If parents work, the child is generally not qualified to receive social security checks, based on a parent's income. Children of working parents only become eligible for SSDI at 18.
The shooting happened inside a classroom so it is unlikely a school resource office could have prevented it. What appalls me is that students reported the gun and school administrators did nothing.Yes. Agreed. This is way beyond the scope that any teacher or school social worker can address.
I "get" parents not wanting their children in alternative classrooms. That said, one would expect the school administration to take a more rational approach especially since this kid had almost a two year history of extremely violent behavior.
Its strange ..this kid's tenure at school coincided almost exactly with the administration's desire to get rid of RSOs and LE on campus and they went full fledged restorative justice. Imho
ETA. There are still no RSOs on campus at least as if a January article. (I know Denver schools were entertaining the return of RSO's after their East End shooting. They had voted to have them removed so as not to add to the school to prison pipeline).
No school resource officer for Richneck as students set to return
There will be a heavy police presence when students return to class Monday at Richneck Elementary School, but it will continue to not have a school resource officer, according to Newport News Polic…www.wavy.com
It's possible, and in fact not unlikely IMNSHO, that she does not know who the father is, and if she does, never told him that she was pregnant, and if she did tell him, he's in prison or some other situation where he can't have contact.
I agree from a liability perspective.

Are you thinking of the case in Michigan with Ethan Crumbly? That school was notified he might have a weapon, if I recall correctly. I do not remember this happening in the case of the 6 year old.
I'm not sure if they are related. Hmmmm.
Both the VA and Nashville shootings took place in elementary schools. I think it is very rare to have RSOs in elementary schools.I disagree. Resource officers are responsible for a multitude of tasks beyond guarding the door. A school resource officer could have been notified of the possibility of a weapon on campus, had a RSO been in place. The school resource officer could have searched the child or called Law Enforcement to do so. LE confirmed that they were not notified until after the fact.
A good, trained RSO can be very helpful on campus:

Evidently, discipline issues were addressed pretty similarly across the board and teachers and staff were not happy about it.
From link:Schools face pressure to take harder line on discipline
Both anecdotally and according to federal data, instances of misbehavior have been on the rise since students returned to classrooms from the COVID-19 pandemicwww.tampabay.com
The latest example came this week in Newport News, Virginia, where teachers complained at a school board meeting that the school system where a 6-year-old shot his teacher had become too lenient with students. Students who assaulted staff were routinely allowed to stay in the classroom, they said, because of a misguided focus on keeping them in school.

There are several other links on these threads regarding staff's unhappiness regarding discipline going back two to three years.
That's a very common name, so it's possible, but less likely than, for instance, my own uncommon surname.

The closest thing I've ever seen to this was in the small city where I used to live, at an elementary school in a quiet middle-class neighborhood - a school that was on permanent lockdown with a guard whom I am pretty sure was armed, at the entrance. That's because it was the school attended by children that age who lived at the local domestic violence shelter, and the guard was there whether any shelter kids went there or not.
I can see that happening under those circumstances in order to keep the children safe from their abuser. Especially now that Courts are deciding the gun ownership rights of the abuser are protected priority rather than the safety of the child.

Bbm. Understood. I was just responding to your point that an RSO couldn't have helped because the shooting occurred in the classroom. An RSO could have prevented this altogether. Imho
I don't think I've heard mention that this child is suffering from FASD. Maybe I missed it.
(Snipped for focus) The original poster was hypothesizing on a social media account of someone with the name of the mother who worked a ways away, hence the long drive. Later they withdrew that connection, because the account was likely not her.
