Well, maybe the 3 yr old ASKED "family member, 34-year-old" V.C. to put the loaded gun into his backpack. After all, Monday is ---

SHOW-and-TELL day./ sarc

Seriously, glad that no one was shot.

Interesting that Richmond PD charging the 34 y/o ID'ed the man as a "family member."
Seems unlikely to be brother of a 3 y/o, but possible.
Did not say father or parent, did not say a member of, resident of, or visitor to the 3 y/o's household.
This man could also have been an uncle, cousin, in-law, etc.
 
I think that we have all seen it from the beginning. But the rest, is horrific. Absolutely criminal behavior. A teacher, bleeding from a GSW, and supervision stays locked behind a door?! What the heck?!
And did you read the part of the Grand Jury report where when Ms. Zwerner went to tell the Asst. Principal that the child was being aggressive, the Asst. Principal NEVER LOOKED UP from her computer and didn't respond until the teacher left. What is up with that woman? Is she related to the child or something??

Also, that report is so well written -- kudos to whoever authored it. It reads like a thriller, but more terrifying because it really happened.

Parker was sick and tired of Abby complaining about the misbehaving 6 year old and likely did not really like her. Parker may have taken a special liking to this kid, he was one of her favorite students. So anything said against him wasn't appreciated. IMO only.
I can't believe that many people approached her, in one day, about the same thing, and not once did she think, hey I should look into this.

Yes, I definitely got that vibe as well (about her probably not liking Abby). And I also wondered if she was desperately trying to keep this kid off LE's radar for as long as possible. Which is a laudable goal, except this kid needed way more help than they could give him at that school and she did him a disservice by basically ensuring that he wouldn't get all the help he should have been given. MOO
 
Ebony Parker charged

.....
Ebony Parker, the former Richneck assistant principal who was indicted by a special grand jury on eight counts of felony child abuse — one count for each of the eight bullets that were in the gun used — was in court Monday and will face a jury trial in Newport News Circuit Court on the charges Feb. 19-20, 2025.

The special grand jury report said that Parker, “being responsible for the care of the student at the school, committed a willful act or omission in the care of said students in violation of Virginia Code: 18.2-371.1(B).”
 
@Simply Southern Thx :) for posting link to Spec.Gr.Jury rpt.

"B. Mini-Referral System" at p. 14 describes Richneck Elem. 2022-2023 procedures for reporting "student behavioral incidents" per Principal Foster. Some faculty described differently.
Basically takes 8 "behavioral incidents" (altho some may be minor) before info re student does into school's "Synergy" database.

Sequence.
"Acts up or misbehaves," teacher "warning."
Act up again, then teacher re-warns.
Next time, teacher writes "think sheet."
After 3 "think sheets," teacher writes "mini-referral" which goes to admin'tn.
After 3 mini-referrals, info goes into Synergy.

Per Dr. Parrott, a first "major" incident could be input into Synergy without mini-referrals.

Idea was to keep "minor" incidents off the student record.
Or was idea to discourage teachers from making & transmitting "behavior incidents" records?
Because they knew nothing would be done until
EIGHT "behavior incidents"??? IDK

If teachers write to report these incidents,
do teachers have TIME TO TEACH??? I wonder.

imo
 

What a horrifying report! My husband taught elementary school for 30 years, so I’ve known many school administrators. I cannot imagine any of them behaving as Ebony Parker did. What on earth is wrong with her?! Her job is to protect students and teachers. It’s as if she wanted something awful to happen.

Someone earlier wondered if she was related to or distantly connected somehow with this boy. I wonder the same thing. This is not normal behavior. Normal educator behavior is what my husband always said…he would give his life for his students.
