The digital age has transformed how we share our lives, but at what cost? In this eye-opening exploration of online photo sharing, we uncover the hidden dangers lurking beneath seemingly innocent social media posts.
That perfect vacation photo might reveal more than you intended. Through compelling real-world examples, we examine how geo-tagged images create digital breadcrumbs that lead strangers right to your doorstep. One shocking case highlights thieves who used "cyber casing" – tracking social media to determine when homes were empty – resulting in over $100,000 in stolen goods from 18 different properties.
Beyond physical safety concerns, we dive into the psychological impact of constant sharing. The immediacy that makes posting so appealing also creates unhealthy patterns of digital dependency. As one young listener shared, "You can get to the point where you pull out your phone every spare second just to see what's new." We unpack this digital compulsion and offer practical strategies for healthier engagement.
The episode provides concrete safeguards anyone can implement: disabling geo-tagging features, carefully curating who can view your content, setting firm boundaries around browsing time, and being intentional about what details your photos reveal. These aren't just theoretical concepts – they're life-protecting practices in an increasingly connected world where digital and physical safety have become inseparable.
Throughout the discussion, we maintain a balanced perspective. This isn't about digital fearmongering or suggesting complete withdrawal from online sharing. Rather, it's about developing the discernment to enjoy the benefits of staying connected while protecting yourself and your loved ones from very real threats. Subscribe now to join this critical conversation and learn how to navigate the digital landscape with both confidence and caution.

This is the Everyday Podcast for the Everyday People.
Guys, welcome back to anotherepisode of RED.
It's the Everyday Podcast forthe Everyday People and, as
always, I'm just happy to behere with you guys.
This particular week wasdraining.
This was a long week.
This week really got on mynerves, and so it just got me to
(00:28):
thinking.
There's a lot of things thatyoung people are going through
today.
There's a lot of, let's justsay, pitfalls or things that can
be an obstacle in one's journeyas a young person.
So in this week's episode, Ithought that it would be
practical to give homage or givea shout out to online photo
sharing, the concerns, thedangers and really the
(00:51):
challenges that come with beingable to express someone's
interest or to be able to shareone's photo with individuals
online.
Now, before we get into ourdiscussion this particular week,
I just want to thank all of myfollowers and subscribers on
YouTube.
It seems that in the race forTikTok, we are going to be
moving forward toward the 2000range, and when I started this
(01:14):
show I did not, I didn't thinkthat that was possible, that
this podcast could be able tohave a following of that
magnitude, but I will say thatit's been a really it's been an
incredible journey thus farbeing able to meet so many
different people from so manydifferent backgrounds and being
able to help people through thisshow, and really being able to
(01:35):
help individuals to see thatwhen things are difficult in
life, there are practical waysthat you can be able to cope.
There are practical ways thatyou can be able to cope.
So our theme in connection withthis episode is what should I
know about online photo sharing?
Well, let's just say, forexample, you are having a great
vacation and you want to tellyour friends all about this
(01:57):
vacation.
What would you do?
Would you send each one apostcard, would you write them
an email or would you post thephotos online?
Well, when your grandparentswere your age, a was probably
the option send each one apostcard but when your parents
(02:20):
were your age, b may have been apossibility.
You know, write an email to allof your friends, but today, a
lot of young people who areallowed to post photos online
prefer option C.
Well, if you do, this theme isgoing to be able to help you to
analyze what the benefits are ofposting photos online, and it's
going to be able to also helpyou to see as to what dangers
there may be with online photosharing.
(02:43):
So let's talk about for a minutethe benefits with online photo
sharing.
So let's talk about for aminute the benefits.
The first benefit in connectionwith doing this is that it's
immediate.
When I've had an awesome tripor a great time with friends, I
can share photos of theexperience while I'm still
excited about it, excited aboutit.
Melanie, you may feel the waythat Melanie feels in connection
(03:03):
with photo sharing.
Some people do it because it'sconvenient.
Some people don't think aboutthe dangers or the risks that
are involved.
Here's another reason as to whyone may be moved to share
photos online.
It's convenient.
It's a lot easier to lookthrough photo updates that my
friends have posted than to usean email to find out what's
(03:25):
happening with them.
Says Jordan.
I can attest to that.
I'm all about conveniences.
I love being able to postsomething really quickly, get
that quick response and thenkeep that communication
constantly going.
Here's a third reason as to whypersons will share their photos
online.
It helps you to stay in touch.
Some of my friends and familylive far away.
(03:47):
If they post pictures often andI check often, it's as if I see
them every day, says Karen.
Although there are three ways inwhich you can benefit from
online photo sharing, there aredangers that young people need
to be conscious of.
One of the things that one ofthe girls on my school bus told
(04:07):
me is that persons prefer onlinephoto sharing because it's an
easy way to get to the next stepin a sexual way.
Well, what are the dangers?
We're going to consider just afew.
You can put your safety at riskIf your camera has geo-tagging.
Your posted pictures mightreveal more than you intend.
(04:30):
Posting photos and other mediatagged with exact geolocation on
the internet allows randompeople with the right tracking
software and wrong motives tofind an individual's location.
Reports the website digitaltrends.
There are stories that I've comeacross in which a person has
(04:51):
posted an online photo, and itcould be something simple, small
, you know, very innocent photo,and then, all of a sudden,
someone is at your door.
Now, why is that the case?
Well, these photos can belikened to small cookies and if
they're posted with suchfrequency and they have this
geo-tagging, it could lead thewrong persons into your
environment.
Now, I'm not saying that weshould boycott posting photos
(05:14):
online or that we should just bedrastic and just be recluses
when it comes to this form ofmedia share.
But caution can definitelyprevent hardship.
It says here that some criminalsare more concerned with where
you are not.
In one case reported by DigitalTrends, three burglars broke
(05:37):
into 18 homes while everyone wasout.
They went online and trackedthe movements of the residents a
technique called cyber casingand they made off with more than
$100,000 worth of goods.
So you can see the seriousnessof posting photos online and the
(05:58):
risk that are involved.
So I know, growing up, mymother was all about not sharing
our phone number with otherpeople.
She didn't want me to open thedoor for certain individuals and
as a child I thought, mom, youknow you're kind of tripping
that's insane, but I can see asto why.
We live in a world in whichpeople have ulterior motives and
if, given the opportunity,people will act on these harmful
(06:20):
desires and it could costsomeone their life or, in this
case, material possessions.
Here's another thought inconnection with the dangers of
online posting.
You can come across someoffensive content.
Some people have no shame inposting anything for the world
to see.
A teenager named Sarah says thetrouble comes when you browse
(06:40):
through the accounts of peopleyou don't know.
It's like walking through anunfamiliar city without a map
You're almost certain to end upin a place you didn't want to go
.
It can happen to any one of us.
Constantly on my school bus, Iwarn my students to protect
themselves from this danger.
I wouldn't want anything tohappen to them, and sometimes
(07:02):
parents are just not aware ofthe dangers that can come from
these convenient methods ofonline photo sharing or these
methods of social media, anotherone that some people may not
think is as important as therest.
Your time can slip away.
It's easy to get caught up inviewing the latest post and
reading everyone's comments,says a young woman named Yolanda
(07:26):
.
You can get to the point whereyou pull out your phone every
spare second just to see what'snew.
Well, if you have experiencedthis, or have trouble managing
your device, we discussed thattheme earlier in this season in
connection with how you can beable to take control over your
device, rather than your devicetaking control over you.
(07:46):
So here's some things that youcan do to protect yourself when
it comes to online photo sharing.
Some of these tips are practicalsteps.
Other of these tips areprinciples that you can apply to
be able to enhance yourjudgment from persons out there
that may want to do you harm.
Here's the first one Bedetermined to avoid
(08:07):
objectionable content.
A principle that I reallyappreciate and that I've lived
by throughout my years is I willnot set anything worthless
before my eyes.
This is what Stephen says.
I regularly check the post ofthose I'm following and I
unfollow them if I feel thattheir content is inappropriate.
(08:28):
Oftentimes young people don'trecognize and even some adults
that certain things that youshare online with people can
also invoke legal trouble.
When I cover these stories onthe show, as we're going to get
into right after this theme,you're going to see that some of
these crimes that people arecommitting are not in-person
crimes.
A lot of the crime that personsare dealing with today is
(08:48):
cybercrime.
It's crimes that are not donephysically, but they're done in
cyberspace, and now the law isbecoming much more up to date
with these different types ofcrimes.
Another principle that reallyhas helped other individuals to
deal with online photo sharingis to avoid contact with people
who do not share your values.
(09:10):
A principle that really goes along way is bad associations can
spoil, or bad associationscorrupt, good morals.
So if you're someone who'swalking in one direction and
your friend is not trying toback you up and they don't
support your moral standing inlife and they don't have your
back in certain ways, then it'sreally a waste of time.
(09:30):
The best of friendships arecultivated not based on your
material advantages, but youcultivate good friendships by
sharing those common values,those morals.
So if you are a person that hasa drive and you're trying to go
somewhere in life and yourfriends don't have that drive,
you're going to find yourselfoverwhelmed and tired out
because they're getting morefrom you than they're willing to
(09:50):
put in to the friendship.
One other thing that can reallybe of assistance when it comes
to online photo sharing issetting limits on how long
you're going to browse and howoften you will post photos.
There is a powerful principleor method that has helped so
many to be balanced when itcomes to what they post.
Keep strict, watch that how youwalk is not as unwise, but as
(10:15):
wise persons making the best useof your time.
So you can make sure that thephotos you post don't give the
impression that it's all aboutyou.
You can make sure that thephotos that you are posting is
not inviting harmful influenceinto your life and that you're
not putting yourself in apredicament in which someone
could take advantage of you,whether that be mentally,
(10:36):
emotionally, physically or evensexually in some cases.
This podcast is designed to beable to help individuals to cope
with the very real, traumaticand drastic circumstances going
on in life, and the sad thingabout it is it could start off
as something so innocent, butthe real reality is that even
(10:57):
though someone has goodintentions does not mean that
they have good qualities.
So, guys, that was our theme inconnection with this episode.
What should I know about onlinephoto sharing?
Be smart, be wise and becautious.
I'm not saying that, you know,it's the thought to be able to
(11:20):
bombard, or, I should say,boycott, online photo sharing,
but you want to make sure thatwhen you are posting things
online, you are making sure thatyou are being safe and careful,
and that really will definitelygo a long way.
In this following story, we'regoing to be able to examine the
tragedies that happened inconnection with a Newark
(11:42):
shooting.
Now, the interesting thingabout this particular story is
that I work the school rightacross the street from where
this incident took place.
New Jersey police officer killed, second officer wounded in
shooting by 14-year-old.
Authorities say A 14-year-oldshot and killed a police officer
and wounded another.
Friday evening in New Jersey,authorities said In a chaotic
(12:06):
scene that witnesses describedas seeing officers running down
a busy street before they hearda volley of a dozen or more
gunshots.
The slain officer, 26-year-oldJoseph Ascana, was part of a
Newark police intelligence teamthat had gone to capture a
suspect in an illegal weaponsinvestigation.
When the officer was fired onin his vehicle, authorities said
(12:29):
the officer who was struck washospitalized with injuries that
were not life-threatening.
Authorities added Newark MayorRaz Baraka called the shooting a
heinous, callous disregard forhumanity.
Police took five people intocustody, including the
14-year-old who was charged withmurder, attempted murder and
possession of illegal weapons.
(12:51):
Essex County ProsecutorTheodore N Stevens II told the
news conference the 14-year-oldwho was shot and hospitalized
with injuries that were notlife-threatening.
Stevens said Stevens did notidentify the boy or the other
four people in custody who hesaid were undergoing questioning
by investigators Saturday.
Stevens and Miranda gave fewother details about what led
(13:14):
police to the group that firedon Ascana, the ensuing police
response or the shootout.
One gun was recovered, Stevensadded.
Ascona was a five-year veteranof the Newark police force and
was promoted to detective twoyears ago.
Ascona and the other officerwere shot around 6.37 pm in the
(13:37):
area of Broadway in Carteret,authorities said earlier.
Witnesses said they heard astring of gunshots after they
saw officers running down thestreet on a commercial strip
between McDonald's and WhiteCastle restaurants near the
Passaic River.
(14:02):
Police declined to identify.
I couldn't believe the tragedythat occurred just right across
the street from a school that Idrive and the next day, my
students.
We talked about it on the busand of course they were scared,
or I wouldn't say scared,because these kids, you know, in
this environment they're kindof used to this kind of violence
(14:22):
, this gun violence, but theirdisposition, knowing that this
had happened across the streetfrom where they go to school at
it, was just heartbreaking.
Now this next story is going togive further details about
what's going to happen to the14-year-old child here in this
case.
A lot of persons are upsetbecause they feel as though
there are a lot of issuessurrounding the justice in
(14:47):
connection with this officer andhis life.
Alleged 14-year-old cop killercan't be tried as an adult in
New Jersey, handing him allsorts of perks.
He's accused of killing aNewark cop but he won't be tried
in public and likely won't evenserve out a 20-year sentence if
(15:07):
convicted.
That's because the suspectedTriggerman is a 14-year-old boy
and in New Jersey the courtswon't move kids of that age up
to criminal court, no matter howheinous their crimes.
One year in age may not seemlike much, but it will make a
world of difference for theunidentified teen who's been
(15:28):
charged with murder forallegedly gunning down
26-year-old Detective JosephAscana with an automatic weapon
Friday night on a Brick Citystreet corner.
For one thing, a family courtjudge will handle the case in
secret proceedings then decidethe verdict no juries allowed.
The potential sentence wouldalso be very different.
(15:50):
If the alleged shooter weretried as an adult, a jury could
slap him with 30 years to lifein prison for killing a cop.
But as a juvenile the most asuspect could face is 20 years
and he probably wouldn't evenserve the whole thing, since
there is no mandatory minimumfor minors.
The expert added in New Jersey,after trial his case would be
(16:13):
sealed and he wouldn't have apublic criminal record.
Practically speaking, his caseis in the newspaper and
everybody's gonna know he wascharged.
But if somebody says to him ata job interview have you ever
been arrested?
His case is sealed.
So the answer is no.
The situation has left copsthroughout the Garden State
(16:35):
enraged at what they feel is afailure of justice.
One cop said this, and I quotehe was old enough to acquire a
gun and he was apparently oldenough to engage the police in a
shootout.
But now you're going to sayhe's not old enough to be the
tough guy in court that he wason the street.
Another cop says this it'sinfuriating.
(16:56):
What message does that send tothe next wannabe thug?
The officer added he killed acop.
Treat him like the cop killerthat he is A retired Brooklyn
detective, raged AIDS shouldhave nothing to do with the
charges.
He intentionally shot a greatman doing his job, protecting
innocent people.
(17:17):
The comments continue to go onlike so.
The sad thing about this storyand this is something that I
talk to my bus days all of thetime in connection with just how
the system of justice is justlike it's like a hole, it's like
a donut, it's like a hole, adonut hole.
There's just so many ways thelaw can be loopholed and the
(17:42):
interesting thing about it isthat if you get the right lawyer
, if you get the rightcircumstances, people commit
heinous crimes every single dayand they just walk free.
So where does that leave ushere?
The team at RED, the podcastingteam here?
Well, for one thing, I reallyencourage everyone to be as
diligent and careful as theypossibly can.
(18:04):
Now, as my supervisor said tome, there's no way to prevent
these gross injustices thathappen every day.
I mean, when we walk out of ourhouse every day, we're taking a
chance.
We are literally taking achance at the fact that we could
be involved in that next schoolshooting or that next robbery,
or that next, whatever it'sgoing to be.
However, there are things thatwe can do to protect ourselves.
(18:28):
For example, it's not the bestthing to wander the streets
aimlessly.
A lot of young people todaythey like to hang out after
school, they don't want to gohome right away, etc.
Don't be like that, guys.
It's sad because sometimesthey're hanging out after school
because they don't want to gohome, because their home
environment is chaotic and amess, but the reality is, you
(18:52):
are more likely.
In some cases and I'm usingthis very, very, very loosely In
some cases, things could changeat home.
Okay, but when it comes to theunforeseen occurrences that
present themselves on thestreets.
It doesn't always pay off thatway.
Sometimes it just doesn't workout that way for young persons.
(19:12):
So, guys, continue to becareful and diligent as you
continue to make the best ofyour circumstances in this
wicked world that we are livingin.
Our next story also is in NewJersey.
This was just a powerful weekfor New Jersey.
As a school bus driver, myheart goes out.
Nj school bus crash injures 14kids, driver, one child
(19:37):
seriously hurt.
A school bus traveling fromLakewood to New York State
overturned on Garden StateParkway in Bergen County Monday
evening, injuring 14 kids andthe driver.
Police said One of the childrenwas seriously injured.
According to the New JerseyState Police, the northbound bus
veered off the highway andoverturned near the James
(19:58):
Gandolfini service area inMontvale at 7.39 pm.
State police said the44-year-old Lakewood man driving
the bus had moderate injuriesand 13 children sustained minor
injuries when the bus crashednear milepost 170.5, authorities
said.
Montvale Mayor Mike Gasali toldNJ Advance Media there were 31
(20:25):
people on the bus and one childwas thrown from the vehicle.
The bus was traveling fromLakewood to New York State.
According to Montvale Mayor andGovernor, phil Murphy, abc-ny
reported the bus wastransporting Yeshiva students to
an event celebrating the birthof a rabbi's grandchild.
The crash remains underinvestigation.
(20:47):
Now, when you look at the waythis bus is flipped, guys and
I'm just going to be aspractical as I possibly can
there's no way that this busdriver was not speeding.
The bus is flipped over on itsside.
I've been driving school busesfor over 10 years.
I've never flipped a bus in allmy life.
We can't be dogmatic because weweren't there.
I mean, and after all, the logoon my shirt says just that that
(21:10):
the school bus.
You know it's one direction,but let's just say this was an
accident.
It looks pretty bad from theperspective of the authorities
and the perspective of parents.
When a school bus is overturned, it's not really something that
you want to play with, and thefact that this happened in New
Jersey I was really shocked,because our state of New Jersey
(21:30):
is not a state you want to playwith.
New Jersey is indeed one ofthose states in which you get
your license and you just youkeep your head down and your
mouth shut.
We hope that the victims inconnection with this story are
going to make a well and speedyrecovery, and we do wish well
for that bus driver as well.
We're hoping that this doesn'tlead to further secrets or
(21:51):
further things that were notdone properly in connection with
this particular circumstance.
In our following story there ismention of a teacher in this
school and something like thishappened at my school bus
company.
I thought that was well notinteresting, but it's pretty,
(22:13):
pretty devastating.
Um, someone on the live asksthis question do school buses
have cameras?
Some, some school buses havecameras, not all, and I think
that's the problem.
If more school buses hadcameras, like legally enforced
and built in, it would makethings a lot different, a lot
(22:34):
different on the on the scene.
Here's our following ourfollowing story Teacher found
dead inside classroom at MunfordHigh, leading to school closure
.
School closure.
Police say A teacher was founddead inside a classroom at
Munford High on Thursday morning, leading officials to shut down
(22:55):
the school for the day.
Munford police said the teacherwas found dead inside of a
classroom around 6 am.
He died of a self-inflictedgunshot wound.
According to police, theteacher's body was discovered
before school started, leadingthe school to close for the day
due to the emergency situation.
Tipton County Schools AssistantSuperintendent Rebecca Bird
(23:16):
called the teacher's death anisolated incident In a Facebook
post.
Munford PD said all studentsand staff were safe, but added
that the high school would beclosed for the rest of the day,
thursday, as police continued toinvestigate.
Munford police called theteacher's death a tragic
incident and said Our thoughtsand prayers are with the family,
(23:38):
friends, students and facultyaffected by this heartbreaking
event.
We ask that the communityrespect the family's privacy
during this difficult time, thatthe community respect the
family's privacy during thisdifficult time.
Well, here on the REDpodcasting show, we just want to
express our condolences to thefamily in this regard.
(23:59):
When grief or death rather comesin this tragic form, it can be
earth shattering.
It's such a blow to one'semotional endurance and one's
emotional stamina that it canjust knock you off your feet.
But in this particularcircumstance, I find that you
can cope if you surroundyourself with persons who love
(24:20):
and care for you and you doeverything in your power to make
sure that you are not goingthrough this alone, that you're
really striving to find comfortduring your time of loss To the
victim's family.
We do hope that your road ofgrief will be met with loving
support from the people whocared about your relative very
(24:40):
much.
This following story chaos,stupidity, ignorance.
There's no telling.
There are things that studentsare going to do.
I mean, we get that.
But when you do things thataffect other people's lives, it
can become a little bit moredifficult to apply patience to
(25:01):
the circumstance.
Chaos erupts at a New York Citymiddle school after two students
unleash pepper spray, injuringdozens.
Two students fire pepper sprayinside a Queens middle school
cafeteria, injuring 20 studentsand four staffers.
The chaos erupted around 12.45pm when two female students ages
(25:21):
12 and 13, discharged thenoxious substance inside College
Point Collaborative MiddleSchool on 14th Avenue and
College Point cops said Twentystudents and four staff members
at the public school weretreated for eye irritation and
difficulty breathing.
The wounded staffers, inaddition to 11 kids, received
(25:43):
additional treatment at New YorkPresbyterian Queens Hospital.
Police said the two studentswho fired the pepper spray were
taken into police custody andlater released to their parents.
No charges will be filed,police said.
When you hear that there arestories in which someone did
something really bad and peoplegot injured and there were no
(26:07):
charges filed, my question ishow did they get that off?
Because let it have been me orsomeone one of my cousins, we'd
be going to jail.
But in this particular story.
These girls 12 and 13, releasedthis bomb, injured, gave people
eye irritation and all sorts ofthings, and then, all of a
sudden, there's just no charges.
(26:29):
Earlier in the show we talkedabout ways that we can protect
ourselves, and one of thereasons why I encourage my
listeners to protect themselvesis because we don't have control
over what is going to be thefinal destination when it comes
to the legal authorities.
We don't know what they'regoing to declare should be done
when we put ourselves in harm'sway of breaking the law or
(26:51):
getting involved in some type ofmisconduct.
I was on TikTok Live earliertoday and someone asked me
what's my favorite misdemeanor?
And I said what in the chicken?
What are you talking about?
What does that even mean?
You know you stay away fromthose kinds of things.
You don't run to the fire, youextinguish it, and so in these
circumstances, I do find itinteresting that not every story
(27:13):
ends in someone going to prison.
Someone on live said this gladyou're still at it, brother,
haven't seen you in a while.
Yeah, we're still doing it.
We're still doing it live here,and I'm definitely going to try
to film my show regularly onlive so that people can be able
to see these stories firsthandso they can get that initial
(27:34):
reaction, versus me posting iton TikTok and then people
catching these stories, you know, in recorded time it says here
that's crazy.
I know it's hypocritical, butthis type of stuff is why I
carry my pepper spray at school.
Well, I wouldn't say thatyou're being hypocritical
because you're being cautious.
You know I do encourage people.
(27:54):
You know I'd rather you carrypepper spray than a weapon or
something that's going to injuresomeone else, but the pepper
spray is more so for you toprotect yourself.
And our following story.
I will say that we want toexpress our condolences.
This next story is tragic andno family should have to endure
(28:15):
or deal with this next localheadline.
12-year-old girl hit by rollingcar killed outside Washington
Middle School in Seattle.
The Seattle Police Departmentsays a 12-year-old girl is dead
after a crash that happenedoutside of Washington Middle
School.
Seattle Public Schools saysthat shortly after second lunch
(28:37):
the student was hit by a carwhile walking to recess.
Police say that around 1 pm thecar, which did not have a
driver inside, rolled about 75yards backward on 20th place
south, hitting the girl.
The owner of the vehicle isbeing evaluated for drugs and
alcohol, which is standardprotocol.
(28:57):
There was a statement releasedby the superintendent expressing
their condolences in connectionwith this story and of course
we echo those sentiments.
I can't imagine how a family isfeeling after you send your
child to school and then you getthat phone call that your child
has lost their life due to anunforeseen occurrence.
(29:18):
It seems that there was no foulplay here in connection with
this story, because there was nodriver inside of the vehicle,
so it could have been a brakemalfunction.
It could have been a mechanicalmalfunction.
So it could have been a brakemalfunction.
It could have been a mechanicalmalfunction.
But I find that when we losesomeone senselessly, it doesn't
matter as to how they were takenaway from us.
What matters is that they aregone and that footprint is
(29:40):
forever in our lives.
It's a mark on one's heart andI couldn't believe it when this
story came to my desk that thisgirl lost her life in such an
unforeseen tragedy.
Back now on TikTok Live, mygood friend Vaughn says someone
forgot to put the car in parkthat's very probable and it says
(30:03):
that the car rolled backwards.
So I'm really thinking thatsomeone did forget to set the
parking brake and then that'swhat happened.
The car rolled back and inthose circumstances it's just
one of those stories that's likethat's really messed up, but
there's no justice at the end ofthe train for this young girl.
It's tragic.
Now in this following story andwe've got a plethora of just
(30:25):
violent fights.
Now you guys do recognize thatTikTok will definitely put me in
TikTok jail if I upload any ofthese fights.
So what I'm going to do is inthe description on this short
I'm going to put a link to thisvideo.
I encourage you guys to watchthis video after you listen to
this headline.
This was a very nasty story.
(30:46):
A father speaks out after sonattacked at Wake County Middle
School.
James Carter still finds it hardto watch the video of his
12-year-old son being attackedby three students at Riverbend
Middle School Tuesday.
It was heart-wrenching.
He said my son could havebroken his neck, he could have
cracked his skull, he could havebeen killed.
(31:08):
He has nerve damage.
He has muscle damage in hisright shoulder.
According to Carter, hereceived a call from the school
Tuesday morning about theincident.
He says, and I quote I got thephone call about 1030 to let me
know three other students hadattacked my son.
Carter said.
That's when Carter said he leftwork to check out his son and
(31:30):
he was greeted by his oldest son, heartbroken over what happened
to his little brother.
My oldest son immediately justfell into my arms, crying.
Carter said I asked what waswrong.
He said they had been showinghim the video all day.
That's when my youngest sonpulled out the video.
Carter feels school employeesdidn't do more before his son
(31:53):
was slammed to the floor.
This teacher in the video didnothing, he adds.
They said the school camerasshowed the teacher stepped in
and grabbed another student,hitting my son.
Carter pressed charges butdiscovered Friday afternoon the
case was not moving forward.
According to Carter, the schoolassured him that the students
would receive the maximumpunishment they could give, but
(32:16):
he feels it's not enough.
His disappointment with theschool's response is palpable.
As he describes the videocirculating through the school,
carter, concerned for the safetyof other students, said his son
incurred some medical bills dueto his injuries.
He said he wanted to speak outto prevent this from happening
to another student.
(32:36):
The Wake County public schoolsystem has not responded to
requests for comment.
I'm sure I'm sure In this video,guys, and I'm begging you guys
when I upload this tonight ortomorrow on tiktok.
Whenever I put this up, do notrely on the algorithm to push
you this story.
Look for this story.
There are three teenage boysstomping this kid out to the
(33:00):
death and then, finally, ifthat's not enough, because the
guy is already practicallyunconscious, one of the students
, red polo shirt, grabs thisdude, lifts him up in the air
and slams him right on his face.
Now, if that's not a case ofattempted murder, I don't know
what is.
You see, these are the thingsthat cause people to become
(33:21):
vigilantes.
I'm a big believer in the factthat not everyone is a bad
person, but just as you can turnan innocent kid into a mass
crook by provoking him orbullying him or whatever the
case is, the same can be true inthese stories with these
parents.
These parents are turning tothe school for support, for
(33:42):
comfort, but yet you're duckingaccountability, even if you told
the father yeah, we didn't dothe best we could regarding this
kid, but now we have to dosomething.
Moving forward, that's fine,but not acknowledging your
responsibility in this madness.
It's devastating for any parentand this is where the best of
villains come from.
(34:03):
Now, now, back here in tiktok,live I see that some of my old
pals have joined in.
This is my buddy Vaughn here.
They should have reaped whatthey sow, and I think that that,
eventually, is going to be theoutcome In this video.
Though, when you guys do lookat this video on this short, I'm
going to put the link in thedescription because TikTok won't
let me upload it.
Please know that it isdefinitely graphic and there
(34:26):
might be some viewer discretionneeded.
I just can't believe that thisis just how far the school
system has literally slippedaway in connection with caring
about the students and makingsure a child feels safe versus
trying to cover everything up.
In our following story, we arecontinuing down that same path
(34:47):
of assault and violence.
It seems today that everyone isviolent.
Everyone wants to be heard orwants to be seen, and in this
next story it definitelyhighlights that Three students
arrested for recent assault ofanother student at local middle
school.
Three juveniles are facingcharges in connection with an
assault last week at McAuliffeMiddle School in the Newcastle
(35:10):
area.
Delaware State Police saidFriday that an investigation
determined that a 13-year-oldstudent was assaulted and struck
in the head with a heavy metalmug, known as a Stanley Cup,
last Friday, february 28.
The victim needed hospitaltreatment for serious injuries
to her head.
Two 13-year-old girls arecharged with assault, possession
(35:32):
of a deadly weapon, conspiracyand disorderly conduct.
They were arraigned in familycourt and released on $7,500
unsecured bond.
The 12-year-old male suspectwho is accused of striking the
victim with his hands werecharged with a misdemeanor
offense.
The victim with his hands werecharged with a misdemeanor
(35:52):
offense.
So in this story, if you guyscan fathom it, three students,
two girls, one boy the two girlsdecide to pistol whip another
student with a Stanley mug andthen the boy, because he has to
get his just desserts, decidesto attack this student.
Now, the interesting thingabout this is this is a little
(36:14):
girl.
So you're telling me it tooktwo girls, a Stanley Cup and a
full grown practical boy,because a teenage boy at 13 is
that's just damage, right thereto apprehend or to fend off this
girl.
Let's just say she was a bully.
For goodness sake, what'swhat's wrong with these kids
today?
(36:34):
Like I'm gonna just turn to mylive for a minute and just and
just vibe out, because I don'tknow if you guys are noticing it
too, that these, the kids today, have a stronger sense of
violence, like there is a lotmore aggression with kids today
than there's ever been before.
Oh, sharita, it's good to seeyou, mrs howard, as it were.
People wonder why some parentsare nervous and scared to have
their children in these schools,not knowing what's going to
(36:56):
happen.
I couldn't agree with sharitamore.
I couldn't.
You know we're, we're schoolbus drivers.
You know they grow, oh, theygrow up with violence.
You know that's a good point,bond, I think.
But you know, sometimes too,guys, it's not that the kids are
growing up only with violence,because you do have those that
are growing up with violence,but you also have students that
(37:18):
just they, they love, right, thetv, the video games, and and
then it just molds their mindand their thinking.
And the next thing, you know,it's just, it's just game over
for these kids, it's just, it'stragic man, I just oh, my
goodness.
And then the thing, you know,it's just game over for these
kids, it's just, it's tragic man, I just, oh, my goodness.
And then the parents you knowyou want to start a family, you
want to be able to grow thatlove you have with your partner
(37:39):
and create this little baby,child that the stork dropped off
on the porch, but then littleJohnny or little Ricky at school
wants to stomp the little babyout.
It's just.
It's the tragic.
It's just tragic, man, it'stragic, but there are things, as
we've mentioned again, that youcan do to cope with the
circumstances.
Guys, remember, vengeance isnot the answer.
(38:00):
This is a theme that I've beentrying to teach my coworkers at
work.
Everything with them is tit fortat.
You do something to me, I'mgoing to do something to you,
but the reality of the situationis this we don't need to
retaliate, we don't need to giveviolence to every sort of
injustice, because that doesn'tget anything fixed.
(38:22):
It just amplifies an alreadyunsolved problem.
That's just really thecircumstances.
Here's another comment from Live.
So glad I got to go to analternative school.
I believe that's what that says.
There the difference was rightand night and day, rather, I've
only seen one fight in just twoyears.
Well, I can definitely saythat's a blessing in itself,
(38:46):
because people today just don'thave that love and care anymore.
They will literally have youapprehended and still want to
invoke violence upon you.
This next story highlights justhow much a parent can influence
a child.
Again, guys, tiktok is notgoing to allow me to upload this
video, but it is one that willinclude a description of the
incident and what you will findwith this next story.
Guys, I am telling you toplease check this story out on
(39:10):
my TikTok page when it'suploaded, and even now you can
be able to just follow along inthe headlines if you do.
A Google search Video shows amother and a teen fighting an
eighth grader on a school bus.
Warren Township police areinvestigating after two
unauthorized family membersboarded a middle school bus and
physically fought with a student.
(39:31):
School officials confirmed theincident occurred on Thursday
morning while students werebeing picked up for school.
Two family members of a studentan adult female and a juvenile
female boarded the middle schoolbus and began hitting an eighth
grader.
A report taken by WarrenTownship School Police says
officers were called just before9 am, thursday to the
(39:54):
intersection of East 35th Streetand North Richard Avenue for a

No further information isprovided in the police report or
in the school's statement.
(40:58):
However, a video shared onFacebook appears to capture the
incident on camera.
When I saw this particularvideo, I could not believe just
how much went into the whoopingof this student.
This student here, our sourcessay, was punched at least six
(41:22):
times.
The hoodie was thrown over hishead and the two females walked
toward him and just theyliterally pummeled this guy.
And the sad thing about it isis that people don't even fear
the camera anymore.
When you guys watch this video,you're going to be able to see
as to how brazen the mother'sconduct is.
When she recognizes that thereare people who are filming this,
(41:45):
she encourages them to film itbecause she just doesn't care.
Back on TikTok Vaughn says hereviolence begets violence.
Yeah, I mean, there's nowhereproven that violence solves any
problems.
Like, violence is not theanswer, it never was and it
never will be.
And when people realize that, Iguess there will be a
(42:08):
progression of moving forward,but until then, you know, people
are going to continue to handletheir problems the way they
think they should.
But my viewers and listeners,those who listen to this podcast
regularly, guys, rememberviolence is not going to do
anything for you.
But if you stay proactive andyou surround yourself with
healthy influences and youcommunicate with your parents
(42:31):
and you get the help that youneed, you can ward off these
dark times victoriously.
Yeah, this comment here fromTikTok Live they were probably
getting revenge.
It's possible.
I mean, in the video I willtell you, guys, that it seemed
like this had been bullying.
(42:51):
It seemed like the family hadgotten on the bus to help this
kid deal with bullying.
But even worse, the bully isnow off the spotlight and the
parents are the ones.
That's on the spotlight.
That's really, you know, that'sreally the sad part about this
story.
If they wanted to get justicein connection with the bullying,
(43:12):
they should have did somethingdifferent.
They should have tried to dosomething a little bit different
.
Here's our following story, ourfollowing story.
I've been saying our a lot andI'm really trying to get away
from that, because that is notthe proper way to pronounce the
word our.
It's true, when you're speakingthe English language, you have
(43:34):
to move all of your mouth to beable to enunciate these words.
Our following story Educatorsat Stearns Elementary School are
on leave amid allegationsstudents were placed in a
bathroom to de-escalate.
Several educators at StearnsElementary School have been
(43:54):
placed on paid administrativeleave following allegations that
children were placed in timeout in a closed bathroom in
violation of district and stateregulations.
In a letter to families,superintendent Joseph Curtis and
Stern's principal, sarahLuciani was made aware on
February 26 that staff in twoclassrooms room 1 and room 7,
(44:20):
were using a classroom bathroomin room 7 as a place for
students to de-escalate.
Curtis said Lucianiinvestigated immediately and
informed district administrators, who filed a 51A report with
the Department of Children andFamilies.
That number refers to thechapter of state law mandating
that educators and othersworking with children report
(44:43):
their suspicion of abuse orneglect.
The investigation andallegations come as the city
schools are working to overcomemultiple challenges, including
allegations of misbehavior bystaff at Pittsville High School
and Superintendent JosephCurtis' unexpected resignation
(45:03):
announcement.
Last month.
A parent of one of the students, speaking on condition their
name not be used, told the Eaglethat the incidents took place
in an inclusive classroom atStearns.
Complaints have been filed withPittsfield Police and the State
Department of Children andFamilies, the parent added.
The parent mentioned thatmultiple parents reached out to
(45:27):
police.
Pittsfield Police Chief ThomasDawley confirmed that officers
were dispatched to Stern Schoolto assist on February 28th.
He quotes this quote.
Rather, this is an ongoinginvestigation and has been
referred to another agency.
The parents said that they weretold that an educator held the
(45:48):
door handle so their child couldnot exit.
The interesting thing aboutthis story this parent goes on
to express something veryserious.
She says here that for a childwith special needs, the trauma
of being held in an enclosedspace lasts well beyond the time
spent there.
And she's right.
(46:08):
Now this child is going toconnect this trauma, this
traumatic incident, every timethey need to go into a bathroom.
This investigation is stillongoing and so far no charges
have come up in connection withthese administrators.
They still are currently on apaid leave.
For me personally, I'm not goingto say this show influences
(46:32):
whether I have kids or not, butit does influence how I provide
guidance to principals,administrators, students of all
ages, whether that be elementaryschool, high school, private
school.
Whatever the circumstance,there is a lot going on in
schools and a lot of parentsaren't aware of it.
A lot of parents think thateverything is just
(46:52):
do-do-do-do-do and they can gointo.
Their child will go into schooland everything will be great
and fine.
But the reality, guys.
Teachers lack empathy.
The empathy of a teacher isgone.
That's not all teachers, ofcourse, but the average teacher.
You remember, back in the day,a teacher was a safe haven.
(47:13):
A teacher was a refuge, someonethat you can rely on.
But that's not the case anymore.
A teacher is no longer alwaysthat refuge or protection.
Well, we do wish the victims awell and speedy recovery and we
hope that the parents are goingto be able to get through this
circumstance as best that theypossibly can.
(47:34):
Powerful story, very, verypowerful story.
In this following story, notehow one teenager was stopped or
foiled from a very dangerousattack.
Police arrest teen and seizeguns after online threats to
shoot up school.
A Florida teenager was arrestedand charged Sunday in
(47:55):
connection with what policecalled online threats to shoot
up a high school.
The 17-year-old was arrestedafter police in Sanford, less
than an hour north of Orlando,were alerted to a video
allegedly featuring himthreatening to launch an attack
on nearby Seminole High School.
He has been charged withintimidation through making a
(48:16):
written or electronic threat ofmass shooting or a terroristic
act.
The teenager is a student atElevation High School, also in
Sanford, and was arrestedwithout incident at his home,
police said.
Police said they acted on ananonymous tip received Saturday
which pointed them to the videothat showed multiple guns.
(48:36):
The Orlando Sentinel reported,citing court documents, that in
the video the teenager claimedto have an extensive arsenal
including an AK-47 assault rifle, a SVD rifle, a Glock I-9
handgun and a M4 rifle.
When police searched his home,however, they instead found
(49:01):
airsoft weapons and an airsoftvest.
They also seized a laptop,iphone, a knife and a notebook
from the house.
The Sentinel reported SanfordPolice Chief Cecil Smith said
the 17-year-old was quicklyidentified as the person in the
video thanks to the quickcollaboration of multiple
agencies, including the SeminoleCounty Sheriff's Office,
(49:24):
homeland Security, the FBI andSeminole County Public Schools.
Superintendent Sarita Baymonsaid I am so thankful for the
collaborative work andrelentless dedication of all the
agencies involved in bringingthis incident to a conclusion.
(49:45):
No further information inconnection with this particular
story, but we do know that thisis something that has continued
on throughout the school systemin America and many persons in
other countries tune into mypodcast and they ask me what in
the world is wrong with America.
And I tell them listen, I'm notthe one out there, you know,
harboring mass weapons ofviolence and destruction.
(50:06):
That's not how I roll, but myheart does go out to you, dear
ones.
If this is your particular highschool those of you who are
catching this TikTok short orthis YouTube short let us know
here.
We love to hear back from youand RAD podcasting.
Did you know this student?
Is this someone that wastalking about doing something
(50:27):
like this in the past couple ofmonths?
Or, you know, sometimes youdon't get any indication that a
student is trying to inflictviolence on a school.
But it's just crazy man.
It's just so much aggression,violence and anger in the world
today that people just don'tcare about it.
We wish you guys all the bestdown there in Florida and hope
(50:47):
that you're going to be able toget past this emotionally
difficult set of circumstances.
In this following story, noticehow one four-year-old decided to
use the emergency hotline forhis own devices.
Wisconsin four-year-old getsfrosty surprise after calling
cops on mom for eating his icecream.
(51:08):
This Wisconsin kiddo is icecold.
An adorable four-year-old boycalled authorities on his mother
for the crime of eating his icecream, leading to a frosty
surprise from a pair of localcops last week.
The tot, who lives in thevillage of Mount Pleasant,
dialed 911 Tuesday in hopes ofgetting his dessert-swiping
(51:29):
mother in the clink.
Getting his dessert swipingmother in the clink, my mom is
being bad.
He told a county dispatcher.
According to audio obtained bywcax, come and get my mommy,
come and get my mommy.
As the dispatcher tried tofigure out what the problem was,
the boy's mother grabbed thephone and explained why she was
(51:50):
in trouble.
I I ate his ice cream, sothat's probably why he's calling
911, she said as the boycomplained in the background.
Following the call, mountPleasant police officers stopped
by the house, where theyoungster had a change of heart.
He told them he was stillpeeved, he didn't have any ice
cream but didn't want to see hismother go to jail for it.
(52:11):
The next day the officersvisited the house again, this
time with some of the icy treat.
A photo released from thevillage department showed the
two cops standing with the childas he held a couple of cups of
ice cream with blue sprinkles.
I think it's really cool thatthis kid decided to take matters
into his own hands.
(52:32):
You know he knew his motherbroke the law of the house,
right?
You know she stole his icecream or took the ice cream and
he says that's okay.
I'm used to parents saying goahead, call Dyfus, it is what it
is.
But this dude literally pickedup the phone and said 911, the
woman stole my ice cream.
And it's the cutest thing.
In this photo photo you see thecops with the kid.
They brought him ice cream thenext day and I think that's
(52:53):
pretty cool, man, that you knowthe cops could have just left it
at that.
They could have scolded him for, you know, misusing 9-1-1.
But the kid's heart was in theright place.
He saw that there was anemergency.
He stuck to the fact that hewanted to get things rectified
and he went through and called9-1-1.
So I thought that was, uh waswhat a very nice story to be
able to share with you guys thisepisode amid all of the dark
(53:15):
stories we've discussed thispast hour.
And back on TikTok Live.
I see my guy, nero, there.
I haven't heard from Nero in along time, I guess because I
haven't been on my TikTok Livein a while.
But so many people are comingthrough this live and I'm
thinking about doing this everyThursday when I film my show I
should just go live.
I think it'll be practicalbecause it'll give people more
(53:39):
of an opportunity to see theshow live and to be able to be a
part of these stories.
And just, you know all of thecircumstances, you know we
literally are all in thistogether and we are coping with
this wicked world doing this thebest practical way that we can.
This next story does take adark turn, however.
I was literally I was shocked.
(54:02):
I couldn't believe just how badthings turned in connection
with this story, and so I doencourage you guys to exercise
discretion because this is aheavy one.

hot topic of conversation todayis flying.
A lot of people have beenhijacked mentally by the news
because the news keeps reportingthese plane crashes and in this
next story I found it to bequite gripping that they are
reporting an incident thathappened on a plane, but it is
not by far, or it is not by far,I guess it is by far.
(58:15):
Well, I will just tell you thisthis is not a plane crash story

term of 20 years.
Both charges also provide forat least five years of
(01:00:53):
supervised release, a fine of upto $250,000 and restitution.
Thompson is scheduled to besentenced June 17th.
Now, when you guys look at this,uh, the picture of what Mr
Thompson did, of what MrThompson did, I can't believe.
(01:01:17):
I can't believe that he reallythought he was going to be able
to get this off.
He took his iPhone, flipped itupside down, taped it to the
back seat of the toilet and thenhe wrote with a magic marker
which wasn't magic at all,because he got caught and wrote
on this seat not operative, andI just can't believe that this
guy would do this, like you're aflight attendant and you're
(01:01:39):
literally recording little girlsin the bathroom.
I, just when you think you'veseen it all on this show guys,
you literally have not.
To the families of these girls,we can't express how sorry we
are that you guys experiencedthis.
True, there was a settlement,and so there was a monetary
compensation, but the emotionaldamage that these girls are
(01:02:01):
going to have to deal withmoving forward in their lives is
insane, and so we do want toexpress that.
We hope that you guys, as afamily, recover and that this
does not damage your view offlying in or at all.
In general, we wish you guysthe best as you continue to move
forward.
Now, going back to tiktok live,because we're doing this thing
(01:02:23):
on live, this particular episode, ream is back in the building.
I haven't seen ream in over 50years or so and it's nice to be
able to hear him.
He's one of my original like.
He's one of the guys that werethere when I had, you know,
double digit followers on TikTok, and now I just think it's just
(01:02:44):
really cool that you know he'shere with us for this episode.
This is episode number 116.
And I'm really happy that theshow is progressing thus far.
It's been going strong, it'sbeen going great, and a lot of
my followers are complainingthat I never go on live and blah
, blah, blah and merch shirt,this, merch shirt, that, and I'm
(01:03:06):
like okay, so every Thursdaywhen I do this show, from now on
forward, this show will be live.
It'll give everyone anopportunity to catch this show.
I think it'll be a lot of fun.
I think that this is going tobe a lot of fun and I've loved
being here with you guys thispast hour or so.
Yeah, maybe, if you startcommenting on my videos, bro,
(01:03:27):
that'd be great.
You know what I mean.
Well, guys, we have reachedthat final story of this episode
and it has been a wonderfulride being able to discuss all
school news with you guys.
Now, every week usually I do 10stories only because that's an
hour, that's my runtime, andthen I just get up and I go.
But today was so special.
We went live, we had peoplecome in, we got new followers,
(01:03:49):
we're growing to the 2000s andso I said you know what I'm
going to.
There's so many good storiesthat we can share.
This week I'm going to up it toabout 16.
And man, oh man, I am missingthose 10 stories and episode.
Here is our final storyAntelope High student 14, cited
after allegedly kicking schoolstaff member.
Sheriff says A high schoolstudent in Sacramento County has
(01:04:14):
been cited after they allegedlykicked a staff member during a
fight on campus.
The Sacramento County Sheriff'sOffice says early Monday
afternoon two students atAntelope High School got into a
fight.
Exactly what led up to thefight has not been detailed by
authorities, but deputies allegethat the primary instigator was
a 14-year-old student.
(01:04:34):
A deputy who was assigned tothe school for the day, along
with staff members, separatedthe fighting student At one
point during the incident.
The sheriff's office says aschool staff member was kicked
in the groin by the 14-year-old.
Deputies have cited the studentfor battery against a school
employee and other charges.
The sheriff's office saysSchool officials will decide
(01:04:57):
whether more disciplinary actionwill be taken.
So in this episode there hasbeen a lot of 14 year old
madness.
If you look at the range of thestories that I've covered in
age, the youngest was 12 on thisweek's episode and the oldest
was 14.
What's up with the teenagerstoday?
(01:05:18):
Is it the milk?
Is it poor upbringing?
Is it the raising?
Like what?
What is it that makes ateenager want to kick someone in
the groin Like I couldn't evenfathom kicking an adult, mostly
because my mother wasn't havingit.
Today there is no parental fear.
You know that used to be athreat back in the day.
Oh, I'm going to call yourmother.
(01:05:39):
Yeah, don't.
But today the kids encourageyou to call the parents because
most of the time the parentsdon't care and in cases where
parents do care, they'reunavailable, they're working two
jobs, they're working threejobs, and so I do find that it
is going to be an interestingroad for this student, because
this could lead to assault.
If the teacher takes it or thestaff member takes this to the
(01:06:01):
police, that's that school.
That student could be facingsome serious charges.
Well, guys, that was our finalstory in connection with this
episode.
Do you remember our theme?
What are the dangers of onlinephoto sharing and how can you
protect yourself?
Number one be careful what youpost.
Number two, make sure you arenot allowing people to track
(01:06:25):
your photos by turning on thatgeolocation feature.
And then, finally, usediscernment as to if you're
going to share your photospublicly or if you're going to
share them in a private manneror on a private platform.
Continue to be discerning asyou guys grow into your adult
(01:06:46):

This is the Everyday Podcast for the Everyday People.
Guys, welcome back to anotherepisode of RED.
It's the Everyday Podcast forthe Everyday People and, as
always, I'm just happy to behere with you guys.
This particular week wasdraining.
This was a long week.
This week really got on mynerves, and so it just got me to
(00:28):
thinking.
There's a lot of things thatyoung people are going through
today.
There's a lot of, let's justsay, pitfalls or things that can
be an obstacle in one's journeyas a young person.
So in this week's episode, Ithought that it would be
practical to give homage or givea shout out to online photo
sharing, the concerns, thedangers and really the
(00:51):
challenges that come with beingable to express someone's
interest or to be able to shareone's photo with individuals
online.
Now, before we get into ourdiscussion this particular week,
I just want to thank all of myfollowers and subscribers on
YouTube.
It seems that in the race forTikTok, we are going to be
moving forward toward the 2000range, and when I started this
(01:14):
show I did not, I didn't thinkthat that was possible, that
this podcast could be able tohave a following of that
magnitude, but I will say thatit's been a really it's been an
incredible journey thus farbeing able to meet so many
different people from so manydifferent backgrounds and being
able to help people through thisshow, and really being able to
(01:35):
help individuals to see thatwhen things are difficult in
life, there are practical waysthat you can be able to cope.
There are practical ways thatyou can be able to cope.
So our theme in connection withthis episode is what should I
know about online photo sharing?
Well, let's just say, forexample, you are having a great
vacation and you want to tellyour friends all about this
(01:57):
vacation.
What would you do?
Would you send each one apostcard, would you write them
an email or would you post thephotos online?
Well, when your grandparentswere your age, a was probably
the option send each one apostcard but when your parents
(02:20):
were your age, b may have been apossibility.
You know, write an email to allof your friends, but today, a
lot of young people who areallowed to post photos online
prefer option C.
Well, if you do, this theme isgoing to be able to help you to
analyze what the benefits are ofposting photos online, and it's
going to be able to also helpyou to see as to what dangers
there may be with online photosharing.
(02:43):
So let's talk about for a minutethe benefits with online photo
sharing.
So let's talk about for aminute the benefits.
The first benefit in connectionwith doing this is that it's
immediate.
When I've had an awesome tripor a great time with friends, I
can share photos of theexperience while I'm still
excited about it, excited aboutit.
Melanie, you may feel the waythat Melanie feels in connection
(03:03):
with photo sharing.
Some people do it because it'sconvenient.
Some people don't think aboutthe dangers or the risks that
are involved.
Here's another reason as to whyone may be moved to share
photos online.
It's convenient.
It's a lot easier to lookthrough photo updates that my
friends have posted than to usean email to find out what's
(03:25):
happening with them.
Says Jordan.
I can attest to that.
I'm all about conveniences.
I love being able to postsomething really quickly, get
that quick response and thenkeep that communication
constantly going.
Here's a third reason as to whypersons will share their photos
online.
It helps you to stay in touch.
Some of my friends and familylive far away.
(03:47):
If they post pictures often andI check often, it's as if I see
them every day, says Karen.
Although there are three ways inwhich you can benefit from
online photo sharing, there aredangers that young people need
to be conscious of.
One of the things that one ofthe girls on my school bus told
(04:07):
me is that persons prefer onlinephoto sharing because it's an
easy way to get to the next stepin a sexual way.
Well, what are the dangers?
We're going to consider just afew.
You can put your safety at riskIf your camera has geo-tagging.
Your posted pictures mightreveal more than you intend.
(04:30):
Posting photos and other mediatagged with exact geolocation on
the internet allows randompeople with the right tracking
software and wrong motives tofind an individual's location.
Reports the website digitaltrends.
There are stories that I've comeacross in which a person has
(04:51):
posted an online photo, and itcould be something simple, small
, you know, very innocent photo,and then, all of a sudden,
someone is at your door.
Now, why is that the case?
Well, these photos can belikened to small cookies and if
they're posted with suchfrequency and they have this
geo-tagging, it could lead thewrong persons into your
environment.
Now, I'm not saying that weshould boycott posting photos
(05:14):
online or that we should just bedrastic and just be recluses
when it comes to this form ofmedia share.
But caution can definitelyprevent hardship.
It says here that some criminalsare more concerned with where
you are not.
In one case reported by DigitalTrends, three burglars broke
(05:37):
into 18 homes while everyone wasout.
They went online and trackedthe movements of the residents a
technique called cyber casingand they made off with more than
$100,000 worth of goods.
So you can see the seriousnessof posting photos online and the
(05:58):
risk that are involved.
So I know, growing up, mymother was all about not sharing
our phone number with otherpeople.
She didn't want me to open thedoor for certain individuals and
as a child I thought, mom, youknow you're kind of tripping
that's insane, but I can see asto why.
We live in a world in whichpeople have ulterior motives and
if, given the opportunity,people will act on these harmful
(06:20):
desires and it could costsomeone their life or, in this
case, material possessions.
Here's another thought inconnection with the dangers of
online posting.
You can come across someoffensive content.
Some people have no shame inposting anything for the world
to see.
A teenager named Sarah says thetrouble comes when you browse
(06:40):
through the accounts of peopleyou don't know.
It's like walking through anunfamiliar city without a map
You're almost certain to end upin a place you didn't want to go
.
It can happen to any one of us.
Constantly on my school bus, Iwarn my students to protect
themselves from this danger.
I wouldn't want anything tohappen to them, and sometimes
(07:02):
parents are just not aware ofthe dangers that can come from
these convenient methods ofonline photo sharing or these
methods of social media, anotherone that some people may not
think is as important as therest.
Your time can slip away.
It's easy to get caught up inviewing the latest post and
reading everyone's comments,says a young woman named Yolanda
(07:26):
.
You can get to the point whereyou pull out your phone every
spare second just to see what'snew.
Well, if you have experiencedthis, or have trouble managing
your device, we discussed thattheme earlier in this season in
connection with how you can beable to take control over your
device, rather than your devicetaking control over you.
(07:46):
So here's some things that youcan do to protect yourself when
it comes to online photo sharing.
Some of these tips are practicalsteps.
Other of these tips areprinciples that you can apply to
be able to enhance yourjudgment from persons out there
that may want to do you harm.
Here's the first one Bedetermined to avoid
(08:07):
objectionable content.
A principle that I reallyappreciate and that I've lived
by throughout my years is I willnot set anything worthless
before my eyes.
This is what Stephen says.
I regularly check the post ofthose I'm following and I
unfollow them if I feel thattheir content is inappropriate.
(08:28):
Oftentimes young people don'trecognize and even some adults
that certain things that youshare online with people can
also invoke legal trouble.
When I cover these stories onthe show, as we're going to get
into right after this theme,you're going to see that some of
these crimes that people arecommitting are not in-person
crimes.
A lot of the crime that personsare dealing with today is
(08:48):
cybercrime.
It's crimes that are not donephysically, but they're done in
cyberspace, and now the law isbecoming much more up to date
with these different types ofcrimes.
Another principle that reallyhas helped other individuals to
deal with online photo sharingis to avoid contact with people
who do not share your values.
(09:10):
A principle that really goes along way is bad associations can
spoil, or bad associationscorrupt, good morals.
So if you're someone who'swalking in one direction and
your friend is not trying toback you up and they don't
support your moral standing inlife and they don't have your
back in certain ways, then it'sreally a waste of time.
(09:30):
The best of friendships arecultivated not based on your
material advantages, but youcultivate good friendships by
sharing those common values,those morals.
So if you are a person that hasa drive and you're trying to go
somewhere in life and yourfriends don't have that drive,
you're going to find yourselfoverwhelmed and tired out
because they're getting morefrom you than they're willing to
(09:50):
put in to the friendship.
One other thing that can reallybe of assistance when it comes
to online photo sharing issetting limits on how long
you're going to browse and howoften you will post photos.
There is a powerful principleor method that has helped so
many to be balanced when itcomes to what they post.
Keep strict, watch that how youwalk is not as unwise, but as
(10:15):
wise persons making the best useof your time.
So you can make sure that thephotos you post don't give the
impression that it's all aboutyou.
You can make sure that thephotos that you are posting is
not inviting harmful influenceinto your life and that you're
not putting yourself in apredicament in which someone
could take advantage of you,whether that be mentally,
(10:36):
emotionally, physically or evensexually in some cases.
This podcast is designed to beable to help individuals to cope
with the very real, traumaticand drastic circumstances going
on in life, and the sad thingabout it is it could start off
as something so innocent, butthe real reality is that even
(10:57):
though someone has goodintentions does not mean that
they have good qualities.
So, guys, that was our theme inconnection with this episode.
What should I know about onlinephoto sharing?
Be smart, be wise and becautious.
I'm not saying that, you know,it's the thought to be able to
(11:20):
bombard, or, I should say,boycott, online photo sharing,
but you want to make sure thatwhen you are posting things
online, you are making sure thatyou are being safe and careful,
and that really will definitelygo a long way.
In this following story, we'regoing to be able to examine the
tragedies that happened inconnection with a Newark
(11:42):
shooting.
Now, the interesting thingabout this particular story is
that I work the school rightacross the street from where
this incident took place.
New Jersey police officer killed, second officer wounded in
shooting by 14-year-old.
Authorities say A 14-year-oldshot and killed a police officer
and wounded another.
Friday evening in New Jersey,authorities said In a chaotic
(12:06):
scene that witnesses describedas seeing officers running down
a busy street before they hearda volley of a dozen or more
gunshots.
The slain officer, 26-year-oldJoseph Ascana, was part of a
Newark police intelligence teamthat had gone to capture a
suspect in an illegal weaponsinvestigation.
When the officer was fired onin his vehicle, authorities said
(12:29):
the officer who was struck washospitalized with injuries that
were not life-threatening.
Authorities added Newark MayorRaz Baraka called the shooting a
heinous, callous disregard forhumanity.
Police took five people intocustody, including the
14-year-old who was charged withmurder, attempted murder and
possession of illegal weapons.
(12:51):
Essex County ProsecutorTheodore N Stevens II told the
news conference the 14-year-oldwho was shot and hospitalized
with injuries that were notlife-threatening.
Stevens said Stevens did notidentify the boy or the other
four people in custody who hesaid were undergoing questioning
by investigators Saturday.
Stevens and Miranda gave fewother details about what led
(13:14):
police to the group that firedon Ascana, the ensuing police
response or the shootout.
One gun was recovered, Stevensadded.
Ascona was a five-year veteranof the Newark police force and
was promoted to detective twoyears ago.
Ascona and the other officerwere shot around 6.37 pm in the
(13:37):
area of Broadway in Carteret,authorities said earlier.
Witnesses said they heard astring of gunshots after they
saw officers running down thestreet on a commercial strip
between McDonald's and WhiteCastle restaurants near the
Passaic River.
(14:02):
Police declined to identify.
I couldn't believe the tragedythat occurred just right across
the street from a school that Idrive and the next day, my
students.
We talked about it on the busand of course they were scared,
or I wouldn't say scared,because these kids, you know, in
this environment they're kindof used to this kind of violence
(14:22):
, this gun violence, but theirdisposition, knowing that this
had happened across the streetfrom where they go to school at
it, was just heartbreaking.
Now this next story is going togive further details about
what's going to happen to the14-year-old child here in this
case.
A lot of persons are upsetbecause they feel as though
there are a lot of issuessurrounding the justice in
(14:47):
connection with this officer andhis life.
Alleged 14-year-old cop killercan't be tried as an adult in
New Jersey, handing him allsorts of perks.
He's accused of killing aNewark cop but he won't be tried
in public and likely won't evenserve out a 20-year sentence if
(15:07):
convicted.
That's because the suspectedTriggerman is a 14-year-old boy
and in New Jersey the courtswon't move kids of that age up
to criminal court, no matter howheinous their crimes.
One year in age may not seemlike much, but it will make a
world of difference for theunidentified teen who's been
(15:28):
charged with murder forallegedly gunning down
26-year-old Detective JosephAscana with an automatic weapon
Friday night on a Brick Citystreet corner.
For one thing, a family courtjudge will handle the case in
secret proceedings then decidethe verdict no juries allowed.
The potential sentence wouldalso be very different.
(15:50):
If the alleged shooter weretried as an adult, a jury could
slap him with 30 years to lifein prison for killing a cop.
But as a juvenile the most asuspect could face is 20 years
and he probably wouldn't evenserve the whole thing, since
there is no mandatory minimumfor minors.
The expert added in New Jersey,after trial his case would be
(16:13):
sealed and he wouldn't have apublic criminal record.
Practically speaking, his caseis in the newspaper and
everybody's gonna know he wascharged.
But if somebody says to him ata job interview have you ever
been arrested?
His case is sealed.
So the answer is no.
The situation has left copsthroughout the Garden State
(16:35):
enraged at what they feel is afailure of justice.
One cop said this, and I quotehe was old enough to acquire a
gun and he was apparently oldenough to engage the police in a
shootout.
But now you're going to sayhe's not old enough to be the
tough guy in court that he wason the street.
Another cop says this it'sinfuriating.
(16:56):
What message does that send tothe next wannabe thug?
The officer added he killed acop.
Treat him like the cop killerthat he is A retired Brooklyn
detective, raged AIDS shouldhave nothing to do with the
charges.
He intentionally shot a greatman doing his job, protecting
innocent people.
(17:17):
The comments continue to go onlike so.
The sad thing about this storyand this is something that I
talk to my bus days all of thetime in connection with just how
the system of justice is justlike it's like a hole, it's like
a donut, it's like a hole, adonut hole.
There's just so many ways thelaw can be loopholed and the
(17:42):
interesting thing about it isthat if you get the right lawyer
, if you get the rightcircumstances, people commit
heinous crimes every single dayand they just walk free.
So where does that leave ushere?
The team at RED, the podcastingteam here?
Well, for one thing, I reallyencourage everyone to be as
diligent and careful as theypossibly can.
(18:04):
Now, as my supervisor said tome, there's no way to prevent
these gross injustices thathappen every day.
I mean, when we walk out of ourhouse every day, we're taking a
chance.
We are literally taking achance at the fact that we could
be involved in that next schoolshooting or that next robbery,
or that next, whatever it'sgoing to be.
However, there are things thatwe can do to protect ourselves.
(18:28):
For example, it's not the bestthing to wander the streets
aimlessly.
A lot of young people todaythey like to hang out after
school, they don't want to gohome right away, etc.
Don't be like that, guys.
It's sad because sometimesthey're hanging out after school
because they don't want to gohome, because their home
environment is chaotic and amess, but the reality is, you
(18:52):
are more likely.
In some cases and I'm usingthis very, very, very loosely In
some cases, things could changeat home.
Okay, but when it comes to theunforeseen occurrences that
present themselves on thestreets.
It doesn't always pay off thatway.
Sometimes it just doesn't workout that way for young persons.
(19:12):
So, guys, continue to becareful and diligent as you
continue to make the best ofyour circumstances in this
wicked world that we are livingin.
Our next story also is in NewJersey.
This was just a powerful weekfor New Jersey.
As a school bus driver, myheart goes out.
Nj school bus crash injures 14kids, driver, one child
(19:37):
seriously hurt.
A school bus traveling fromLakewood to New York State
overturned on Garden StateParkway in Bergen County Monday
evening, injuring 14 kids andthe driver.
Police said One of the childrenwas seriously injured.
According to the New JerseyState Police, the northbound bus
veered off the highway andoverturned near the James
(19:58):
Gandolfini service area inMontvale at 7.39 pm.
State police said the44-year-old Lakewood man driving
the bus had moderate injuriesand 13 children sustained minor
injuries when the bus crashednear milepost 170.5, authorities
said.
Montvale Mayor Mike Gasali toldNJ Advance Media there were 31
(20:25):
people on the bus and one childwas thrown from the vehicle.
The bus was traveling fromLakewood to New York State.
According to Montvale Mayor andGovernor, phil Murphy, abc-ny
reported the bus wastransporting Yeshiva students to
an event celebrating the birthof a rabbi's grandchild.
The crash remains underinvestigation.
(20:47):
Now, when you look at the waythis bus is flipped, guys and
I'm just going to be aspractical as I possibly can
there's no way that this busdriver was not speeding.
The bus is flipped over on itsside.
I've been driving school busesfor over 10 years.
I've never flipped a bus in allmy life.
We can't be dogmatic because weweren't there.
I mean, and after all, the logoon my shirt says just that that
(21:10):
the school bus.
You know it's one direction,but let's just say this was an
accident.
It looks pretty bad from theperspective of the authorities
and the perspective of parents.
When a school bus is overturned, it's not really something that
you want to play with, and thefact that this happened in New
Jersey I was really shocked,because our state of New Jersey
(21:30):
is not a state you want to playwith.
New Jersey is indeed one ofthose states in which you get
your license and you just youkeep your head down and your
mouth shut.
We hope that the victims inconnection with this story are
going to make a well and speedyrecovery, and we do wish well
for that bus driver as well.
We're hoping that this doesn'tlead to further secrets or
(21:51):
further things that were notdone properly in connection with
this particular circumstance.
In our following story there ismention of a teacher in this
school and something like thishappened at my school bus
company.
I thought that was well notinteresting, but it's pretty,
(22:13):
pretty devastating.
Um, someone on the live asksthis question do school buses
have cameras?
Some, some school buses havecameras, not all, and I think
that's the problem.
If more school buses hadcameras, like legally enforced
and built in, it would makethings a lot different, a lot
(22:34):
different on the on the scene.
Here's our following ourfollowing story Teacher found
dead inside classroom at MunfordHigh, leading to school closure
.
School closure.
Police say A teacher was founddead inside a classroom at
Munford High on Thursday morning, leading officials to shut down

Well, here on the REDpodcasting show, we just want to
express our condolences to thefamily in this regard.
(23:59):
When grief or death rather comesin this tragic form, it can be
earth shattering.
It's such a blow to one'semotional endurance and one's
emotional stamina that it canjust knock you off your feet.
But in this particularcircumstance, I find that you
can cope if you surroundyourself with persons who love
(24:20):
and care for you and you doeverything in your power to make
sure that you are not goingthrough this alone, that you're
really striving to find comfortduring your time of loss To the
victim's family.
We do hope that your road ofgrief will be met with loving
support from the people whocared about your relative very
(24:40):
much.
This following story chaos,stupidity, ignorance.
There's no telling.
There are things that studentsare going to do.
I mean, we get that.
But when you do things thataffect other people's lives, it
can become a little bit moredifficult to apply patience to
(25:01):
the circumstance.
Chaos erupts at a New York Citymiddle school after two students
unleash pepper spray, injuringdozens.
Two students fire pepper sprayinside a Queens middle school
cafeteria, injuring 20 studentsand four staffers.
The chaos erupted around 12.45pm when two female students ages
(25:21):
12 and 13, discharged thenoxious substance inside College
Point Collaborative MiddleSchool on 14th Avenue and
College Point cops said Twentystudents and four staff members
at the public school weretreated for eye irritation and
difficulty breathing.
The wounded staffers, inaddition to 11 kids, received
(25:43):
additional treatment at New YorkPresbyterian Queens Hospital.
Police said the two studentswho fired the pepper spray were
taken into police custody andlater released to their parents.
No charges will be filed,police said.
When you hear that there arestories in which someone did
something really bad and peoplegot injured and there were no
(26:07):
charges filed, my question ishow did they get that off?
Because let it have been me orsomeone one of my cousins, we'd
be going to jail.
But in this particular story.
These girls 12 and 13, releasedthis bomb, injured, gave people
eye irritation and all sorts ofthings, and then, all of a
sudden, there's just no charges.
(26:29):
Earlier in the show we talkedabout ways that we can protect
ourselves, and one of thereasons why I encourage my
listeners to protect themselvesis because we don't have control
over what is going to be thefinal destination when it comes
to the legal authorities.
We don't know what they'regoing to declare should be done
when we put ourselves in harm'sway of breaking the law or
(26:51):
getting involved in some type ofmisconduct.
I was on TikTok Live earliertoday and someone asked me
what's my favorite misdemeanor?
And I said what in the chicken?
What are you talking about?
What does that even mean?
You know you stay away fromthose kinds of things.
You don't run to the fire, youextinguish it, and so in these
circumstances, I do find itinteresting that not every story
(27:13):
ends in someone going to prison.
Someone on live said this gladyou're still at it, brother,
haven't seen you in a while.
Yeah, we're still doing it.
We're still doing it live here,and I'm definitely going to try
to film my show regularly onlive so that people can be able
to see these stories firsthandso they can get that initial
(27:34):
reaction, versus me posting iton TikTok and then people
catching these stories, you know, in recorded time it says here
that's crazy.
I know it's hypocritical, butthis type of stuff is why I
carry my pepper spray at school.
Well, I wouldn't say thatyou're being hypocritical
because you're being cautious.
You know I do encourage people.
(27:54):
You know I'd rather you carrypepper spray than a weapon or
something that's going to injuresomeone else, but the pepper
spray is more so for you toprotect yourself.
And our following story.
I will say that we want toexpress our condolences.
This next story is tragic andno family should have to endure
(28:15):
or deal with this next localheadline.
12-year-old girl hit by rollingcar killed outside Washington
Middle School in Seattle.
The Seattle Police Departmentsays a 12-year-old girl is dead
after a crash that happenedoutside of Washington Middle
School.
Seattle Public Schools saysthat shortly after second lunch
(28:37):
the student was hit by a carwhile walking to recess.
Police say that around 1 pm thecar, which did not have a
driver inside, rolled about 75yards backward on 20th place
south, hitting the girl.
The owner of the vehicle isbeing evaluated for drugs and
alcohol, which is standardprotocol.
(28:57):
There was a statement releasedby the superintendent expressing
their condolences in connectionwith this story and of course
we echo those sentiments.
I can't imagine how a family isfeeling after you send your
child to school and then you getthat phone call that your child
has lost their life due to anunforeseen occurrence.
(29:18):
It seems that there was no foulplay here in connection with
this story, because there was nodriver inside of the vehicle,
so it could have been a brakemalfunction.
It could have been a mechanicalmalfunction.
So it could have been a brakemalfunction.
It could have been a mechanicalmalfunction.
But I find that when we losesomeone senselessly, it doesn't
matter as to how they were takenaway from us.
What matters is that they aregone and that footprint is
(29:40):
forever in our lives.
It's a mark on one's heart andI couldn't believe it when this
story came to my desk that thisgirl lost her life in such an
unforeseen tragedy.
Back now on TikTok Live, mygood friend Vaughn says someone
forgot to put the car in parkthat's very probable and it says
(30:03):
that the car rolled backwards.
So I'm really thinking thatsomeone did forget to set the
parking brake and then that'swhat happened.
The car rolled back and inthose circumstances it's just
one of those stories that's likethat's really messed up, but
there's no justice at the end ofthe train for this young girl.
It's tragic.
Now in this following story andwe've got a plethora of just
(30:25):
violent fights.
Now you guys do recognize thatTikTok will definitely put me in
TikTok jail if I upload any ofthese fights.
So what I'm going to do is inthe description on this short
I'm going to put a link to thisvideo.
I encourage you guys to watchthis video after you listen to
this headline.
This was a very nasty story.
(30:46):
A father speaks out after sonattacked at Wake County Middle
School.
James Carter still finds it hardto watch the video of his
12-year-old son being attackedby three students at Riverbend
Middle School Tuesday.
It was heart-wrenching.
He said my son could havebroken his neck, he could have
cracked his skull, he could havebeen killed.
(31:08):
He has nerve damage.
He has muscle damage in hisright shoulder.
According to Carter, hereceived a call from the school
Tuesday morning about theincident.
He says, and I quote I got thephone call about 1030 to let me
know three other students hadattacked my son.
Carter said.
That's when Carter said he leftwork to check out his son and
(31:30):
he was greeted by his oldest son, heartbroken over what happened
to his little brother.
My oldest son immediately justfell into my arms, crying.
Carter said I asked what waswrong.
He said they had been showinghim the video all day.
That's when my youngest sonpulled out the video.
Carter feels school employeesdidn't do more before his son
(31:53):
was slammed to the floor.
This teacher in the video didnothing, he adds.
They said the school camerasshowed the teacher stepped in
and grabbed another student,hitting my son.
Carter pressed charges butdiscovered Friday afternoon the
case was not moving forward.
According to Carter, the schoolassured him that the students
would receive the maximumpunishment they could give, but
(32:16):
he feels it's not enough.
His disappointment with theschool's response is palpable.
As he describes the videocirculating through the school,
carter, concerned for the safetyof other students, said his son
incurred some medical bills dueto his injuries.
He said he wanted to speak outto prevent this from happening
to another student.
(32:36):
The Wake County public schoolsystem has not responded to
requests for comment.
I'm sure I'm sure In this video,guys, and I'm begging you guys
when I upload this tonight ortomorrow on tiktok.
Whenever I put this up, do notrely on the algorithm to push
you this story.
Look for this story.
There are three teenage boysstomping this kid out to the
(33:00):
death and then, finally, ifthat's not enough, because the
guy is already practicallyunconscious, one of the students
, red polo shirt, grabs thisdude, lifts him up in the air
and slams him right on his face.
Now, if that's not a case ofattempted murder, I don't know
what is.
You see, these are the thingsthat cause people to become
(33:21):
vigilantes.
I'm a big believer in the factthat not everyone is a bad
person, but just as you can turnan innocent kid into a mass
crook by provoking him orbullying him or whatever the
case is, the same can be true inthese stories with these
parents.
These parents are turning tothe school for support, for
(33:42):
comfort, but yet you're duckingaccountability, even if you told
the father yeah, we didn't dothe best we could regarding this
kid, but now we have to dosomething.
Moving forward, that's fine,but not acknowledging your
responsibility in this madness.
It's devastating for any parentand this is where the best of
villains come from.
(34:03):
Now, now, back here in tiktok,live I see that some of my old
pals have joined in.
This is my buddy Vaughn here.
They should have reaped whatthey sow, and I think that that,
eventually, is going to be theoutcome In this video.
Though, when you guys do lookat this video on this short, I'm
going to put the link in thedescription because TikTok won't
let me upload it.
Please know that it isdefinitely graphic and there
(34:26):
might be some viewer discretionneeded.
I just can't believe that thisis just how far the school
system has literally slippedaway in connection with caring
about the students and makingsure a child feels safe versus
trying to cover everything up.
In our following story, we arecontinuing down that same path
(34:47):
of assault and violence.
It seems today that everyone isviolent.
Everyone wants to be heard orwants to be seen, and in this
next story it definitelyhighlights that Three students
arrested for recent assault ofanother student at local middle
school.
Three juveniles are facingcharges in connection with an
assault last week at McAuliffeMiddle School in the Newcastle
(35:10):
area.
Delaware State Police saidFriday that an investigation
determined that a 13-year-oldstudent was assaulted and struck
in the head with a heavy metalmug, known as a Stanley Cup,
last Friday, february 28.
The victim needed hospitaltreatment for serious injuries
to her head.
Two 13-year-old girls arecharged with assault, possession
(35:32):
of a deadly weapon, conspiracyand disorderly conduct.
They were arraigned in familycourt and released on $7,500
unsecured bond.
The 12-year-old male suspectwho is accused of striking the
victim with his hands werecharged with a misdemeanor
offense.
The victim with his hands werecharged with a misdemeanor
(35:52):
offense.
So in this story, if you guyscan fathom it, three students,
two girls, one boy the two girlsdecide to pistol whip another
student with a Stanley mug andthen the boy, because he has to
get his just desserts, decidesto attack this student.
Now, the interesting thingabout this is this is a little
(36:14):
girl.
So you're telling me it tooktwo girls, a Stanley Cup and a
full grown practical boy,because a teenage boy at 13 is
that's just damage, right thereto apprehend or to fend off this
girl.
Let's just say she was a bully.
For goodness sake, what'swhat's wrong with these kids
today?
(36:34):
Like I'm gonna just turn to mylive for a minute and just and
just vibe out, because I don'tknow if you guys are noticing it
too, that these, the kids today, have a stronger sense of
violence, like there is a lotmore aggression with kids today
than there's ever been before.
Oh, sharita, it's good to seeyou, mrs howard, as it were.
People wonder why some parentsare nervous and scared to have
their children in these schools,not knowing what's going to
(36:56):
happen.
I couldn't agree with sharitamore.
I couldn't.
You know we're, we're schoolbus drivers.
You know they grow, oh, theygrow up with violence.
You know that's a good point,bond, I think.
But you know, sometimes too,guys, it's not that the kids are
growing up only with violence,because you do have those that
are growing up with violence,but you also have students that
(37:18):
just they, they love, right, thetv, the video games, and and
then it just molds their mindand their thinking.
And the next thing, you know,it's just, it's just game over
for these kids, it's just, it'stragic man, I just oh, my
goodness.
And then the thing, you know,it's just game over for these
kids, it's just, it's tragic man, I just, oh, my goodness.
And then the parents you knowyou want to start a family, you
want to be able to grow thatlove you have with your partner
(37:39):
and create this little baby,child that the stork dropped off
on the porch, but then littleJohnny or little Ricky at school
wants to stomp the little babyout.
It's just.
It's the tragic.
It's just tragic, man, it'stragic, but there are things, as
we've mentioned again, that youcan do to cope with the
circumstances.
Guys, remember, vengeance isnot the answer.
(38:00):
This is a theme that I've beentrying to teach my coworkers at
work.
Everything with them is tit fortat.
You do something to me, I'mgoing to do something to you,
but the reality of the situationis this we don't need to
retaliate, we don't need to giveviolence to every sort of
injustice, because that doesn'tget anything fixed.
(38:22):
It just amplifies an alreadyunsolved problem.
That's just really thecircumstances.
Here's another comment from Live.
So glad I got to go to analternative school.
I believe that's what that says.
There the difference was rightand night and day, rather, I've
only seen one fight in just twoyears.
Well, I can definitely saythat's a blessing in itself,
(38:46):
because people today just don'thave that love and care anymore.
They will literally have youapprehended and still want to
invoke violence upon you.
This next story highlights justhow much a parent can influence
a child.
Again, guys, tiktok is notgoing to allow me to upload this
video, but it is one that willinclude a description of the
incident and what you will findwith this next story.
Guys, I am telling you toplease check this story out on
(39:10):
my TikTok page when it'suploaded, and even now you can
be able to just follow along inthe headlines if you do.
A Google search Video shows amother and a teen fighting an
eighth grader on a school bus.
Warren Township police areinvestigating after two
unauthorized family membersboarded a middle school bus and
physically fought with a student.
(39:31):
School officials confirmed theincident occurred on Thursday
morning while students werebeing picked up for school.
Two family members of a studentan adult female and a juvenile
female boarded the middle schoolbus and began hitting an eighth
grader.
A report taken by WarrenTownship School Police says

No further information isprovided in the police report or
in the school's statement.
(40:58):
However, a video shared onFacebook appears to capture the
incident on camera.
When I saw this particularvideo, I could not believe just
how much went into the whoopingof this student.
This student here, our sourcessay, was punched at least six
(41:22):
times.
The hoodie was thrown over hishead and the two females walked
toward him and just theyliterally pummeled this guy.
And the sad thing about it isis that people don't even fear
the camera anymore.
When you guys watch this video,you're going to be able to see
as to how brazen the mother'sconduct is.
When she recognizes that thereare people who are filming this,
(41:45):
she encourages them to film itbecause she just doesn't care.
Back on TikTok Vaughn says hereviolence begets violence.
Yeah, I mean, there's nowhereproven that violence solves any
problems.
Like, violence is not theanswer, it never was and it
never will be.
And when people realize that, Iguess there will be a
(42:08):
progression of moving forward,but until then, you know, people
are going to continue to handletheir problems the way they
think they should.
But my viewers and listeners,those who listen to this podcast
regularly, guys, rememberviolence is not going to do
anything for you.
But if you stay proactive andyou surround yourself with
healthy influences and youcommunicate with your parents
(42:31):
and you get the help that youneed, you can ward off these
dark times victoriously.
Yeah, this comment here fromTikTok Live they were probably
getting revenge.
It's possible.
I mean, in the video I willtell you, guys, that it seemed
like this had been bullying.
(42:51):
It seemed like the family hadgotten on the bus to help this
kid deal with bullying.
But even worse, the bully isnow off the spotlight and the
parents are the ones.
That's on the spotlight.
That's really, you know, that'sreally the sad part about this
story.
If they wanted to get justicein connection with the bullying,
(43:12):
they should have did somethingdifferent.
They should have tried to dosomething a little bit different
.
Here's our following story, ourfollowing story.
I've been saying our a lot andI'm really trying to get away
from that, because that is notthe proper way to pronounce the
word our.
It's true, when you're speakingthe English language, you have
(43:34):
to move all of your mouth to beable to enunciate these words.
Our following story Educatorsat Stearns Elementary School are
on leave amid allegationsstudents were placed in a
bathroom to de-escalate.
Several educators at StearnsElementary School have been
(43:54):
placed on paid administrativeleave following allegations that
children were placed in timeout in a closed bathroom in
violation of district and stateregulations.
In a letter to families,superintendent Joseph Curtis and
Stern's principal, sarahLuciani was made aware on
February 26 that staff in twoclassrooms room 1 and room 7,
(44:20):
were using a classroom bathroomin room 7 as a place for
students to de-escalate.
Curtis said Lucianiinvestigated immediately and
informed district administrators, who filed a 51A report with
the Department of Children andFamilies.
That number refers to thechapter of state law mandating
that educators and othersworking with children report
(44:43):
their suspicion of abuse orneglect.
The investigation andallegations come as the city
schools are working to overcomemultiple challenges, including
allegations of misbehavior bystaff at Pittsville High School
and Superintendent JosephCurtis' unexpected resignation
(45:03):
announcement.
Last month.
A parent of one of the students, speaking on condition their
name not be used, told the Eaglethat the incidents took place
in an inclusive classroom atStearns.
Complaints have been filed withPittsfield Police and the State
Department of Children andFamilies, the parent added.
The parent mentioned thatmultiple parents reached out to
(45:27):
police.
Pittsfield Police Chief ThomasDawley confirmed that officers
were dispatched to Stern Schoolto assist on February 28th.
He quotes this quote.
Rather, this is an ongoinginvestigation and has been
referred to another agency.
The parents said that they weretold that an educator held the
(45:48):
door handle so their child couldnot exit.
The interesting thing aboutthis story this parent goes on
to express something veryserious.
She says here that for a childwith special needs, the trauma
of being held in an enclosedspace lasts well beyond the time
spent there.
And she's right.
(46:08):
Now this child is going toconnect this trauma, this
traumatic incident, every timethey need to go into a bathroom.
This investigation is stillongoing and so far no charges
have come up in connection withthese administrators.
They still are currently on apaid leave.
For me personally, I'm not goingto say this show influences
(46:32):
whether I have kids or not, butit does influence how I provide
guidance to principals,administrators, students of all
ages, whether that be elementaryschool, high school, private
school.
Whatever the circumstance,there is a lot going on in
schools and a lot of parentsaren't aware of it.
A lot of parents think thateverything is just
(46:52):
do-do-do-do-do and they can gointo.
Their child will go into schooland everything will be great
and fine.
But the reality, guys.
Teachers lack empathy.
The empathy of a teacher isgone.
That's not all teachers, ofcourse, but the average teacher.
You remember, back in the day,a teacher was a safe haven.
(47:13):
A teacher was a refuge, someonethat you can rely on.
But that's not the case anymore.
A teacher is no longer alwaysthat refuge or protection.
Well, we do wish the victims awell and speedy recovery and we
hope that the parents are goingto be able to get through this
circumstance as best that theypossibly can.
(47:34):
Powerful story, very, verypowerful story.
In this following story, notehow one teenager was stopped or
foiled from a very dangerousattack.
Police arrest teen and seizeguns after online threats to

airsoft weapons and an airsoftvest.
They also seized a laptop,iphone, a knife and a notebook
from the house.
The Sentinel reported SanfordPolice Chief Cecil Smith said
the 17-year-old was quicklyidentified as the person in the

(49:24):
homeland Security, the FBI andSeminole County Public Schools.
Superintendent Sarita Baymonsaid I am so thankful for the
collaborative work andrelentless dedication of all the
agencies involved in bringingthis incident to a conclusion.
(49:45):
No further information inconnection with this particular
story, but we do know that thisis something that has continued
on throughout the school systemin America and many persons in
other countries tune into mypodcast and they ask me what in
the world is wrong with America.
And I tell them listen, I'm notthe one out there, you know,
harboring mass weapons ofviolence and destruction.
(50:06):
That's not how I roll, but myheart does go out to you, dear
ones.
If this is your particular highschool those of you who are
catching this TikTok short orthis YouTube short let us know
here.
We love to hear back from youand RAD podcasting.
Did you know this student?
Is this someone that wastalking about doing something
(50:27):
like this in the past couple ofmonths?
Or, you know, sometimes youdon't get any indication that a
student is trying to inflictviolence on a school.
But it's just crazy man.
It's just so much aggression,violence and anger in the world
today that people just don'tcare about it.
We wish you guys all the bestdown there in Florida and hope
(50:47):
that you're going to be able toget past this emotionally
difficult set of circumstances.
In this following story, noticehow one four-year-old decided to
use the emergency hotline forhis own devices.
Wisconsin four-year-old getsfrosty surprise after calling
cops on mom for eating his icecream.
(51:08):
This Wisconsin kiddo is icecold.
An adorable four-year-old boycalled authorities on his mother
for the crime of eating his icecream, leading to a frosty
surprise from a pair of localcops last week.
The tot, who lives in thevillage of Mount Pleasant,
dialed 911 Tuesday in hopes ofgetting his dessert-swiping
(51:29):
mother in the clink.
Getting his dessert swipingmother in the clink, my mom is
being bad.
He told a county dispatcher.
According to audio obtained bywcax, come and get my mommy,
come and get my mommy.
As the dispatcher tried tofigure out what the problem was,
the boy's mother grabbed thephone and explained why she was
(51:50):
in trouble.
I I ate his ice cream, sothat's probably why he's calling
911, she said as the boycomplained in the background.
Following the call, mountPleasant police officers stopped
by the house, where theyoungster had a change of heart.
He told them he was stillpeeved, he didn't have any ice
cream but didn't want to see hismother go to jail for it.
(52:11):
The next day the officersvisited the house again, this
time with some of the icy treat.
A photo released from thevillage department showed the
two cops standing with the childas he held a couple of cups of
ice cream with blue sprinkles.
I think it's really cool thatthis kid decided to take matters
into his own hands.
(52:32):
You know he knew his motherbroke the law of the house,
right?
You know she stole his icecream or took the ice cream and
he says that's okay.
I'm used to parents saying goahead, call Dyfus, it is what it
is.
But this dude literally pickedup the phone and said 911, the
woman stole my ice cream.
And it's the cutest thing.
In this photo photo you see thecops with the kid.
They brought him ice cream thenext day and I think that's
(52:53):
pretty cool, man, that you knowthe cops could have just left it
at that.
They could have scolded him for, you know, misusing 9-1-1.
But the kid's heart was in theright place.
He saw that there was anemergency.
He stuck to the fact that hewanted to get things rectified
and he went through and called9-1-1.
So I thought that was, uh waswhat a very nice story to be
able to share with you guys thisepisode amid all of the dark
(53:15):
stories we've discussed thispast hour.
And back on TikTok Live.

(57:52):
hot topic of conversation todayis flying.
A lot of people have beenhijacked mentally by the news
because the news keeps reportingthese plane crashes and in this
next story I found it to bequite gripping that they are
reporting an incident thathappened on a plane, but it is
not by far, or it is not by far,I guess it is by far.
(58:15):
Well, I will just tell you thisthis is not a plane crash story
, but it is just, if not more,as serious.
Flight attendant pleads guiltyto secretly recording a
14-year-old girl in planebathroom.

According to investigators, thegirl got up to use the main
cabin lavatory nearest to herseat during a September 2, 2023
flight from Charlotte to Boston,but found it was occupied.
Thompson told her thefirst-class laboratory was
unoccupied and escorted herthere.
Investigators said she toldinvestigators that before she
(59:21):
entered the bathroom, thompsontold her he needed to wash his
hands and that the toilet seatwas broken broken.
After he left, the teen enteredthe bathroom and saw red
stickers on the underside of thetoilet lid, which was in the
open position.
Officials said with the wordswritten in black ink and all
caps an operative cateringequipment Removed from service
(59:47):
and seat broken.
Beneath the stickers, thompsonhad concealed his iPhone to
record a video.
Investigators said the girlused her phone to take a picture
of the stickers and concealediPhone before leaving.
Prosecutors also alleged thattheir investigation turned up
hundreds of images in Thompson'siCloud account of child sexual
(01:00:09):
abuse and generated throughartificial intelligence, as well
as the images of the four othergirls captured on earlier

They were ages 7, 9, 11, and 14.

supervised release, a fine of upto $250,000 and restitution.
Thompson is scheduled to besentenced June 17th.
Now, when you guys look at this,uh, the picture of what Mr
Thompson did, of what MrThompson did, I can't believe.
(01:01:17):
I can't believe that he reallythought he was going to be able
to get this off.
He took his iPhone, flipped itupside down, taped it to the
back seat of the toilet and thenhe wrote with a magic marker
which wasn't magic at all,because he got caught and wrote
on this seat not operative, andI just can't believe that this
guy would do this, like you're aflight attendant and you're
(01:01:39):
literally recording little girlsin the bathroom.
I, just when you think you'veseen it all on this show guys,
you literally have not.
To the families of these girls,we can't express how sorry we
are that you guys experiencedthis.
True, there was a settlement,and so there was a monetary
compensation, but the emotionaldamage that these girls are
(01:02:01):
going to have to deal withmoving forward in their lives is
insane, and so we do want toexpress that.
We hope that you guys, as afamily, recover and that this
does not damage your view offlying in or at all.
In general, we wish you guysthe best as you continue to move
forward.
Now, going back to tiktok live,because we're doing this thing

He's one of the guys that werethere when I had, you know,
double digit followers on TikTok, and now I just think it's just

really cool that you know he'shere with us for this episode.
This is episode number 116.
And I'm really happy that theshow is progressing thus far.
It's been going strong, it'sbeen going great, and a lot of
my followers are complainingthat I never go on live and blah
, blah, blah and merch shirt,this, merch shirt, that, and I'm
(01:03:06):
like okay, so every Thursdaywhen I do this show, from now on
forward, this show will be live.
It'll give everyone anopportunity to catch this show.
I think it'll be a lot of fun.
I think that this is going tobe a lot of fun and I've loved
being here with you guys thispast hour or so.
Yeah, maybe, if you startcommenting on my videos, bro,
(01:03:27):
that'd be great.
You know what I mean.
Well, guys, we have reachedthat final story of this episode
and it has been a wonderfulride being able to discuss all
school news with you guys.
Now, every week usually I do 10stories only because that's an
hour, that's my runtime, andthen I just get up and I go.
But today was so special.
We went live, we had peoplecome in, we got new followers,
(01:03:49):
we're growing to the 2000s andso I said you know what I'm
going to.
There's so many good storiesthat we can share.
This week I'm going to up it toabout 16.
And man, oh man, I am missingthose 10 stories and episode.
Here is our final storyAntelope High student 14, cited
after allegedly kicking schoolstaff member.
Sheriff says A high schoolstudent in Sacramento County has
(01:04:14):
been cited after they allegedlykicked a staff member during a
fight on campus.
The Sacramento County Sheriff'sOffice says early Monday
afternoon two students atAntelope High School got into a
fight.
Exactly what led up to thefight has not been detailed by
authorities, but deputies allegethat the primary instigator was
a 14-year-old student.
(01:04:34):
A deputy who was assigned tothe school for the day, along
with staff members, separatedthe fighting student At one
point during the incident.
The sheriff's office says aschool staff member was kicked
in the groin by the 14-year-old.
Deputies have cited the studentfor battery against a school
employee and other charges.
The sheriff's office saysSchool officials will decide
(01:04:57):
whether more disciplinary actionwill be taken.
So in this episode there hasbeen a lot of 14 year old
madness.
If you look at the range of thestories that I've covered in
age, the youngest was 12 on thisweek's episode and the oldest
was 14.
What's up with the teenagerstoday?
(01:05:18):
Is it the milk?
Is it poor upbringing?
Is it the raising?
Like what?
What is it that makes ateenager want to kick someone in
the groin Like I couldn't evenfathom kicking an adult, mostly
because my mother wasn't havingit.
Today there is no parental fear.
You know that used to be athreat back in the day.
Oh, I'm going to call yourmother.
(01:05:39):
Yeah, don't.
But today the kids encourageyou to call the parents because
most of the time the parentsdon't care and in cases where
parents do care, they'reunavailable, they're working two
jobs, they're working threejobs, and so I do find that it
is going to be an interestingroad for this student, because
this could lead to assault.
If the teacher takes it or thestaff member takes this to the
(01:06:01):
police, that's that school.
That student could be facingsome serious charges.
Well, guys, that was our finalstory in connection with this
episode.

protect yourself?
