Boy beats up girl At The local high school!!!! Where’s The teachers and security?
And I know when people come on my swell, they're going to want to discuss the racial part of it, and we can discuss the racial part of it. I'm just not because I just don't have the headspace for that at this present moment. But I'm going to say, as I always say, please be respectful with your comments on here. We can agree to disagree and

So I get that. But I think this was just a failure. It was a failure of society, right? Because our children are so desensitized to violence that they was just standing there watching it. It was a failure on the adults in the school to step in and try to stop it. It was a failure on this boy's parents for him to even hit a girl. It was a failure on this girl's parents that whatever transpired at first, that she didn't just walk away

That type of situation. That only gets worse as he gets older. I hope she got some older brothers and I swear I hope her daddy is involved in her life because he deserve everything he got coming to him. The fact that he took off his shirt and fought that girl like a grown man is a problem, a real problem. Yes. We do not hold the strength that they have, but the fact that he took out all that aggression on her once she was down, she was down

So that's desensitized right there because you don't care. Like I told her, a crime is being committed before your eyes. She said, well, what crime, mom? I said assault. That's assault. And she's like, oh, well, I felt horrible because that's not how I raised her. But in high school, they just don't care. It's different than when we went to school where you could get paddled by the PE

So I'm like, you need to hear a backstory. There is no back. There's almost nothing that someone could do to you that should have you stomping them out like that unless they put their hands on your mama, especially not a young girl. So he's like, I definitely understand that. I definitely would have done something about it. I would not have just stood there and recorded

But this today, I didn't even watch the video because I know it's going to be very upsetting. If I see him stomping her, I'm going to want to go off. But anyway, yes, ma'am. I did ask my daughter because I was like, what is up with you all? You don't have any empathy or sympathy for these people? She's like, It's not my business. I said, okay, all right. Well, that's that then

And they said even the way he walked off, like he wants to be a part of hip hop culture. And he called the girl a nigga. And so they were saying that that word shouldn't be used. And so this black man, there was a black man saying it, and another black man was like, well then we shouldn't use it. If you don't want other people to use it, then we shouldn't be using it

And I'm not excusing him by any means. By any means. I'm just saying, like, you just never know. And these children are dealing with a lot nowadays. They have to deal with bullying, and it's 24/7. We talked about this in another swell, it's 24/7. They have to deal with drugs and peer pressure, you know what I'm saying? They have been desensitized to violence, to killing and violence

And so thank you all for sharing your story. Thank you all for being vulnerable enough to allow yourselves to share your story on here so that people can see that God will heal you. He'll bring you out. He'll cover you and keep you and protect you while you're in it. He'll bring you out. And then he'll heal those wounds, and he'll help you to love again. Y'all be blessed and a good night. Bye

And he should have criminal charges pressed against him. Absolutely. He should have criminal charges pressed against him, but he should definitely be expelled from their school system. Meaning he can't come back to any school in that city whatsoever. If he's got to be home schooled, if he's got to go to reform school, or whatever they do now, alternative education, whatever they do these days, do what you got to do, but he will not be allowed in our school district ever again
