aredoing everything else but
driving, and so we're hopingthat this girl is going to be
fine as she takes steps in herroad to recovery.

(12:52):
Now we're transitioning back tothe TikTok challenge, the
challenge of sticking items intoyour Chromebook and hoping that
it explodes.
Media is on these stories.
These are stories that's cometo my desk and they're trying to
prevent these things fromspiraling out of control,
although I'm not sure as to whatthey're going to do.

(13:13):
Southern middle school evacuatedafter student attempts social
media laptop fire challenge.
Now the last story took placein another location.
Now we're in Kentucky.
A Lexington middle school wasevacuated on Thursday after a
student attempted the socialmedia laptop fire challenge, a
trend that encourages studentsto short out their school-issued

(13:35):
device and potentially catchfire.
In a letter to parents,southern Middle School principal
, kevin Payne, said that thebuilding was evacuated out of an
abundance of caution and waslater cleared by the Lexington
Fire Department.
Payne said that the nationaltrend disrupted the classroom
learning environment for some ofour eighth grade students and

(13:56):
staff and, as a result, havebeen learning in alternative
locations within the buildinglocations within the building.
Parents are encouraged to speakwith their children about the
serious offense and reinforcethat this behavior is criminal
and not acceptable at school.
Students can report informationanonymously through the
school's stop tip line on theirwebsite, and parents can reach

(14:19):
out to Payne directly withquestions or concerns.
I'm telling you, as a schoolbus driver in New Jersey, you're
better off asking the studentsto stop and then threatening
them, because today, parentsdon't really think that it's
acceptable to discipline orcounsel their kids in these
certain matters.
Some parents are on this kickwhere they think that their
children should be allowed to docertain things because of the

(14:43):
joy that it brings them.
Or here's my favorite all oftheir friends are doing it.
Well, the reality is this Ifanything goes down in connection
with this TikTok trend andthese laptops and someone gets
seriously hurt, your childrenare the ones that's going to pay
the price.
Parents, be diligent, vigilantand strive your best to
encourage your children to besmart, versus encouraging your

(15:05):
children to make decisions thatare unwise.
In this following story, we'regoing to talk a little bit more
about how children making unwisedecisions can cost someone
dearly.
Pittsburgh area.
High school student had part ofear bitten off during fight.
High school student had part ofear bitten off during fight.

(15:27):
A Washington County mother saidpart of her son's ear was
bitten off during a fight withanother student at Ringgold High
School.
The fight between the twostudents occurred in the
bathroom of the high school,with each of the boy's parents
speaking out in defense of theirchild.
Each parent accuses the otherstudent of bullying their child,
the.
Though the school has remainedmum on the specifics of the

(15:51):
fight, here's what each parentis saying.
The mom said the school failedher son.
The mother of the boy who hadpart of his ear bitten off said
she warned school leadersnumerous times about her child
being bullied on their watch.
Then her worst nightmarehappened.
The mother said she got a callfrom the high school telling her

(16:12):
that her son had part of hisear bitten off.
Her son's ongoing struggle withthis alleged bully came to a
boiling point earlier this monthwhen the two boys ran into each
other in the school's bathroom.
She said a fight broke out andended violently when her son got
the top of his right ear bittenoff.

(16:34):
Despite the severity of theincident, she said the attacker
is back in school after a 10-daysuspension.
She said the punishment doesn'tfit the crime.
Now the other student's parentis stating this.
It's the other way around.
His son was only defendinghimself.
Both parties agree that thebeef between the two boys began

(16:56):
sometime last summer, but wherethey differ is which one
couldn't let the grudge go.
When asked why his son bit theboy's ear, he said that he had
no other choice.
Since the incident, the fathersaid he and his family have been
continually harassed.
The Ringgold School Districtsaid it does not comment on

(17:18):
student disciplinary matters,but in a statement to KDA it
said that it is committed tomaintaining a safe and
supportive learning environmentfor all students.
Well, that's very genericreasoning and response from the
school, but the reality is aschool cannot stop a student
from biting the ear off, or apiece of the ear off of another

(17:40):
student.
The reality is that schools canonly maintain and protect
students from violence to thevery best of their abilities.
One of the things that I find tobe of interest yesterday I was
on my school bus and there was akid, and obviously I can't give
the kid's name because theseare real experiences.
Long story short, there's a kidin the back of my bus and

(18:01):
there's a kid in the front of mybus.
The kid in the back of my busis known to be quick and very
fast with the fist, so he tellsthe other student not to say
things about his mother.
The student in the front of thebus continues to provoke the
child in the back.
Now, before I continue, wecannot go by the admonition
stakes and stones break my bones.

(18:21):
But blah, blah, blah, becausethe reality is we're living in a
different time.
Before I could even get out ofmy seat, the student in the
front of my bus said somethingabout the student's mother In
the back.
He leaps over the seat and hebegins to punch the student in
the chest and I had to discernas to when I could jump in and
separate them, because if I gothit it would have been a problem

(18:43):
.
So I jump in, I separate thestudents and I encourage the
student in the front of my busto be careful what he says,
because when you say things topeople today, you are most
likely provoking that person totake action.
We're hoping that the studentwho got his ear a piece of his
ear bitten off is going to beable to get the assistance that

(19:05):
he needs, because this is, orcould be, a very traumatic
circumstance.
Now, in this next story.
I know that many of us aregetting ready for senior pranks.
It's mid-May.
We're excited, we're pumped up,we're ready to go, go, go.
But the seriousness of thisprank I don't even know what the
thought was here, but clearlyit wasn't a thought completed.

(19:27):
A student uses Bic razors insenior prank at Broken Arrow
High School.
Broken Arrow Public Schoolssays at least one student is
facing disciplinary actionfollowing a senior prank.
Fox 23 reached out to BrokenArrow Public Schools Chief
Communications Officer, taraThompson After hearing a rumor a

(19:47):
student brought razor blades toschool as a prank.
Thompson said B big, disposablerazors were dispersed in the
courtyard of the high school anda stairwell in one of the
buildings, but none were placedin classrooms.
The razors were taken from aspecial education classroom
overnight that focuses onteaching the students personal

(20:07):
hygiene tasks.
Thompson said the schoolidentified the student
responsible and is taking actionand disciplining them.
Short story, small details.
But man, oh man, oh man.
What in the world was thisstudent thinking?
You know, I thought seniorpranks was supposed to be on the
harmless side, but when youintroduce razor blades and real

(20:30):
weapons to the mix, you're in athin line of a prank.
You know what I mean You'reliterally crossing that line
from prank to dangerous ordanger or hazard to the building
.
I don't know as to what they'regoing to do with this student,
but hopefully for thoseonlookers it's a lesson that
your actions do haveconsequences.
Guys, please be smart.

(20:52):
If you're going to get involvedin senior pranks, remember
they're supposed to be fun,encouraging, and it's supposed
to be something that the schoolwill never forget.
Well, I guess I'm using thatterm very loosely.
It should be something goodthat the school will never
forget, really something for theunderclassmen, the juniors that
are going to be graduating thefollowing year.
You're kind of leaving them alegacy to follow.

(21:17):
But man, oh man.
Earlier this year in the show wetalked about a very, very
tragic circumstance.
A young man named CarmeloAnthony stabbed a student to
death at a track meet.
Well, now there are updates inconnection with this murder
charge that he's facing and ifhe's going to graduate, what
kind of emotions it's stirringup.

(21:38):
Frisco track meet stabbingsuspect.
Carmelo Anthony set to graduatefrom high school.
Family rep says Carmelo Anthony, the teen accused of stabbing
another teen at a track meet inFrisco last month, is set to
graduate from high school andreceive his diploma.
An advocacy group representinghis family says Anthony will not

(22:01):
walk on the stage.
According to Frisco ISD,anthony, a 17-year-old student
at Frisco Centennial High School, was arrested and charged with
murder for fatally stabbingFrisco Memorial High School
student-athlete, austinMcAuliffe on April 2nd at the
University IntergalacticLeague's District 11 5A

(22:23):
Championship Track Meet at theKukindel Stadium.
He's since been released fromjail and placed under house
arrest after his bond wasreduced from $1 million to
$250,000.
The advocacy group NextGeneration Action Network, which

(22:44):
previously organized a pressconference on behalf of the
Anthony family, says thatAnthony is set to graduate and
receive his diploma without theneed to attend school for the
final month and a half of theacademic year, after completing
the necessary credits and afterhis family reached an agreement
with Frisco ISD, but will notparticipate in any senior

(23:04):
graduation activities.
According to a press release,other outlets have falsely
reported that Anthony would walkthe stage on graduation day.
So beware of those updates,guys.
As a result of Anthony's charges, many people have been giving

(23:25):
he and his family a rough time.
In his story he argues that hewas defending himself from this
student.
He goes into his backpack, hepulls out a weapon and he goes
straight into this student'sheart?
We don't know because weweren't there, but there are a
few questions that people areasking about this particular
story.
One in particular who carriessuch a weapon with them to a

(23:49):
track meet?
The other question why did heaim for this person's heart?
Tragically, the victim died inthe arms of his twin brother.
And again, although this storywas covered on the show earlier
this year, I do just want toexpress my condolences again,
because I know for the familiesthat this is a heavy story and

(24:10):
there are people out there everyday losing family members to
death because of another humanbeing's poor choices or because
of another human being'sinstability.
Now, true, some may argue thisto be self-defense or whatever
the case is, but it never, everis a valid reason to take
someone's life.
The altercation was quick, itwas fast and in that brief

(24:32):
moment, a family has lost acherished loved one.
Very, very tragic, it's justtragic.
You know, you try to be a goodperson and you try to live in
this world and you try to doyour best, but the reality is
these things happen.
All we can do is continue tomove forward, pick up the pieces
and show genuine love to oneanother to help them get through

(24:55):
another day.
Now sometimes on the podcast wespotlight students who have gone
rogue.
Other times on the podcast wehighlight parents who have gone
rogue.
In this following story, guys,I will want to warn you that
this is by far the crazieststory I've featured on this show

(25:18):
.
Mom bought ammunition, tacticalgear for son's planned mass
violence at SAISD school.
Sapd says the mother of an SAISSA ISD middle school student
allegedly brought ammunition,magazines and tactical gear for
her son, who had expressed adesire to carry out acts of mass

(25:42):
violence at Jeremiah RhodesMiddle School.
According to SAPD, ashleyPardell, 33, was arrested on
Monday on charges of aiding incommission of terrorism.
Court records show she boughtthe items with knowledge that
they would be used to plan andcarry out a crime.
On Monday the student showed upto Rhodes Middle School campus

(26:04):
wearing a mask, camouflagejacket and tactical pants, but
left shortly after.
Police said Investigators andschool officials did not know
where the student was for aperiod of time.
The affidavit states the schooladded extra security and police
officers and swept the campusfor potential devices.
The student was later found offcampus and charged with

(26:26):
terrorism.
According to school officials,who sent parents a letter on
Monday, the student appeared injuvenile court on Tuesday and
has another hearing scheduledfor later this month, indicating
that he most likely remains incustody.
Sources told KSAT On Sunday, aday before, a family member
contacted SAPD about items foundin the possession of Pardo's

(26:49):
son, including a rifle andpistol, ammunition, black
tactical gear and an improvisedexplosive device made from a
mortar-style firework.
The family member also statedthey found three loaded
magazines and a note that hadseveral names of mass shooters
written on it.

(27:10):
Some of the items wereinscribed with 14 words and SS
symbols, references to whitesupremacy, language and previous
mass shootings.
Detectives said Pardot hadpreviously been approached about
her son's behavior by local lawenforcement, child protective
services and school officials.
Police have added Pardotexpressed to the school her

(27:32):
support of her son's violentexpressions and drawings and
does not feel concerned for hisbehavior.
The affidavit said Pardot's sonwas suspended in April after it
was discovered he wasresearching the 2019
Christchurch mosque shooting ona school-issued computer.

(27:52):
He had described a fascinationwith past mass shooters.
The affidavit states thestudent attended an alternative
school until he remained orreturned to Jeremiah Rhodes
Middle School on May 8.
At that point, school officialsimplemented a safety plan in
fear of potential violence.
School officials implemented asafety plan in fear of potential

(28:14):
violence.
Pardo was issued a $75,000 bond, which she posted on Tuesday
and was released from BaxterCounty Jail.
Records show when a parent, aparent, sets their child up for
failure.
This is unfathomable.
I cannot believe, maybe I can'tbelieve it.

(28:34):
I've seen a lot of shows, a lotof stories on my show, and I'm
at a loss for words here.
Guys, how would you feelknowing that your son or
daughter is attending a schoolin which a parent of another
student supports violence,terrorism?

(28:55):
It's interesting because itreminds me of this movie called
Minority Report with Tom Cruise,and the concept behind the
movie is the police can projectif you're going to commit a
crime before you commit it andthey would arrest you based on
something you were going to docrime before you committed, and
they would arrest you based onsomething you were going to do.
But then the movie getscomplicated and it's the whole

(29:18):
free will.
And how do you know?
I was going to do it.
Maybe I was going to change mymind, or whatever the case is,
it's movies like that that makeme wonder about stories like
this.
If this student would have takenanother step without the proper
attention or notice, we'd belooking at another devastating
shooting in the United States.

(29:38):
It's very difficult to knowthat this is how people view
human life now.
They have no regard for humanlife.
We hope that the victims or thepersons going to this school
are at ease, but this isdefinitely something that should
be discussed and there shouldbe adequate comfort provided for

(30:00):
these persons.
Very, very scary close callregarding this student.
It's very, very, very, verydistressing times we're living
in.
In this following story we'retalking about a student that's
gone missing because of flashfloodings in Maryland Boy
missing.
Elementary schools in Marylandevacuated amid flooding.
A 12-year-old was reported tohave been swept away in Virginia

(30:24):
and rescuers in Maryland usedboats to help evacuate
elementary school students asheavy rains caused rivers to
flood in several states.
Tuesday In Virginia the firedepartment said it searched for
a 12-year-old boy who wasreported to have been seen swept
away by floodwaters.

(30:45):
The search was paused overnightover safety concerns, but was
due to resume Wednesday.
A person called 911 around 5.30pm Tuesday and reported that
the boy was swept away byrushing water that spilled from
a creek onto a roadway InAllegheny County, maryland.
Georges Creek Elementary Schooland Western Point Elementary

(31:07):
were evacuated and students at amiddle school were told to
shelter in place.
The Allengheny CountyDepartment of Emergency Services
said no injuries were reported.
Now, the flash floods inMaryland and Virginia occurred
as more than 17 million peoplewere under flood watches or
warnings, from SouthernPennsylvania and West Virginia

(31:27):
to North Carolina.
According to the NationalWeather Services, as of now,
there is no update in connectionwith this young man and if
there's going to be any type ofresources put out there to
ensure his safety.
But I can only imagine how theparents are feeling regarding
these circumstances.

(31:48):
It's unsettling.
It's unsettling when you don'tknow where your child is or
don't know what thecircumstances are.
Well, we hope that this youngman is found and we do want to
express our love for you guysdown there in Maryland and
Virginia.
These floods are really, really, really bad.
I've been dealing with kids formany years.

(32:10):
We get instructions.
One of the instructions is thatwe are never allowed to put our
hands on a student.
Some people follow theinstructions, some people have
their own way.
In the following story, noticehow this 71-year-old man decided

(32:32):
to take those instructions anduse his own personal discernment
.
Elementary school substituteteacher, 71, arrested for
throwing student in classroom.
St Cloud police say say A17-year-old substitute teacher

(32:54):
was arrested after St Cloudofficers said he grabbed a
student by the collar and threwhim into a classroom wall as
punishment, according to thepolice department.
In a news release, police saidthat the teacher, kazmor Shah of
Kissimmee, was working as along-term substitute at Neptune
Elementary School on April 29thwhen the incident occurred.
Investigators said that astudent reported that Shaw

(33:16):
approached his desk and grabbedthe front of his shirt with such
force that a button popped off.
The student further allegedthat, after dropping crayons on
the floor, shaw grabbed thecollar area of his shirt
physically, lifted him from hischair and walked him to the
corner of the classroom.
The student went to the schoolnurse, who observed marks on the

(33:38):
child's neck and notified theprincipal.
Police said photographs showedseveral small raised red marks
on the student.
Detectives interviewed Shaw,who reportedly admitted to
grabbing the student andacknowledged that he violated
school policy by doing so.
Osceola County Schoolsconfirmed to News 6 that Shaw,

(33:58):
who was hired in January 2023,is no longer employed by the
district.
Records also show that Shawpreviously announced his
candidacy for the Osceola CountySchool Board in 2021 via a
Facebook page His profile on theFoundation for Osceola
Education website listedinvolvement with multiple local

(34:21):
organizations, including acounty advisory board.
St Cloud Police said theycoordinated the investigation
with both the Osceola CountySchool District and the Florida
Department of Children andFamilies.
Shaw faces a charge of childabuse without great bodily harm.
Several times on this show Iencourage persons working with

(34:43):
children to be mindful of howthey allow their anger to get
the better of them.
Some of these comments arecalling this man Morgan Freeman
gone wild.
I can't support that, but whatI can say is I am concerned for
the student.
Let's just say that the childhas not been introduced to
spankings or pappings on thebottom at home, or his parents

(35:06):
deal with him in otherdisciplinary ways.
This is traumatizing.
It's traumatizing that yourfirst encounter with violence is
from an administrator, someonewho's supposed to love, protect
and guide students.
We're hoping that this youngman makes a well recovery as we
strive to catch updates for youguys.

(35:27):
Each and every single week thefollowing story deals with
misconduct.
It's happening more and morebetween teachers and students.
There's a blame game going onhere.
The reality I firmly believethat students should be paired

(35:47):
with teachers of the same sex.
I don't believe that studentsshould fraternize with teachers
of the same sex.
I don't believe that studentsshould fraternize with teachers
of the opposite sex, and if theyare in the classroom of a
teacher of the opposite sex,there should be someone with
them.
There should be.
There's this person thatcomments on my TikTok videos,
always want to be slick at themouth and she's saying, well,
it's district policy, that thisis every school.

(36:09):
No, it's absolutely not.
I've been working with theschool districts for many years
and if it is a policy in otherstates, it's definitely not here
in New Jersey.
