• 4:29
  of the way. These are just a few of the resources that I found
• 4:33
  with regards to African American and black specific mental health resources. Any other resources
• 4:40
  that I may come across, I will definitely UM speak on or I will
• 4:45
  post some on my Facebook page because I do want black men and black women
• 4:49
  to know that there is help out there for us. You know, as
• 4:53
  much as they say, oh, there's no resources, um. As you

• 5:00
  out to with regards of trying to get help for your mental because I want
• 5:05
  to see all of us heal I want to see all of us get better.
• 5:10
  You know, I understand it's easier said than done, but just know
• 5:15
  that I know exactly what you're going through. I feel you, I love
• 5:18
  you, and just know that it will get better. And just know that
• 5:24
  black mental health does matter. It may not matter to you, but it
• 5:28
  absolutely matters to me. So uh, y'all already know what I do before
• 5:33
  I start my show. Y'all know, I always play something motivational, something
• 5:40
  encouraging, because you never know what a person is going through. You don't
• 5:43
  know what a person is feeling. So I always try to play something to
• 5:47
  keep you uplifted, to keep you encouraged, to keep you empowered, to
• 5:51
  keep you uplifted. Y'all let me know if y'all can hear me. See,
• 5:55
  just like I gotta figure out this microphone, like I don't know,
• 5:58
  like it's I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna fix it and get it together.
• 6:02
  So before we jump into tonight's show again, I'm definitely doing my mental
• 6:09
  health check in. So don't forget drop in a comments and let your girl
• 6:12
  know how you're feeling today. Like I said, today's Thursday. We're one
• 6:15
  day away from the weekend. What are your plans for the weekend? I
• 6:18
  think me, I'm just gonna relax some, not do too much. I
• 6:24
  don't know. We'll see, go hang out with my kids, just do
• 6:28
  a little something something. I don't know just yet. But let's go ahead
• 6:31
  and jump into video and then I'll be ready to jump into tonight's conversation.
• 6:41
  I want to encourage somebody out there who's thinking about quitting and giving up,
• 6:47
  somebody who has been praying for years for thing. You should turn around.
• 6:55
  You're thinking about quitting, you're thinking about giving up. You are folding,
• 7:00
  you are caving in. This is for you. You're in this storm and
• 7:06
  you're down on your knees and you're cold and you're weak, and you feel
• 7:12
  like this is the end. You have a choice to either give up or
• 7:17
  keep going, give up or get up. Don't give up, don't give
• 7:26
  up, stay in it, stay focused. When you fail, try again
• 7:35
  and again and again. You just take one step at a time. It's
• 7:44
  hard, but it's worth fighting. It is worth believing. It's worth mustering
• 7:50
  yourself up, standing up inside yourself. It's worth fighting relentlessly, never giving
• 7:56
  up. I love the sun, but things don't grow because of the sun.
• 8:01
  You have to have some rain, and you've got to stop looking at
• 8:05
  rain in your life as something bad. My greatest moments didn't come from my
• 8:11
  greatest moments. My greatest moments came for my greatest defeat, because it was
• 8:16
  doing my defeat that I had to find a way to get back up.
• 8:22
  You know, for one minute that you broke from me, you got me
• 8:26
  twisted. I am not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally will. I will not
• 8:33
  give up. I will not to runder. I will not quit. God
• 8:37
  stop, God stop, coach, Stop running toward your dreams. Stay incouraged,
• 8:46
  Stay incourage, keep your head up, stick your chest out. Can
• 8:52
  cheat to walk reply and know if it was easy, everybody would do it.
• 8:56
  It's not gonna be easy, but we have but it cakes. They're
• 9:01
  rough times. I'm gonna come, but they have not come to stay.
• 9:03
  They have come to pass. Don't say I'm having a bad day, Sam,
• 9:09
  I'm having a character building day. Don't look at night at darkness.
• 9:13
  Look at night as a new beginning. All right, And y'all know,
• 9:41
  as always I always send some type of love, some type of encouragement,
• 9:48
  some type of empowerment. But whatever you're going through whatever storm you are standing
• 9:54
  in the midst of. Just you know, it doesn't rain always. You're
• 9:58
  always, always, always, always make it through the storm. So again
• 10:05
  dropping a comments, let me know how you're feeling today. You know,
• 10:07

• 10:09

• 10:13
  I love you in case no one has told you that today, I'm proud
• 10:18
  of you. I'm proud of wherever you are in your life because I know
• 10:22

• 10:26

• 12:18
  A Black Girl interrupted. Y'all know it's your girl, Ashley, a favorite
• 12:22
  girl, friend of five old, full baby, bringing y'all tight and spicy
• 12:26

• 12:30
  let's go, let's go. So tonight's topic kids, you need to learn
• 12:35
  to stay in a child's play. So let me tell y'all what prompted me
• 12:43
  to do this topic tonight. So I'm scrolling on social media and I come
• 12:50
  across this video what is girl is fighting her teacher behind a cell phone.
• 12:58
  So at first I was I was angry at the teacher because I had like
• 13:01
  I came in and caught like the end of it. So when somebody finally
• 13:05
  uploaded it on he was on TikTok or something like that, I saw the
• 13:11
  whole video and then what saddened me was the parents that defended the behavior of
• 13:18
  this child. So it made me stop and think for a moment and say,
• 13:24
  bag, if that had a been me acting like that at the school,
• 13:33
  baby, let me tell you somethingbout Joan, my MoMA before he level,
• 13:37
  but bad, bad, she got the soul of a six foot woman.
• 13:39
  Do you hear me? Joanne would have came and without my ass in
• 13:43
  front of everybody, kids, students, faculty, Baby, everybody would have
• 13:48
  taught if I would have been at that school acting the way that that young
• 13:52
  lady was acting. For those that have not seen the video, let me
• 13:56
  go ahead and roll the video, and then I want to jump back into
• 14:00
  the conversation. But again to nice conversation, is you need to learn to
• 14:03
  stay in a child's please, because some of these children out here twelve thirteen
• 14:07
  years old, and thank you grown. I'm gonna tell you right now,
• 14:09
  twelve thirteen years old, eight years old, you said to me like like
• 14:15
  you an adult. I'm gonna hand to you like an adult. So again,
• 14:18
  for those that have not seen the video, let me go ahead and
• 14:22
  roll it, and then we're gonna jump back into the conversation because I want
• 14:24
  to know your thoughts about this. Here we go right now in six Rockey
• 14:31
  Mound, police are investigating after a fight between a substitute teacher and a student.
• 14:35
  It was all can on video. Thank you for joining us. I'm
• 14:39
  Debra Morgan and I'm Gerald Owens. This fight was called on a cell phone
• 14:41
  camera by someone in the classroom. Since then, people have shared it more
• 14:46
  than eight hundred times on social media. WRS Destiny Patterson explains this all started
• 14:50
  over a cell phone? Are you gonna It started as an argument over a
• 14:58
  confiscated cell phone, and it quickly escalated. The scuple ended with substitute teacher
• 15:09
  xavier A. Steel and the unnamed student on the ground. Steele's hands appear
• 15:16
  to be pressing down near the student's head and the student screams. It's not
• 15:26
  clear why Steele took the student's phone. The FAI phone no place in class
• 15:33
  and then you're gonna go up there and jump on by teach. That is
• 15:35
  wrong. W r L obtained the district's cell phone policy, which says she
• 15:41
  was within her authority to take it if the phone was visible or the student
• 15:45
  was using it. The district's assistant superintendent says the employee has the right to
• 15:50
  quote reasonably restrain the student if they're attacked and can defend themselves to the point
• 15:54
  that they are free of the threat or attack. Betty Anderson is also a
• 15:58
  substitut teacher. If you have not gone into a school recently to see how
• 16:03
  the kids act, you would just be totally surprised at the disrespect some of
• 16:08
  them can render, but she says it shouldn't get physical as the adult,
• 16:14
  but you have to try to contain yourself. While police are using the word
• 16:18
  assault, they have not announced any formal charges against either the substitute teacher or
• 16:22
  the student. The district says that Steel has been working as a substitute teacher
• 16:27
  since last school year, and because the police and the school district are investigating
• 16:33
  the incident at this time, it's not clear what the punishments would be,
• 16:37
  if any at all. Destiny Patterson WRIL News, Rocky Mount. We first
• 16:41
  broke this story on WRIL dot com and through our news app. Right now,
• 16:45
  we have the full video posted right there for you, along with the
• 16:48
  school district's policies related to what happened. You know what, let me take
• 16:57
  me a deep brook, people, let me read some of the comments,
• 17:02
  and then because baby who lay see this is why I can't be a teacher,
• 17:11
  because I would definitely definitely would need bail money. But Ben, let
• 17:15

• 17:33

• 18:27
  I'm ready for a black male podcast to come back. That's what I'm waiting
• 18:30
  on. Now, come on, brother, you need to like, come
• 18:33
  on, I need you to go and run that back. But I'm gonna
• 18:37
  pose this question for those that are just tuning in, I am talking tonight
• 18:42
  about these children need to learn to stay in a child's place, like for
• 18:47
  real, for real, y'all, they're gonna my son. Okay, yes,
• 18:53
  that's my son. So Ja Corey, I'm so glad you tuned in
• 18:59
  because I death definitely definitely want your input on tonight's conversation. So here we
• 19:06
  go. So here we are. Tonight's topic is we are talking about you
• 19:08
  need to learn to stay in a child's place. So I want to know,
• 19:14
  y'all, who do y'all feel was wrong the teacher of the students.
• 19:18
  So for those that don't know, or for those that I've seen the video,
• 19:22
  I am speaking in regards to the substitute teacher. Up the I'm so
• 19:26
  sorry. Let me back up the instit The incident between the substitute teacher and
• 19:32
  the student um behind a cell phone, So we don't know what led up
• 19:38
  to the teacher confiscating the cell phone. But the student got I rate,
• 19:44
  walked behind the desk and as y'all saw from the video, um she charged
• 19:51
  at the at the teacher. She swung at the teacher. So the teacher
• 19:53
  started leaning on our heads like it was you know, what are your thoughts?
• 19:59
  Who do you feel us right or around? The teacher at a students,
• 20:02
  because when I saw this on TikTok, y'all, I saw a lot
• 20:06
  of parents that were defending what this little girl did. And let me say
• 20:11
  this, but the parents that defended this child's behavior, this lets me know
• 20:17
  right now that them children of fighting you at home, This lets me know
• 20:19
  that they're disrespecting you in the household. That's what this shows me. For
• 20:25
  you to condone a child. And if I'm not mistaken, I believe that
• 20:30
  this was the eighth grader, seventh or eighth grade. I believe eighth grade
• 20:33
  was in the right to step into the space of the teacher and your cousin
• 20:41
  at the teacher telling you or you're gonna give me my fucking phone bag,
• 20:45
  and then you swing And the teacher defended herself. That's exactly what she should
• 20:51
  have done. And it's in the policy. And she restrained a girl.
• 20:56
  And in the video you heard her say get a teacher, get a team
• 21:00
  to get a teacher. And then you had students that were on the teacher's
• 21:04
  side that said the little girl was wrong, the girl was wrong. Because
• 21:10
  what I don't understand this, why are you parents not being parents? Because
• 21:15
  again, when I was coming, if I would have went to the school
• 21:18
  and was trying to fight a teacher, let me tell you something, my
• 21:22
  mama would have been at the school and would have put her foot square dead
• 21:26
  in my behind in front of everybody, students and faculty. That's what my
• 21:32
  mamma would have been doing to me if I would have went to the school.
• 21:36
  I remembered the every first time y'all got into a fight at school.
• 21:38
  Oh babe, my mama came in clown cut up with me at school because
• 21:45
  I'm up at fighting because that's not the way she's raised it. But I'm
• 21:49
  at the school acting a fool. That's when parents were parents. And then
• 21:56
  you wonder why these teachers are leaving retiring because the level of disrespect towards authority
• 22:03
  is at an all time high. Baby, I don't know what happened to
• 22:07
  this generation. Mama's is forty and grandma, you know you got babies raising
• 22:15
  babies. You laughing, joking, and you're tickled at the behavior that these
• 22:19
  children displace till they get you in public and embarrass you. Now you shame't
• 22:26
  you start raising your children, start holding yourself accountable for your children's behavior.
• 22:32
  We wouldn't have these problems. And see the problem is now these days,
• 22:37
  the mama's is in their early forties, the child is this age, and
• 22:41
  then the child got a baby. Y'are not parenting no more, y'all.
• 22:45
  Two bites are trying to be friends, y'all, drinking and smoking with your
• 22:51
  children. And then when it comes time to show some y'all know the word,
• 22:59
  My mind just literal went blink when it's time to show some some form
• 23:03
  of discipline. These children don't respect you. They don't take you seriously because
• 23:07
  you've been so busy trying to be their friends more of a friend or less
• 23:11
  of a parent. And I can only speak for me, but that's the
• 23:17
  problem these days, y'all do not These children do not respect authority. Let
• 23:22
  me tell y'all, when they when they took when they started giving kids phone
• 23:25
  numbers and saying old call nine one one if your parents are whooping you.
• 23:29
  That's where the problem came in because whoopings didn't hurt nobody. We grew up
• 23:34
  just fa So let me happen to some of the comments. Okay, let's
• 23:40
  see, let's see. Let's see y'all. There go my son up.
• 23:44
  They're got my other brother. Let's get a ga. Good to see your
• 23:47
  brother, he says. Six. I agree with what the teacher did.
• 23:49
  She had ever right to defend herself. These kids that they act like they
• 23:52
  grown. You want to be grown. I'm gonna kick your ass like you're
• 23:56
  grown. Period. Period. That's the thing is these children twelve like in
• 24:04
  this video, you wanted you was big and bad, but once that teacher
• 24:10
  got you and restrained you, then you were crying, oh get off me,
• 24:12
  get off me, get off. But you poked her. You provoked
• 24:17
  this behavior, You provoked this reaction from this teacher. If you didn't want
• 24:22
  that dune, you should have left alone. First off, you don't need
• 24:27
  a phone in class anyway. You need to be focusing on your schoolwork.
• 24:32
  That's that's another issue. Phones need to be put away, and that's always
• 24:37
  been been a policy. You could have phones out in class and when they
• 24:41
  took them, guess what, your parents had to come pick it up at
• 24:45
  the end of the day. Then if they caught you again with it,
• 24:49
  they kept up. They kept it to the end of the school year.
• 24:57
  So Kim Folks says, He say, these demons understand clearly that if the
• 25:06
  parents try to discipline them, they could cause cps to get out of being
• 25:08
  disciplined. Shaking my head. Also, they know they could get away with
• 25:11
  this demonic behavior at the schools when the teachers can't do a damn thing to
• 25:15
  maintain order and discipline within the classroom. Shaking my head right right. But
• 25:22
  see parents instead of chat like, they laugh at this like it's almost like
• 25:29
  they get a kick out of this. I've seen videos, big brother,
• 25:33
  will you remember the video you sent me? He said. These kids are
• 25:37
  raised by adults that want to be their friends. Absolutely authority, absolutely so.
• 25:42
  My son says, Yeah, the teacher was right to defend themselves.
• 25:47
  Oh that my honey. Hey bait, I hope you're having a good night
• 25:49
  at work. I love you, God bless you. Who are so my
• 25:52
  son says. The reason kids like that are kids are the way that they
• 25:59
  act like, the way that they are is because parents are impatient to sit
• 26:02
  down and educate them on why they shouldn't act like that, right, they
• 26:07
  uphold that behavior. That's to me, that's a problem. So miss Linda
• 26:14
  says, hey, Miss Linda, she say, I agree. Kids are
• 26:17
  so disrespectful. My son says, parents are quick to beat their kids into
• 26:22
  submission rather than talk to them. So let me say this, It's only
• 26:27
  so much talking you can do. It's only so much talking you could do.
• 26:33
  Because when I was coming up and i'm i'm, I'm in my late
• 26:37
  part, we got spake. We got disciplined. If we were disrespectful,
• 26:45
  disrespectful, or we got somewhere and we acted out of character, we got
• 26:49
  disciplined for this. We were reprimanded for this. Grandparents, we had the
• 26:55
  community that was able to discipline us, reprimand us whatever we're y'all want to
• 27:00
  use. We had that. This is gone in this generation. We no
• 27:06
  longer have that anymore. Parents are even like parents. If you see a
• 27:10
  child doing something, are scared to say something to a child because the child's
• 27:15
  gonna be ready to fight you, and then the parents gonna be ready to
• 27:17
  fight you for even saying something so that we child. I remember when the
• 27:22
  community stuck together and you made sure that these children stayed out of trouble.
• 27:27
  That's what we had when I was coming up, you know, we had
• 27:33
  like if you got in trouble at school, you weren't talking on the phone,
• 27:37
  you couldn't go outside. Parents was taking away stuff that they knew you
• 27:41
  liked me. I liked talking on the phone and I liked going outside.
• 27:44
  So guess what when I got in trouble, I couldn't go outside, I
• 27:48
  couldn't talk phone the phone. My mama would take the phone out of my
• 27:52
  room. And if I went and snuck and got the phone, oh my
• 27:55
  mama was speaking aston didn't I tell you can be on the phone. Oh
• 27:57
  yeah, that's what my mama died. We were really truly disciplined back in
• 28:04
  the day. We had real rules and regulations. These parents act like they're
• 28:14
  afraid of their children. You'll brought these children into the worst. So why
• 28:18
  are you afraid of your child? But you raise them and you have to
• 28:22
  take accountability because you raised them that weak. You raise them that weak.
• 28:27
  So let me say this, if you don't get ahold of your children.
• 28:32
  Let me tell you who is a jail cell or the cemetery. That's where
• 28:34
  your children are gonna be if you don't get control of them right now,
• 28:41
  Right now, you don't get control of them, you either going to visit
• 28:45
  them in the cemetery or you're gonna visit them behind some balls. You make
• 28:48
  the choice, parents, what you want to do. So Miss Linda says
• 28:55
  parents are not being parents, they're trying to be friends. I'm telling you,
• 28:59
  miss Linda, I cannot stress that enough. That's the problem. These
• 29:03
  deeps. These parents are so focused on trying to be cool with their kids.
• 29:07
  They don't want the children mad at them and forget how to be parents.
• 29:12
  And then you defend this type of behavior. You go to the school
• 29:18
  and you're ready to fight the teacher, You're ready to fight the faculty.
• 29:22
  You got a problem, ma'am or sir, you got a real big problem.
• 29:30
  And then you wonder why we're losing good teachers because of this. There
• 29:33
  are these teachers are already overworked, they already underpaid, and then got to
• 29:37
  come to school and deal with your monster. Oh no, baby, I'd
• 29:41
  leave too. I would quit too. I would retire too. Because you
• 29:45
  know what, the faculty don't even back the teachers like they're supposed to.
• 29:51
  Now, let's weak that up, so let's get a ga says. I
• 29:56
  remember when I was a kid, and if we acted a fool in public
• 29:57
  or in school, I got my ass, then my dad would hand the
• 30:00
  phone to me and he would say, called the police. You got your
• 30:03
  ass, Perie. Let me tell you. My mamma was saying, you
• 30:08
  bet, if you call the police, you better call the cardinal too.
• 30:12
  Period. That's all it was until I went through my rebellious stays and I
• 30:18
  just thought I could. Yeah, then my mamma used to fight me.
• 30:25
  Yeah she did, because baby, I thought I was grown. Could nobody
• 30:29
  tell me nothing? Will the third say there was real consequences. I'm telling
• 30:37
  you back in the day. I'm telling you because everybody was involved. If
• 30:41
  he's if your neighbors or someone at the school. But see, big brother,
• 30:45
  going back to your staying on your comment, parents were involved with teachers.
• 30:52
  You'll get what I'm saying. They back the teachers. If the teacher
• 30:55
  called your mama or your daddy and say, hey, will was at school
• 30:59
  acting up? Mama was at the school up in front of the teacher.
• 31:03
  Okay, now what did you do? Parents were involved, They were more
• 31:07
  involved than their children's lives than they are now. Y'are too busy acting like
• 31:12
  y'all letting need the TV and social media raised your children. That's what y'all
• 31:18
  are doing. That's the problem. Y'all are not taking the time to parent
• 31:23
  your children. So Raphael said, these are the kids. Are the kids
• 31:30
  who grew up and was told they could call nine one one a CPS.
• 31:33
  You know what, I'm not gonna flame, Joel, get your brother,
• 31:36
  Get your brother in law right now. He said, get your brother in
• 31:41
  law, Jude. I know you seem Sis, get him right now.
• 31:45
  Cay Sis speak on the ignorance of some of these parents and students. Absolutely,
• 31:51
  she says, it's not an act. They truly fear what they ship
• 31:53
  out. But but you know, Sis, but that's their problem. Stop
• 32:00
  going to the clubs, stop running here and there, and stay home with
• 32:05
  your children. Be a mother, be a father to your children. This
• 32:07
  is what these children need. This is where these children are lacking. And
• 32:13
  then you depend when you're seeing your children a schools, you depend on the
• 32:15
  teachers. No, that's not the teacher's responsibility to chastise your job. That's
• 32:22
  your responsibility. That's the baby you laid down in head. But I guarantee
• 32:27
  you if they start charging these parents, I bet you the shild stop.
• 32:30
  I bet you that. I bet you said. I bet you if they
• 32:34
  start filing charges against these arrants. But the behavior, I bet you this
• 32:38
  was stop. I bet you this was stopped. And I forgot to post
• 32:44
  the update. So this here, the teacher and the student have both been
• 32:52
  charged with simple assault, y'all, both of them. They file charges on
• 32:57
  both of the teacher as well as the students. So a lot of people
• 33:00
  are are like, what the hell why if it's in your policy where it
• 33:07
  says there's a no cell phone policy, the teacher has the right to defend
• 33:14
  herself and restraint and restrain, but she got simple assault charges as well,
• 33:24
  the teacher as well as the student. Now, how you love that?
• 33:30
  How does that make sense to me? That you're saying that it is okay
• 33:39
  for a student to attack a teacher basically, so let me say this,
• 33:44
  So you're pretty much saying that a teacher can no longer defend themselves against students,
• 33:52
  that they're just supposed to stand there and take this I mean, you
• 33:59
  run up on me. I'm gonna get you exactly what you ran up and
• 34:01
  asked for. I'm gonna give it to you. I'm gonna give it to
• 34:05
  you. I promise, I'm gonna give it to you. I'm gonna get
• 34:08
  exactly what you asked for. And then we as parents don't support the teachers.
• 34:15
  You're mad at the teachers. When the teachers call and tell you your
• 34:17
  child is talking too much in class, you upset, be mad at yourself
• 34:27
  because you didn't reprimand your child and teach your child how they need, how
• 34:30
  they need to be acting in public. But see you don't do that,
• 34:35
  because see, they disrespect you behind closed doors, and they disrespect you in
• 34:39
  public. I've seen it, and ain't no way, ain't no way.
• 34:46
  One thing I can say about my children. My children have never gotten me
• 34:52
  anywhere in public and disrespected me. Never, Never one thing. I I
• 35:00
  got an old school mom, My mama raised my children. My children are
• 35:05
  respectful. They don't get nowhere and that crazy. They don't do none of
• 35:10
  that. I can count on one hand a number of times I've ever had
• 35:15
  to spank any one of my children one hand. I can count on one
• 35:20
  hand, and my son, maybe he could attest to that, but I've
• 35:28
  never had to spank my children. Maybe once or twice I popped their hand
• 35:30
  or some stop lead that alone. But my children have never gone to the
• 35:34
  school and acted up. Never. Never, My children have never acted like
• 35:44
  that. Shout out to the parents that are raised in phenomenal children. Shout
• 35:53
  out to y'all. I gotta give love and grace to y'all because I know
• 35:57
  it's hard. Shout out to the teachers. Shout out to the teachers,
• 36:04
  all the educators. I commend y'all. I take my hat off to y'all
• 36:13
  because y'all go through a lot but a little bit of money that they pay,
• 36:16
  y'all, and you have teachers really that are genuinely out here that really
• 36:21
  love what they're doing. My heart goes out to y'all because y'all don't deserve
• 36:27
  that. Jules say no, because he's speaking facts. Girl, I know
• 36:32
  it, your brother crazy. So Linda say, should have been done.
• 36:37
  That charged them. But they charged the student and the teacher, both of
• 36:42
  them simple assaults. They charged the teacher simple assault, and they charged the
• 36:47
  young lady under the juvenile law with simple assaults. So we'll see how that
• 36:52
  goes. So Javer says, as an educator, I see it from both
• 36:55
  sides, but I have to stand on my own arouse in a situation like
• 36:59
  this, you run up, baby, believe you me, you will get
• 37:02
  done up. I'll give you fair warning though, And that's exactly what the
• 37:06
  teacher did. The teacher told her gold like you know, she told her
• 37:09
  gone on, but the girl kept coming and coming and coming and coming,
• 37:16
  and then when she swung at the teacher, all hell broke blues. And
• 37:22
  you had some parents that would defending that. Jule says. Wow, Miss
• 37:30
  Linda say punk ass school districts, right, And then you wonder why we
• 37:34
  no longer have these good seasoned teachers. No wonder you'll see a revolving door
• 37:40
  every year because this is what these teachers go through, and it's disheart Let's
• 37:51
  get a ga, says preach sis. Javer. That was for you.
• 37:57
  Miss Linda say, you don't have the teacher's backs, right, and a
• 38:00
  lot of these parents don't either. But like I say, I remember parents
• 38:06
  and teachers. They worked together. Now again the parents get mad at at
• 38:13
  the teachers when the teachers call and say hey, so and so they're talking
• 38:20
  a little too much in class, or they send no tome, Hey,
• 38:23
  I need to have a meeting with you because I need to address some issues
• 38:27
  with your child. And then when the parents come to the school, ain't
• 38:30
  my baby. My baby ain't talking? Yes he is or yes she is.
• 38:32
  That's what they're doing. Stop believing that your children are angels, because
• 38:38
  they're not. Because let me tell you something. Children act a different way
• 38:42
  when they're away from their parents. And I can only speak for me,
• 38:45
  Ducie. When I was with my mamma, act like, you know,
• 38:47
  I had some sense. But when I'm out and about with my friends and
• 38:50
  I made my circle, I didn't act that same way around my mama.
• 38:55
  So don't never say what your children will and won't do. Stop say in
• 39:00
  that. So, Papa Falcon says the fourteen year olds that they have the
• 39:07
  mindset of an mindset of an eighteen year old a decade ago. They act
• 39:09
  grown before puberty, is right. But you know what, Papa Falcon,
• 39:15
  the parents encouraged that behavior. Parents encouraged that. Look at some of these
• 39:21
  posts that we see on social media. What these little girls are five and
• 39:23
  six years old and they got on these little hall to tops, and they
• 39:29
  all liked this, and they pictures and stuff. Parents encourage that your child
• 39:35
  is five years old, Why is your baby in a hall to top?
• 39:38
  Why is your baby dressing why? And y'all think it's cute. And then
• 39:45
  you have your sons dressed just like the men that you want. But y'all
• 39:49
  think that's cute. Y'all not ready for that conversation, because it's the truth.
• 39:55
  We see it far too often. You mamma, stopped dressing your sons
• 40:01
  like these men that you date, and you mothers stopped dressing your daughters like
• 40:07
  how you dress. Let these children be children. You'll get what I'm saying.
• 40:13
  Stop forcing them to grow up too fast, because we see that all
• 40:15
  the time. So you hit the nail on the head, pop a falcon
• 40:20
  with that one. So Raphael says, it starts at home. Some of
• 40:23
  these kids are acting out because mommy choosing a man over her kids, vice
• 40:28
  versa. And these parents are neglecting the mental mental issue. Signs Also they
• 40:34
  bay, don't even get me started on that. Don't even get me started
• 40:39
  on that. So Will says, if they start charging, stop start charging,
• 40:45
  cheat, start charging teachers from doing the right thing. We will see
• 40:49
  teachers quitting across the country. Right. I don't understand why did this teacher
• 40:55
  have charges filed against her and she was defending herself. We saw the Biddo
• 41:00
  saw the video. You saw the video. Everybody has seen the video.
• 41:05
  This little girl came in her space telling her what she gonna do. Nah,
• 41:13
  baby, you're not gonna tell me what I what I am, and
• 41:15
  what I'm not gonna You're a child. That's why tonight's topic is you need
• 41:20
  to learn to stand a child's place. Do y'all remember when we was growing
• 41:24
  up, baby, we couldn't sit under adults as children. Baby, you
• 41:30
  got that look all. You got that look, and you knew you had
• 41:35
  to get up and get and get from up under them adost when they was
• 41:37
  taught, you knew that. It's different, man, this this generation,
• 41:44
  it's so different. Hey, Diana, she says. The only thing I
• 41:49
  could think of, is there some sort of restraint protocol. Yes, So
• 41:52
  the restraint protocol was that you have the right to restrain a child until they
• 42:02
  no longer posed a fear or threat. So there was a restraint protocol.
• 42:08
  And if you look at it, if you go back and look at the
• 42:10
  video, you hear her telling them, get a teacher. Get it.
• 42:14
  So she's telling, you know, the student, please call another teacher while
• 42:16
  she has this little girl restraint. So she followed the protocol. And she
• 42:21
  had been a substitute teacher at that school. I want to say, I
• 42:23
  think they said like two or three years, so she was familiar at that
• 42:28
  school. So let's get it. Ga says, I have a thirteen year
• 42:31
  old son. I wish he would do some issue like that. I promise
• 42:35
  you I was served fine behind. I'm telling you we don't have parents like
• 42:39
  that, no more so. Jacaris says, all of this stems to neglectful
• 42:46
  parents, right, and that's what a lot and a lot of parents were
• 42:52
  saying, we gotta take some ownership for this. A lot of parents were
• 42:57
  like, we had to own this because guess what, it starts at home.
• 43:00
  The foundation starts at home, not at school. The foundation is right
• 43:07
  there in your house. So your children are a reflection of you. And
• 43:16
  a lot of people don't want to they don't want to own it. A
• 43:19
  lot of parents don't want to take accountability for that. And I know it's
• 43:22
  hard. I know it's difficult. I know that's that's a tough bowl to
• 43:25
  eat from. I know that's a tough pill to swallow. But parents,
• 43:30
  y'all, we have to take accountability because we are the foundation of our children.
• 43:37
  It starts right at home. We are our children's first teachers. We
• 43:45
  are, we are our teach our children's first teachers. We are. We
• 43:53
  teach them and we mold them and show them right from wrong. The teachers
• 44:00
  enhanced what we've done. While we're educating them at home. They're educating them
• 44:06
  outside the home. They're preparing them for the world, and we're helping as
• 44:10
  well. We're working together. It's it's a correlation. It's the rest of
• 44:13
  prostitute. But unfortunately teachers these days, they're not getting that from us no
• 44:17
  more. We're not backing these teachers. We're not holding ourselves accountable for our
• 44:25
  children's behavior because again, y'all starts at home, and y'all, a lot
• 44:31
  of y'all don't want, don't don't don't see that. A lot of y'all
• 44:35
  feel like, oh, my child is not doing yes he is, or
• 44:37
  yes she is. If I'm telling you I just saw your child cussing somebody
• 44:43
  out at the school, you need to handle that stop encouraging that behavior,
• 44:52
  because I've heard parents say or if your teachers say something to you, you
• 44:58
  tell them, you say something back. Y'all encourage this type of behavior,
• 45:00
  and then you get mad when it falls on you. Then you get mad
• 45:04
  when you got to go see your child behind boss. Then you upset because
• 45:07
  now you got to go see a child laid out of the cemetery because the
• 45:08
  same behavior that you encourage they took into the world. Now you encourage that
• 45:16
  type of toxicity. So now they've carried it into the world and they feel
• 45:21
  like they could do that to anybody. And guess what Now they're sitting behind
• 45:24
  boss or now they're laid out in the cemetery and you're now, you know,
• 45:29
  planning a funeral. Hey my tt She says, student was out of
• 45:37
  line. Absolutely, so, Papa Falcon says teachers don't get paid nearly enough
• 45:43
  for the service they're doing. Right, Districts are already on them about these
• 45:49
  children passing these standardized tests. That's one stress. Then you got these teachers
• 45:53
  when COVID hit that we're doing the hybrid schedule that we're running between the home
• 45:58
  and the campus. Then if they got sick, you tell them. You
• 46:04
  gotta use your ptil. These teachers are using their own money to purchase supplies
• 46:10
  for children. I get it. I know times are tough and we don't
• 46:14
  always have the money, but some of these teachers are actually doing this because
• 46:17
  this is what they enjoy doing. They love education, they love educating students,
• 46:24
  and they don't deserve this type of treatment that we see on a consistent
• 46:29
  basis. This is what we see, y'all. Every time we turn around,
• 46:34
  you're seeing a student attacking a teacher. If it ain't the teacher sleeping
• 46:37
  with the students, you're seeing the students attacking the teachers. Baby, we
• 46:40
  can't win flos. And in the school, Miss Linda say, just the
• 46:47
  child parents, so Jules says to you, javert, she says, and
• 46:53
  be waiting on the ingnan as parent. As soon as they show up,
• 46:55
  I'm going to close the fools. So because I don't play with kids.
• 47:00
  And that's how it be. Parents don't even know what's going on, and
• 47:05
  be ready to fight the teacher because you're taking a word of your child.
• 47:13
  You're taking a word of your child. You're not even giving the teacher a
• 47:17
  chance to even explain. You just automatically assume the teacher own you jumping all
• 47:23
  in the teacher face. Oh that's why I couldn't be a teacher. A
• 47:28
  school bus drop, I could nothing because baby the way, do I see
• 47:32
  why these teachers want to carry episcoals to school? I understand old heartedly.
• 47:37
  Now, hey, cousin, um, so let me answer that. So
• 47:44
  she said, did I see the mom's response? So let me tell you.
• 47:46
  So somebody posted that and then somebody turned around and said that that's that
• 47:52
  was not the mom. So I don't know if that was the truth.
• 47:55
  I don't know if that was the mom, if that was a friend.
• 47:59
  We don't know if that was something fake. But I know they've said that
• 48:02
  the mother has yet to respond. The mother has not come forward and made
• 48:06
  a statement, So we don't know. Oh, cousin say her mother stated
• 48:13
  that she does the same to her. Well, maybe maybe that was the
• 48:15
  mom. I know some people were saying that that was not the mom.
• 48:19
  I think some people, you know, some social media detectives, you know,
• 48:22
  did they little due diligence, and they said that they didn't feel that
• 48:25
  that was not the mom. So I don't know. Oh, I'll keep
• 48:30
  looking and if it you know, if it comes to comes to light out,
• 48:32
  y'all know, I'll definitely keep y'all updated. So Jule says, exactly,
• 48:37
  they're allowing these kids to I'm telling you. So Raphael says, gotta
• 48:42
  go headed back to word racial base. Love you and I hope you have
• 48:45
  a good night of work and I talk to you when you get off.
• 48:50
  So Dominique says her mom very much approved of the teacher's response and action.
• 48:54
  She didn't up told the child wrongdoing. Okay, send me that because I
• 48:59
  saw another post where they were like where the mom says, oh I do
• 49:02
  that to her something, So sendmit that one because I don't think I've seen
• 49:07
  that one. So Jules says, they are not allowing these kids to be
• 49:15
  kids. I don't know the last time I've seen a little girl with balls
• 49:19
  and barettes now was we've spent and spandi. It's just a sad situation all
• 49:23
  around. It's almost like, y'all they are sexualized, sexualizing these kids,
• 49:30
  these children. Again, you see mothers dressing their sons just like the men
• 49:36
  that they date. You see your parents dressing their daughters the way the mama's
• 49:42
  dressed, and they think it's too I see it on social media all the
• 49:45
  time, y'all. Every time I'm scrolling on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok,
• 49:49
  Twitter, I'm always seeing a little five year old girl with a halter tip
• 49:53
  with her the stomach cow and she's posed like this with her leg. I'm
• 49:58
  seeing this all the time. But again, this is they encourage this type
• 50:02
  of behavior. So Miss Linda says, I agree with the lady putting boyfriends
• 50:08
  and girlfriends first, only have time for themselves. We are losing our kids.
• 50:13
  And it's said charge the parents every time anything goes on at school.
• 50:15
  I agree with you because I'm telling you, if y'all start holding these parents
• 50:20
  accountable for how these kids at this school, I bet you this is all
• 50:22
  stop. I bet you it'll stop. But I bet you if these parents
• 50:30
  start controlling nature, you start disciplining your children, you won't have his pride.
• 50:37
  So Julia says, I see parents today party and club and smoking weed
• 50:39
  and literally hanging out with their kids. Parents have to do but and they
• 50:43
  do. But if you listen to some of these these these new generation parents,
• 50:49
  they're like, they want to be the cool mom. They want to
• 50:51
  be the mom that's like, let me tell you something I'm I don't give
• 50:55
  a damn if your child like me or not, because I'm not the parents
• 50:59
  that's here to be life. I'm here to love, nurture and provide for
• 51:07
  my children in a healthy way because I'm the foundation. It starts with me,
• 51:17
  it starts with the parents. You're supposed to set the groundwork for these
• 51:22
  children. That's what you're supposed to do. Ja Vera said the fuck wheel.
• 51:32
  So Diana says, I didn't think she was excessive in her restraining when
• 51:36
  she had her on the floor. I don't think the charge will stick.
• 51:39
  I hope it doesn't, because let me tell you that teacher, y'all.
• 51:44
  I wish I could have found because they did some updates, but they like,
• 51:47
  there's no videos or anything like that. But you had boopoo parents y'all
• 51:55
  that were advocating for the teacher and seeing that this child was wrong, even
• 52:01
  students that were in the classroom. One of the students they will not name
• 52:05
  it, of course, because they're juveniles that actually recorded it, said they
• 52:09
  just said they wouldn't gonna help the girl because she was wrong. They said
• 52:14
  this girl provoked the situation. So we don't know again what prompted the phone
• 52:21
  to even be confiscated. Like, we don't know, so I think we're
• 52:24
  still kind of waiting on that backstory. But all we know is that there
• 52:29
  is a cell phone policy that was in place that states they're not supposed to
• 52:34
  have the phones out whatever. If you know, they can have cell phones,
• 52:37
  but they're not supposed to be out in the classrooms. So there is
• 52:39
  a cell phone policy. There is a protocol when it comes to altercations between
• 52:45
  students and teachers with how to restraint. So there is a restraint policy,
• 52:50
  and that was posted in the video. Miss Diana says, you gotta watch
• 52:55
  your kids as closely as you watched the teachers. It sucks as parents,
• 53:00
  we can't pop up anymore. Girl Diana, Y'll let me give you a
• 53:07
  round of applause for that, because you know what, I remember that too.
• 53:14
  It's like, you gotta check in. You gotta make an appointment to
• 53:17
  come up to the school. Why if I'm coming to check on my child,
• 53:23
  what do I need an appointment? If I'm called, If I'm coming
• 53:25
  to the school to make sure that my child is doing what he is she
• 53:28
  is supposed to do, why do I need to make an appointment. Back
• 53:34
  in the day, baby parents could just show up and sit in the class
• 53:37
  and they were allowed to sit in the classrooms too. They were allowed to
• 53:42
  do that. You made a bad grade, parents were coming to the school.
• 53:45
  They was having a conversation with you, ended the teacher. So Miss
• 53:51
  Linda says, jail time is not off the table. So we'll see any
• 53:55
  updates that rolled through. Y'all know, I would definitely keep y'all updated on
• 53:59
  that. Haye's I hate sis. Good to see you doing well. Yes,
• 54:06
  I miss you. I hope you are doing well. Uh, we
• 54:09
  definitely have to catch up. Absolutely have to catch up. So y'all,
• 54:13
  let me let me show y'all this other video because as I was doing my
• 54:16
  research for this, uh, I stumbled across some other videos. If I'm
• 54:22
  not mistaken, I'm this was in Atlanta, So y'all tell about what y'all
• 54:30
  think about this. So give me a second, hold you hold tight,
• 54:36
  y'all, let me know what y'all think about this point. Again, this
• 54:37
  was in Atlanta, So here we go. But first video shows a student
• 54:43
  attacking a Rockdale County teacher, sending her to the hospital with a broken leg.
• 54:47
  Good evening, thanks so much for joining us tonight. I'm Tom Haynes.
• 54:51
  The Sheriff's office and the school district now have open investigations. News that
• 54:55
  reporter Joy Dukes joins us now from the Live desk. Joy teacher at I
• 55:00
  could say classrooms have gotten more violent over the years. Yeah, Tom,
• 55:04
  That teacher will have to undergo rehabilitation for her injuries. A representative for a
• 55:08
  state teachers union says that kind of violence at the hands of students is directly
• 55:14
  related to the country's massive teacher shortage. This video of a student attacking a
• 55:27
  teacher inside a Heritage High School classroom on January twenty sixth is now under review
• 55:31
  by the school district and authorities with the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office, students are
• 55:37
  out of control. The video, which has since been shared thousands of times
• 55:40
  on social media, shows chaos erupting in the hallway after an argument between the
• 55:45
  student and teacher. Seen he or escalates as that student appears to slam the
• 55:52
  classroom door on the teacher and then begins to throw punches. There is no
• 55:57
  excuse for the violence. There's no excuse for children who are coming to our
• 56:01
  schools daily and wee can habit, so of us cannot learn. Virdelia Turner
• 56:08
  is the president of the Georgia Federation of Teachers. She says she was angered
• 56:12
  by what she saw in that video when she first watched it Monday. She
• 56:15
  tells Fox By the incidents like this will make it difficult to keep teachers inside
• 56:20
  the classroom. Who we search the way up in just google student assaults on
• 56:24
  teachers. We'll see numerous assaults across the country. She believes both students and
• 56:30
  parents should be held accountable. And this city and the state, we are
• 56:35
  in a state of emergency, and right now we need zero told us.
• 56:38
  A spokesperson for Rockdale County Public Schools issued a statement that reads, in part
• 56:43
  quote, our CPS does not tolerate student violence towards any staff members. Students
• 56:47
  who harm other students or staff will be disciplined according to our student Discipline Code
• 56:52
  of Conduct and will be appropriately charged by law enforcement. Parent's unclear exactly what
• 56:58
  disciplinary action that's student is facing from the school tonight. No word on potential
• 57:01
  criminal charges at this time either, but the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office says the
• 57:06
  investigation is active and ongoing. From the live desk, Joy Dukes, Fox
• 57:10
  five News. Very disturbing video there, Joy, Thanks, And that's just
• 57:19
  one of many that I came across again. And you wonder why we're losing
• 57:27
  all these phenomenal teachers. You're wondering why it's hard to hire teachers because this
• 57:34
  is what they have to deal with, these kids. These kids go in
• 57:37
  the world and act like they fear nothing. She broke that teacher's leg,
• 57:45
  and you saw the teacher walking away. Why should why? Why should you
• 57:57
  know? I just it's sad how this generation of children no longer respect authority
• 58:12
  and fear nothing. They don't even fear going the prison because they glamorized prison
• 58:17
  so much. I don't understand. I really just I don't even understand,
• 58:27
  y'all, y'all make it makes sense to me. So Terris says, us,
• 58:31
  as parents have the responsibility to teach our children respect. But I don't
• 58:35
  really know the story. So what happened was there was an incident in Rocky
• 58:42
  Mount, North Carolina. A teacher confiscated a young lady's cell phone. Student
• 58:49
  got irate, went behind the desk and was antagonizing. Antagonizing, the teacher
• 58:57
  swung it the teacher, and the teacher went to land went to laying them
• 59:00
  the holy hands on her, and yet both of them have been charged with
• 59:07
  simple assault, the teacher as well as the student. I don't feel like
• 59:13
  any charger should have been filed against the teacher because little girl, you knew
• 59:19
  the policy. You knew you wasn't supposed to have your cell phone out.
• 59:22
  So I'm pretty sure she was sitting there playing on her phone, probably text
• 59:25
  and probably on TikTok or whatever, and the teacher probably told her once twice
• 59:30
  put the phone away, and then the girl was like, oh, this
• 59:32
  my phone. I could just imagine what happened because I hear it. Oh
• 59:35
  this my phone, this my phone. You can't have my phone. And
• 59:37
  so when the teacher confiscated it like she was supposed to according to the policy,
• 59:43
  then the little girl got up in and want to be grown and got
• 59:46
  her ass hand to her as she should have. Period. So I'm with
• 59:52
  the teacher. I promise you I support the teacher wholeheartedly because I'm telling you,
• 59:57
  these little demons out here they beg you couldn't pay me to be no
• 1:00:00
  teacher, Nope, not at all. Let's see your child run up on
• 1:00:05
  me. I'm gonna be ready for your mammy. I'm be ready for your
• 1:00:07
  whole family. I'm being ready hold of them. And that's on mirror period.
• 1:00:15
  So Diana says, yeah, all these shootings, so it's understandable why
• 1:00:19
  we can't, but we need to put some cameras or something in the classroom
• 1:00:22
  to keep the teachers and kids accountable. Most people behave better when they know
• 1:00:27
  they're being monitored. I wish that was true, Sis, But sometimes they
• 1:00:30
  don't even care about the camera. They don't even care. The mindset of
• 1:00:36
  these children these days, since they don't fear nothing, they don't fear the
• 1:00:39
  consequences of their acts. They don't fear it because the parents are at home
• 1:00:45
  telling them that it's okay to go to school and act like this. They
• 1:00:46
  encourage this type of behavior. So I get what you're saying, Sist,
• 1:00:54
  But these parents encourage this type of behavior. I've heard parents tell their children,
• 1:01:00
  if your teachers say something to you, you let me know, and
• 1:01:02
  I'm gonna come up to the school. What okay, So Terry says,
• 1:01:12
  I'm doing well, We definitely have to catch up. Got some things to
• 1:01:15
  tell you, got you got you, got you got you, I'll hit
• 1:01:17
  you up this weekend. So Diana says, a high fucking mess, and
• 1:01:22
  rock Dale isn't even the hood shaking my head. Tell go my favorite braider.
• 1:01:29
  Hey, folky, I miss you so much. Y'all shot to my
• 1:01:31
  braider. Baby, I cannot wait to get back in your chair. Uh,
• 1:01:35
  Donna Lee's Uh, I need to bring my baby to you. She
• 1:01:38
  needs to help read it. So Steven says, good to see you,
• 1:01:45
  big brother. He says, some of these kids ain't bad, they're sick.
• 1:01:47
  The teacher was twice her size. Normal people don't pick fights with people
• 1:01:51
  bigger than them. Brother, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that,
• 1:01:54
  because baby, I hadn't seen people. I hadn't seen it. I
• 1:01:59
  didn't seen their brother. I didn't seen little children thinking they could challenge somebody
• 1:02:05
  big. I've seen it. I didn't seen adults do that small and think
• 1:02:09
  they can run up on somebody big. I've seen it, brother, So
• 1:02:13
  I'm ad to get your little pushback on that one because I've seen it.
• 1:02:16
  And the teacher wasn't twice her size, she might have been a few inches
• 1:02:21
  taller than her. I've seen it. So yeah, so size and height
• 1:02:28
  and wait, don't matter, baby, you're run up. You're gonna get
• 1:02:30
  done up. Period. If you this is this is what I'm gonna say
• 1:02:34
  this. You want to be treated like an adult, You're gonna get dealt
• 1:02:37
  with like an adult. That little girl thought she was so she was grown
• 1:02:40
  and she ran up on that teaching. Didn't think that teacher was gonna do
• 1:02:44
  nothing to it. And guess what she got the Jesus hands laid on a
• 1:02:46
  baby. She got them anointed hands, she got them raided e hands.
• 1:02:51
  For everybody, I've seen it, So Linda says, I didn't see all
• 1:03:01
  of the video at first. Teacher needs to file a lawsuit, and she
• 1:03:05
  does, suiting parents to the parents. So Juli says, this generation of
• 1:03:14
  kids just wake up angry every day, right, and then come to school
• 1:03:16
  or go out into the world and spue their negativity into the world. If
• 1:03:22
  you that miserable and you that angry, stay your ass at home, because
• 1:03:24
  anybody got time for that. Don't nobody have time to deal with with that
• 1:03:29
  energy. So Terra says, it seems to me, since they took religion
• 1:03:32
  and prayer out of schools, it's just it's gone bad. He say,
• 1:03:36
  just an opinion. I agree, Julie says. Sad part is that teacher
• 1:03:43
  is not CPI certified pray form. So Miss Diana says, a lot of
• 1:03:50
  kids don't have parents. They just have sperm and egg donors that they live
• 1:03:53
  with. That's why making my business to mother every child and my presence on
• 1:03:57
  at least some level, especially in my kids who And that's what I was
• 1:04:01
  saying in the beginning, Diana, was we had the village, We had
• 1:04:05
  the community that stuck together, that ensured that these children were doing right.
• 1:04:14
  We had that. We no longer have that anymore. We have these this
• 1:04:17
  this new generation where parents want to be friends with their children instead of parenting.
• 1:04:25
  They want to be friends with their children, and that that goals.
• 1:04:28
  That moves me right here. Parents need to be parents and not friends.
• 1:04:32
  That's I just don't understand. What is this, This this fetish of want
• 1:04:38
  them to be the cool mom and the like mom or the house that everybody
• 1:04:43
  comes to hang out at. Let me tell you somethingbout my mom My.
• 1:04:45
  Mamma didn't want nobody in our house. My mama didn't go for all of
• 1:04:50
  that. My mama didn't give a damn about being life by other parents or
• 1:04:56
  other children. Parents these days, it's almost like they feticize. It's almost
• 1:05:01
  like I gotta be the cool mom. I don't want to raise my children
• 1:05:06
  away. My mama raised me. But you turned that. Okay. You
• 1:05:15
  need to get control of your children. You need to take accountability for what
• 1:05:24
  you're not doing at home. Your children are a product of what they see.
• 1:05:31
  If you display positive things in your household, you're gonna have positive things
• 1:05:38
  with your children. But if you're doing everything that's toxic, that's what these
• 1:05:43
  children are gonna are normal. They're gonna normalize that because we see parents that
• 1:05:47
  feel like every to every result, fighting is the is a solution to everything.
• 1:05:53
  Cussing somebody out as a solution to everything. That's how some of these
• 1:05:57
  parents seek. So guess what you're teaching that to your children. So your
• 1:06:00
  children are gonna go into the world and they're gonna think the way to resolve
• 1:06:03
  their issues it's the fight. It's to shoot, it's to cuss somebody out.
• 1:06:08
  It's to go and do this and to go and do that. No,
• 1:06:12
  No, that that's that's not how it goes. That's not how it
• 1:06:17
  goes. So Stephen says. Stephen says, what the hell, Yeah,
• 1:06:30
  brother, let me tell you something. I've seen smaller people try to charge
• 1:06:33
  that bigger people I've seen. So Diana says, do you think people in
• 1:06:40
  positions of power and authority should be held to a higher standard in regards to
• 1:06:43
  self control and de escalation? We do, I agree, But that woman
• 1:06:50
  showed a lot of restraints. She was who until the girl swung at her.
• 1:07:01
  The girl swung at her. The teacher had the restraint, she had
• 1:07:10
  the self control, she tried to de escalate. You don't telling the girl
• 1:07:14
  goal going on, you know, But the girl kept coming and coming and
• 1:07:19
  coming until she swung. As I think a lot of teachers, when you're
• 1:07:28
  being pushed so much, that self control, I think that shit goes out
• 1:07:31
  the window in that moment because you're like, you know what, not not
• 1:07:34
  Now you're really coming for me. Now you're really gunning for me. Now
• 1:07:40
  I feel like I'm in fear of my life. So now I have to
• 1:07:43
  protect myself. And I think that's just a natural reaction when when you're attacked,
• 1:07:45
  your normal reaction is to defend yourself, you know. So Steve says,
• 1:07:51
  if the child doesn't at home. What can the parents do CPS on
• 1:07:55
  speed that? Well, then I tell you what, pall CPS let them
• 1:07:59
  take care of you. You want to call them, buy because as long
• 1:08:05
  as you're in my house, you're gonna respect my rules in my house.
• 1:08:09
  Period. That's just a bottom line. There's this is not up for discussion.
• 1:08:14
  This is not up for debate. You don't like the rules in my
• 1:08:16
  home, then you can go. You feel like you want to be grown,
• 1:08:20
  you can go. But in my house, you're gonna respect my rules.
• 1:08:25
  Period. I'm the adult here. I'm the one that's in control of
• 1:08:30
  the situation. Stop letting these children control these situations. Put your foot down.
• 1:08:33
  Stop being afraid of your children. Find out what's going into your child's
• 1:08:40
  life. Find out why your child is acting like this. Maybe it's something
• 1:08:43
  you're doing, Maybe it's something that daddy has done, Maybe it's something that
• 1:08:45
  happened to them. But the parents are not taking the time to figure that
• 1:08:49
  out. That's another issue, y'all that we're dealing with. Find out why
• 1:08:57
  this child is acting out like this, but some of these parents can't because
• 1:09:01
  you're too busy worried about what club you're gonna be in. This weekend,
• 1:09:06
  you're going you're going on your trip to Dubai, or you're going to Miami
• 1:09:10
  for a BBL. This is what some of your parents are more concerned with
• 1:09:13
  instead of trying to figure out what's wrong with your child. You need to
• 1:09:20
  come on now. We need to put our energy back into our children,
• 1:09:24
  because this is the future. We're looking at our next politician. We're looking
• 1:09:30
  at our next neurosurgeon. We're looking at our next doctor, our next judge,
• 1:09:33
  our next lawyer. This is who we're looking at, y'all. But
• 1:09:42
  we gotta do better. People, we gotta do better as parents. We
• 1:09:45
  gotta do better as a community. Your parents need to stop getting upset when
• 1:09:50
  another, a person of authority, disciplines your child. Stop doing that.
• 1:09:58
  Back then, parents didn't have an issue if they saw your child acting out
• 1:10:01
  crazy. They didn't mind you saying something to your child. Parent's respect,
• 1:10:06
  children respected authorities. But now, heybe these children like, you can't tell
• 1:10:17
  me now, you ain't my mom, you're not my dad. That's what
• 1:10:19
  they tell them. My mama said I could. Yeah, those are the
• 1:10:27
  types of things that these children see. But y'all just yes, y'all laugh
• 1:10:32
  about it. Y'all recorded and think it's funny and put it on social media,
• 1:10:35
  and then you get mad at the comments. You don't want people judging
• 1:10:41
  what how you parents. Stop putting shit on social media. You don't want
• 1:10:46
  people to talk about how you parents your child, then parents your children.
• 1:10:55
  So Miss Diana says trauma response. Most of these people didn't turn out.
• 1:10:58
  Okay, they're just functioning. We just fun the girl, oh girl,
• 1:11:03
  Yes, indeed, yes, indeed, Uh javert no, ma'am. We
• 1:11:09
  are not addressing the teacher in them case. Uh goodbye, girl, so
• 1:11:14
  Diana says. I agree. When flight a fight kicks in, some folks
• 1:11:16
  fly, some fight, and they do. We see this far too often,
• 1:11:24
  y'all, far too often, and the teachers are left out to dry
• 1:11:32
  no support, not from the faculty, not from the parents. The teacher
• 1:11:40
  is always in the wrong in certain situations. Let me not say all,
• 1:11:44
  but certain certain situations. Because here's another video of a middle school student assaulting
• 1:11:56
  another teacher. Here we go tonight. We're starting out with a video out
• 1:12:01
  of Booie Middle School in Odessa going viral in all the wrong ways. A
• 1:12:05
  shocking altercation between a student and a teacher leading to first degree felony charges and
• 1:12:12
  an arrest. Tonight, the Actor County Independent School District is responding to the
• 1:12:15
  video and looking to the future of safety in ecist for teachers and students.
• 1:12:20
  Christina Burgess is here to break down the district's response. And Christina, what
• 1:12:25
  do they have to say in this matter? Well, Alex for starters there,
• 1:12:27
  we'll be following the student Code of Conduct. I have the chance to
• 1:12:30
  speak with the districts superintendent, doctor Murray, who says incidents like this one
• 1:12:33
  will not be tolerated. And I do want to warn you that the video
• 1:12:36
  we're about to show you is graphic. It's a video you've probably seen on
• 1:12:42
  social media over the past twenty four hours. The original Facebook post shared over
• 1:12:46
  three thousand times, and even though it's barely forty seconds long, it's a
• 1:12:50
  difficult video to watch. In it, you can hear an eighth grade Booy
• 1:12:55
  Middle School student and his teacher arguing over a phone that she confiscated from him.
• 1:13:00
  As the video progresses, you see the teacher refusing to give it to
• 1:13:02
  him. Then the student becomes physical, shoves the teacher, hits her multiple
• 1:13:08
  times, knocks her head against the desk, and knocks her to the ground,
• 1:13:12
  a violand incident that ECISD Superintendent Doctor Murray said will not be tolerated in
• 1:13:16
  this district, specifically with students involved in a situation like this, you know,
• 1:13:21
  we have an obligation to follow our student cut of conduct in this situation
• 1:13:25
  of violence is not tolerable. Specifically, this was an assault on a teacher,
• 1:13:29
  and so we will certainly use our every avenue legally to make sure that
• 1:13:34
  this type of situation doesn't happen again. All of those pieces are in place,
• 1:13:39
  so these incidents don't necessarily create a policy change. It is effectively using
• 1:13:45
  the policies and procedures that are in place, and so a fidelity of implementation,
• 1:13:48
  if you will, making sure that we're implementing those policies and proteasers effectively.
• 1:13:54
  And he says, while they make sure their teachers are equipped with what
• 1:13:57
  they need, he wants parents to do the same with their children. Clear
• 1:14:00
  rules and expectations of children and of adults as well, but that needs to
• 1:14:04
  be clear. Our families need to understand those so that moms and dads can
• 1:14:08
  have conversations with kids about those rules and expectations. And then we have to
• 1:14:12
  equip our teachers and those that work with our children with the knowledge so that
• 1:14:16
  they also understand the rules and expectations and then how to implement those and enforce
• 1:14:21
  those within our campus. So that's and as for the teacher involved, the
• 1:14:25
  district is fully supporting her. We're providing full support to that teacher to make
• 1:14:30
  sure that she feels confident and comfortable to return to work and continue to educate
• 1:14:34
  kids. And we will continue to support her and her family as we navigate
• 1:14:40
  this situation. And according to ECISD, this eighth grade student involved has been
• 1:14:45
  arrested and charged with aggravated assault of a public servant, which is a first
• 1:14:48
  degree felony. Alex Christina, thank you. In parts of that video you
• 1:14:54
  can hear that's the student and the teacher seem to be arguing over a confiscated
• 1:14:58
  phone, which does align with the schools cell phone policy and that says that
• 1:15:01
  students can have phones, but they must be turned off. The policy states
• 1:15:05
  that cell phones can only be used when students are outside of the school,
• 1:15:10
  and failure to comply with a policy can result in the phone being confiscated and
• 1:15:14
  picked up at the end of the school day by a parent. So their
• 1:15:21
  cell phone policies in place. Two kids. Notice, y'all know you can
• 1:15:27
  have your phone at school, but you and I suppos And nine times out
• 1:15:29
  of ten, I'm pretty sure he or she because I don't know if it
• 1:15:31
  was a young lady or a young man, was probably playing on a phone
• 1:15:35
  sitting here like this, text and tweeting on TikTok, Instagram, whatever whatever
• 1:15:41
  social media site. And again I'm pretty sure the teacher said, I'm gonna
• 1:15:45
  ask you wanma, you know, put police, put the phone away,
• 1:15:49
  and again, probably said it two or three times. And then I'm pretty
• 1:15:53
  sure the students say, you can't send this my phone my mom. Yeah,
• 1:15:57
  I'm pretty sure that's how it went. So I'm pretty sure that you
• 1:16:00
  know, when the teacher walked around and confiscated the phone, that upset the
• 1:16:04
  student and provoked the student to start fighting with this woman again. And you
• 1:16:15
  wonder why we can't keep the teachers. You wonder why there's a teacher's shortage
• 1:16:24
  again, they're overworked, underpaid, and then have to deal with your mom'ster
• 1:16:29
  at school. Na, baby, that's that's no no. I just I
• 1:16:38
  pray. I pray for the next generation. I really do. But this
• 1:16:45
  is my stance. Y'all, if you start charging these parents, these kids
• 1:16:49
  will keep their hands to themselves. I'm guarant I guarantee you start. Let
• 1:16:55
  me say this, if y'all can lock parents up for your children skipping school
• 1:17:00
  and or not well, let me say this, if y'all could charge parents
• 1:17:03
  and put parents in jail for their children not going to school, you need
• 1:17:08
  to start charging them and locking them up for their kids assaulting these teachers.
• 1:17:12
  That's what y'all need to do. Let me just put that out there.
• 1:17:15
  Anybody will feed part of the conversation up yet now they're senior letter and tell
• 1:17:20
  you, oh, your child ain't been a school next amount of days,
• 1:17:23
  and if your child miss a school, we can lock you up. Okay,
• 1:17:26
  when they start us outing while they're assaulting these teachers, lock these parents
• 1:17:29
  up too. That's what you do. Charge charging these parents. So Miss
• 1:17:36
  Diana says, you bring up a good point about the community used to be
• 1:17:40
  able to discipline kids when they step out of pocket. The thing is something
• 1:17:43
  was something was unrighteous somewhere because those kids grew up in masters with the no
• 1:17:47
  one would be able to tell my kids anything. Mindset right and That's what
• 1:17:51
  I mean when I say you hear these kids tell and these children tell you
• 1:17:55
  that, they'll turn around and say, uh, my mama, say you
• 1:18:00
  can't put your hands on my mamma say you can't touch me. But then
• 1:18:02
  I'll tell you what you tell your mom come pick your behind up. Then
• 1:18:05
  that's what you do. If I can't discipline you in some form of fashion,
• 1:18:12
  then you you tell your mamma, come pick you up. Tell your
• 1:18:15
  mamma come pick you up. If I'm not able to tell you right from
• 1:18:17
  wrong, tell your mamma, come pick you up. That's what you do
• 1:18:21
  because I'm not dealing with it. I'm not dealing with the disrespect from my
• 1:18:25
  children, and I'm not dealing with it from someone else's job. Period.
• 1:18:30
  But like you say, Diana, the times are different now. It's totally
• 1:18:34
  different. Parents, the community, the school. They cared. When I
• 1:18:46
  was in school, if you made a bad grade, they was calling your
• 1:18:53
  They was calling your parents parents, They was having parents teacher conferences, and
• 1:18:58
  they were telling you, oh, you didn't passage, you can't go to
• 1:19:00
  you can't go out. That a recess, you gotta retake this. So
• 1:19:02
  on your recess, you gotta retake this test recess. You're gonna finish this
• 1:19:09
  homework. You got in trouble at school, trust and believe your mama knew
• 1:19:15
  before you even got home. They didn't even have to call because guess what,
• 1:19:18
  Miss Betty and seeing you because Miss Betty work at the school. She
• 1:19:23
  a cafeteria lady, and they didn't went and told Miss Betty, yeah,
• 1:19:27
  you know ashing over there was just acting up. So guess what, Miss
• 1:19:30
  Betty didn't call your mom. So while you thinking your mama don't know what,
• 1:19:34
  you didn't did this fool baby? Miss better than I were to call
• 1:19:36
  him, told you go home. You think everything is sweet, and your
• 1:19:44
  mama saying, oh hum, what happened in the third period today? Oh,
• 1:19:45
  ain't nothing happened. Miss Bettett told me you was up in in the
• 1:19:49
  classroom talk and the teacher had to tell you sold five times to be quiet.
• 1:19:55
  You still you still kept talk, so we don't have that. Hey,
• 1:20:04
  sis, Oh it's good to see your girl. I am good,
• 1:20:09
  good, good baby. It's good to see you. She say. We
• 1:20:13
  need the village like we had back in the day. I'm right there with
• 1:20:16
  you. Miss Diana say, these parents are passing their trauma to their children.
• 1:20:20
  Right, and this is and this is the thing, Diana, this
• 1:20:27
  is the part that parents don't want to address. You haven't healed, so
• 1:20:32
  now you're passes on to your children. Your children are acting out because guess
• 1:20:36
  what, mama's doing the same thing that mama saw her parents do. Generational,
• 1:20:45
  At what point do you do? You do your draw the line and
• 1:20:48
  say, you know what, we can't do this. At what point do
• 1:20:53
  you stop this, stop encouraging this type of behaviors? Why? They says
• 1:21:01
  true? So Miss Diana says, it's just not safe to leave your kids
• 1:21:08
  with someone who can't discipline them. If I can't discipline them, but they're
• 1:21:11
  safety, they can't stay with me, right, If I can't correct your
• 1:21:15
  children, then you need to gonna keep them with you. Because your baby
• 1:21:19
  come to my house and cut up, or I'm gonna tell you baby to
• 1:21:23
  stop, I'm gonna pop that hand, I'm gonna I'm gonna get that little
• 1:21:28
  switch and I'm gonna pop some booty hill with a switch or a fly swatter,
• 1:21:31
  or y'all popping something because you're gonna listen to me. Now what you
• 1:21:35
  do at your mama house, you do that at your mama house. But
• 1:21:40
  baby, let me tell you something. You're not coming over here with that
• 1:21:43
  foolishness. And I said, let me, let me, let me take
• 1:21:47
  a moment to recognize the grandmothers that are raising their children's children and are doing
• 1:21:55
  the best that they can with what they can. Let me shout y'all out.
• 1:22:00
  Let me let me give a round of applause to those grandmothers. Let
• 1:22:03
  me give you a round of applause for that. Because your grandmother stepped in
• 1:22:08
  when mama stepped out or when dad is stepped out. So absolute those grandparents
• 1:22:14
  that stepped in when mom and dad is stepped out. Because these grandparents are
• 1:22:19
  doing the best that they can. So Miss Suave says that they call your
• 1:22:27
  grandma mama, ain't she wanted to make sure to mess do absolutely absolutely and
• 1:22:33
  when and let me tell you and when they were sending them no tone from
• 1:22:36
  school, They was coming after you after they were sending them letters, when
• 1:22:42
  they knew your mom and then was at home, so that when you couldn't
• 1:22:45
  in accept and stop this letter from you acting up in class making it home
• 1:22:50
  because hee, when they used to give it the students. But you know,
• 1:22:53
  of course they would never make it home. So Jule says, this
• 1:22:58
  is a result of kids having kids and not knowing how to properly raise them.
• 1:23:01
  Right, right, Hey, Angela, Hey Pootpool. She said,
• 1:23:10
  they need to draw the lines now. And I agree with Diana, right
• 1:23:15
  because if I left my child with you, you had my permission to discipline
• 1:23:20
  or reprimand my baby. If my child was acting up, you had permission.
• 1:23:25
  So Angela, if I send my baby over there to you and my
• 1:23:28
  baby cutting up, you had ever right to pop up behind. You had
• 1:23:30
  ever right to tell her to stop, because I gave you that permission because
• 1:23:36
  I trusted you. So I they say, I agree, There we go.
• 1:23:45
  Diana says, that's a whole other issue. No way you should be
• 1:23:47
  seventy two dealing with a thirteen year old. Right. That takes me back,
• 1:23:51
  Diana, I don't know if you remember the story about the twins in
• 1:23:55
  Atlanta who murdered their mother. The grandma, the great grandmother was ing them
• 1:24:00
  because the mamma was out in the streets and stuff, and so by this
• 1:24:02
  time when the mama wore them back, they was like four thirteen, fourteen
• 1:24:05
  years old and didn't respect authority because they were staying with the great grandmother,
• 1:24:12
  the great grandma. She was an older lady. She had raised her children,
• 1:24:14
  so she was you know, she was tired. You know, hey,
• 1:24:17
  you got to come get your children now because I'm old now. And
• 1:24:23
  they killed their mama because the mama was trying to discipline it. Because they
• 1:24:29
  woke up later. Miss the bus born a school and they ended up pillars.
• 1:24:33
  So we see this far too often, ladies in general, we see
• 1:24:35
  this far too often, too much, too much. So this is my
• 1:24:45
  stand. If you start charging these parents, I guarantee these kids will start
• 1:24:50
  keeping their hands to themselves. But we also need to bring the village back.
• 1:25:00
  Stop telling people that they can't tell your children to stop. Because when
• 1:25:06
  these parents were telling was telling us to stop, they weren't doing that out
• 1:25:13
  of ill intent. They were doing that to save us. They were showing
• 1:25:19
  us how to be respectful and how to conduct ourselves in public. Because every
• 1:25:27
  black parent had that conversation with their child. Where did they tell you,
• 1:25:31
  don't you get in this storing and ask me for nothing. Don't you go
• 1:25:34
  nowhere and ask me for nothing? You better act like you got some sense,
• 1:25:38
  because if you embarrass me in public, I'm go an whoof you right
• 1:25:40
  where we staying? We all had that talk, every black child, Mama
• 1:25:45
  or dad had that conversation. Well, mama had that conversation with you before
• 1:25:47
  y'all went to the store. You get in this call and you sit down
• 1:25:53
  and you act like you got some sense. If you went to somebody's house,
• 1:25:55
  you sit down and you act like you had some sense. You went
• 1:25:58
  to church, you'll sit down and act like he had some common sense,
• 1:26:00
  because you was gonna get whopped in church too. Now they may not have
• 1:26:03
  whipped you right then, see what they would do. They would pinch you
• 1:26:06
  right up under your arm right here. They pinched the la fat Or Mama
• 1:26:12
  used to give you a look in church, or Miss Betty used to give
• 1:26:16
  you a look in church when you was talking and you was cutting up too
• 1:26:19
  much. They had. All it took was a look, and you knew
• 1:26:24
  you was gonna get your behind told when you got home. You knew that.
• 1:26:30
  But now you can't tell no about the children nothing. My mamma said,
• 1:26:34
  you can't tell me that. My mama said, you can't tell me
• 1:26:36
  what to do. You can't tell me what to do. You not my
• 1:26:39
  mama and babe, because if I was your mama, you wouldn't even be
• 1:26:42
  acting like that. How about that? How about that? How about that?
• 1:26:54
  Angela says, right, Diana says, I remember that, right Jul
• 1:26:59
  They killed and they left the body in the bath and went to school like
• 1:27:01
  nothing. Angelas say, yes, ma'am. Every black mama had that conversation
• 1:27:10
  with the child when you went before y'all went somewhere, and Grandmama kept that
• 1:27:15
  switch. Baby mom would pull that bell out of her purse, quick fastening
• 1:27:20
  in her ring. But don't made me. And you knew you had to
• 1:27:25
  get right. You knew you had to get right. You had to straighten
• 1:27:29
  up. Diana said. The village has got to be righteous, though I
• 1:27:32
  believe that's what happened to the village too. Many people were abusing their authority.
• 1:27:36
  Yeah, and then to that generation left the community, they left the
• 1:27:44
  neighborhood. But what can we do to bring that back, y'all? Because
• 1:27:50
  it's absolutely needed, y'all. We're losing our children every day. If we're
• 1:27:59
  not losing them to the police, we're losing them to the streets. This
• 1:28:08
  new generation, their loss. What can we do, y'all? This is
• 1:28:15
  the future, This is our next president, This is our next doctor,
• 1:28:23
  this is our next surgeon, our next millionaire. I just I pray every
• 1:28:34
  day, y'all. I pray for its generation. I pray for these teachers.
• 1:28:44
  I just pray because the world, y'all is so scary now, it's
• 1:28:53
  so scary. Suave says, don't let them all? Ca't you acting?
• 1:28:58
  You are getting your head whipping for days? You are you really? Truly?
• 1:29:04
  Are? You really are? What we gotta do better, y'all,
• 1:29:12
  like we have to do better, not only would ourselves, but with our
• 1:29:17
  children. We have to raise our children righteously. We have to show our
• 1:29:29
  children right from Rome. And yeah, I get it. You know,
• 1:29:34
  as much as you you try to show your children right from Rome, they
• 1:29:38
  still could get caught up in the life. I understand that. I wholeheartedly
• 1:29:44
  believe that. But y'all also have to understand. We are our children's first
• 1:29:47
  teachers. That's who we are. So if we're not showing our children the
• 1:29:58
  right way, what do you expect. Salute to these teachers and everything that
• 1:30:08
  y'all do. To every educator that i'm that I see on social media,
• 1:30:14
  I always stop and give them their flowers because they don't have to do that.
• 1:30:18
  They don't have to teach our children. They could just get up and
• 1:30:21
  walk away. But you have teachers that really truly, genuinely love what they
• 1:30:30
  do. And regardless of what these teachers are going through, they still stay
• 1:30:39
  amongst these school shootings. These teachers still stay because this is what their purpose
• 1:30:48
  is, this is their passion, and you're allowing your children to ruin someone's
• 1:30:57
  dreams. Y'all got to do better, baby, as parents like you parents,
• 1:31:02
  y'all need to heal y'allseelves, y'all need to go and get some intense
• 1:31:06
  therapy like y'all need to do better with y'all selves, because I'm telling you,
• 1:31:13
  your child's gonna end up in one or two places. Now, ask
• 1:31:18
  yourself, is that what you really want? Do you want to see your
• 1:31:24
  child in the jail cell? Do you want to go visit your child in
• 1:31:27
  a cemetery? Is that what you're really truly won't? And I excuse me,
• 1:31:34
  y'all, I get it. Mama's out here working two or three jobs
• 1:31:39
  because dad didn't left. I get it. Dad is out here raising their
• 1:31:45
  children on their own because mamma want to go live our best life. I
• 1:31:47
  get it. But that's where we as a community have to step in.
• 1:31:55
  That's where we step in as a community, because that's what we growing up
• 1:32:00
  back in the deed, that's that we had. That we had that but
• 1:32:08
  not that's lost. And I hope I pray one day that at that village
• 1:32:15
  mentality will come back, because I want to see your children grow. I'm
• 1:32:21
  tired of seeing so many of our black boys and black girls locked up.
• 1:32:28
  I'm so tired of seeing so many of our little black girls and black boys
• 1:32:33
  in the cemetery. I'm tired. So we as a people, y'all,
• 1:32:42
  we gotta do better. We gotta do better. To your parents. If
• 1:32:50
  you're not ready to be a parent, stop having children. Don't don't bring
• 1:32:56
  them into the world. If you're not gonna parent them, don't do that.
• 1:33:02
  And I'm asking that in the most respectful way. If you know you
• 1:33:08
  you're not about being consistent with raising it, you don't have them. Diana
• 1:33:15
  says, you gotta get them young, free k kindergarten, Be as involved
• 1:33:18
  in your kids classrooms as you can. Be antient to those kids, right,
• 1:33:26
  she said, bout twelve years old, they pretty set in their foundation.
• 1:33:28
  If you wait till then it's too late, right, But you know
• 1:33:32
  what, I'll never but it's never too late to change. It's never too
• 1:33:38
  late to change. And I can only attest for me. It's never too
• 1:33:44
  late to change. So Diana says, the facts is fucking it's free and
• 1:33:50
  easily accessible. So baby's gonna keep being made by people unqualified to parents.
• 1:33:56
  Those who are qualified got to fill in gaps the best way. We can't.
• 1:34:00
  We gotta get out of that. That's not my kid, not my
• 1:34:01
  problem of mindset, right, but you do have parents that are out of
• 1:34:09
  there. Let me put let me post that comment back up. You do
• 1:34:12
  have parents that are out of you know, that don't live in that mindset
• 1:34:16
  that dude, try to tell your child, don't do that. Your mama
• 1:34:21
  wouldn't like you. Not my mama. You can't tell me, And that's
• 1:34:25
  what they're met with. They're met with. You can't tell me what to
• 1:34:29
  do. You're not my mama, You're not my daddy. This is what
• 1:34:30
  they're met with. So how do we overcome that? Because you do have
• 1:34:38
  people out here, you know, Like I say, like me, if
• 1:34:40
  I see your child cutting up, let me call your mom. You know,
• 1:34:44
  your mama don't want you out here. You know your mama don't allow
• 1:34:46
  you out here to do that. Oh, I'm snitching. And then you
• 1:34:51
  got something that'd be like, girl, thank you for Colin and Tip.
• 1:34:55
  Then you got something say, girl, I'd be trying to and I don't
• 1:34:58
  know what's wrong with him. I don't know what's wrong with hurt. Maybe
• 1:35:00
  you need to take the time to sit down and find out what's wrong with
• 1:35:02
  them and figure out why they act like that. Maybe it's something in you.
• 1:35:15
  Maybe it's something in you that you you just hain't heels from so you
• 1:35:18
  pass it on to your child or your children, So Suavey says, people
• 1:35:28
  people turn people that way because you try to save and save. So it's
• 1:35:31
  like I'm tired of it. Yeah, because you're gonna like, we get
• 1:35:40
  exhausted of consistently telling your child stop, stop, stop, don't do this,
• 1:35:44
  don't do that. At least you know we're tired of doing that.
• 1:35:49
  Diana say right, Diana, say do it anyway. You never know what's
• 1:35:54
  gonna stick. Sometimes a kid just needs to know someone give a damn.
• 1:35:57
  We can't save them all. We can only save who we can't. Right,
• 1:36:00
  And That's why Diana, like I said, when I see those videos
• 1:36:04
  of these teachers going the extra maility students, I always stop to make sure
• 1:36:11
  I give them their flowers, and I always tell them thank you for all
• 1:36:16
  that you do, even when you know you don't have to do it.
• 1:36:21
  I give them their props. And sometimes that's all a teacher needs to hear
• 1:36:27
  is you're doing a great job. Keep up the good work instead of getting
• 1:36:31
  beat down and torn down. They see it far too often. So yeah,
• 1:36:42
  my heart goes out to these teachers, to these providers. My heart
• 1:36:49
  goes out to the parents that are trying to do the best that they can
• 1:36:56
  with their child, their children. Shout out to the grandmothers that are raising
• 1:37:01
  a children's children because mama or dad is stepped out, so you had to
• 1:37:08
  step in. I want to give all of y'all your flowers on that.
• 1:37:15
  So Miss Diana says what the Bible says, don't be weary of doing good
• 1:37:17
  is it is exhausting. It is also necessary, though you better preach Amen,
• 1:37:24
  bab bear a man. So I'm gonna roll into my final thoughts,
• 1:37:30
  y'all, what oh Before I do that, let me give y'all an update
• 1:37:40
  a couple of updates. So Tuesday night I spoke on the school, not
• 1:37:46
  the school shooting, the shooting that occurred at the sweet sixteen birthday party in
• 1:37:50
  Dayville, Alabama. There have there has been and arrest. Three individuals have
• 1:37:57
  been arrested. I believe one was sixteen, other was seventeen, and I
• 1:38:00
  believe the other one was eighteen, So they do have three people in custody.
• 1:38:05
  Want to give you an update in regards to the Tyree Nichols case.
• 1:38:11
  The parents, as of yesterday, have filed a five hundred and fifty fifty
• 1:38:15
  million dollar lawsuit against the city of Memphis in the death of Tyree Nipples.
• 1:38:20
  No trial date has been set, but again y'all know y'all keep y'all updated
• 1:38:26
  as any trial updates or any updates roll through. Y'all already know how to
• 1:38:30
  do. Again, for those just tuning in, I am talking about the
• 1:38:35
  incident between the substitute teacher and the student in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
• 1:38:42
  Again, the teacher as well as the student have been charged with simple assault.
• 1:38:46
  The child has been charged as a juvenile, and of course the teacher
• 1:38:50
  has been charged as an adult. So any updates with that I will definitely
• 1:38:55
  keep y'all posted on that. Also want to bring you another update on Ralph
• 1:39:00
  Yar. Ralf y'ar was the sixteen year old student that was shot for knocking
• 1:39:05
  on the wrong door as he was picking up his siblings. Again, y'all
• 1:39:09
  do know that Andrew Lester has been charged with first degree is an aggravated assault
• 1:39:16
  something like that, but that is a felony and I can't remember the other
• 1:39:20
  charge. But he has into the plea of no guilty. He was arrested,
• 1:39:25
  but he did post a two hundred thousand dollars bail. He was due
• 1:39:29
  back in court on Wednesday, and of course that's when he entered the plea
• 1:39:33
  of not guilty. Any updates with regards to that, y'all know. I
• 1:39:36
  will definitely keep y'all lockloaded and updated. Baby, I'm here to bring you
• 1:39:41
  all the news. So let me go onto my final thoughts. But tonight,
• 1:39:51
  so let me say this to you children, keep your hands to yourself.
• 1:40:00
  We see this far too often altercations between students and teachers, and the
• 1:40:04
  teachers are not protected. Your parents, start parenting your children or they're going
• 1:40:13
  to end up in one or two places in a jail cell or a cemetery.
• 1:40:16
  You pick, pick your poison. We as a community, we have
• 1:40:21
  to do better. If you see a child out of line, correct them,
• 1:40:30
  correct them. It doesn't hurt to tell a child stop. Don't do
• 1:40:36
  that. That's not right. Parents. Stop trying to be friends with your
• 1:40:43
  children. That's the problem these days. Y'all want to be the cool parents.
• 1:40:49
  Y'all want to be liked. Just get back to parenting and if you,
• 1:40:56
  if you have any unresolved issues, seek therapy because you're passing on your
• 1:41:00
  trauma to your children, and your children are gonna pass it on to their
• 1:41:04
  children and it's just gonna keep going. If there's not aligned drone to stop
• 1:41:11
  this, it has to stop somewhere. H I just I tell y'all,
• 1:41:28
  what are we gonna do? Y'all? What are we gonna do? And
• 1:41:33
  that's I'm gonna end on that. What are we gonna do? How do
• 1:41:38
  we control this? How do we how do we how do we con tell
• 1:41:41
  this? Because again, you're not safe at school because these masks, these
• 1:41:50
  mask shootings, these school shootings, kids up there fighting, educators, teachers
• 1:41:59
  are quitting their tiring because they don't want to deal with this. You're taking
• 1:42:03
  away the learning from someone else's job because you want to get up there and
• 1:42:06
  show your ass, because you want to perform like a clown. You want
• 1:42:10
  to do all that, go to the circus. There's a time and a
• 1:42:14
  place for that in a classroom, ain't it. That's a place for learning.
• 1:42:19
  That's a place for a child to be taught, not a stage for
• 1:42:26
  you to perform on. And I'm gonna leave it at that. Oh yo.
• 1:42:35
  Soave says amen, and Diana says, yes. Please love on these
• 1:42:42
  teachers too. Little things go along way, and they do. And I
• 1:42:45
  every time I see a video with a teacher, I always stop and I
• 1:42:53
  give her, whether I know the teacher, male or female, salute to
• 1:42:58
  you for everything that you do. Even my all to my children's teachers,
• 1:43:01
  I would thank them for all that they do because you don't have to be
• 1:43:05
  here teacher my children. You could be somewhere, you could be doing anything
• 1:43:09
  else, but you chose to come and teach my children. So thank you
• 1:43:12
  for that. I commend you on that. I applaud you for that.
• 1:43:15
  Keep doing what you do, even if it's a card, even if it's
• 1:43:19
  a ten dollars give card to Starbucks or something. You know, all teachers
• 1:43:24
  love Starbucks. Show these teachers that we appreciate what they do, because a
• 1:43:29
  lot of them feel like we don't appreciate them. They don't feel supportive,
• 1:43:34
  they don't feel loved, don't But I think even each of them, last
• 1:43:40
  one of my teachers, my children's teachers, and any other educator out here
• 1:43:44
  in the world, thank you for all that you do. Faculty, superintendents,
• 1:43:50
  the ones that really truely care, Thank you. Thank you to the
• 1:43:55
  parents that are raising their children right. Thank you to the grandmothers again that
• 1:43:59
  stepped in when you're children stepped out, so you're raising your grandchildren. Thank
• 1:44:02
  you for that. Thank you to the community that's still out there policing and
• 1:44:06
  making sure these children stay on the right path. Thank you for that.
• 1:44:11
  If no one has told you, I appreciate you, I love what you're
• 1:44:15
  doing. Keep up the good work. What you do never goes unrecognized,
• 1:44:20
  at least not in my eyes. Okay, So for the upcoming episodes for
• 1:44:30
  Black Girl interrupted, Yes, unless something changes Tuesday night, we are talking
• 1:44:36
  about you women and your selfish ways and why you keep running off good men,
• 1:44:41
  and then you wonder why you've seen because babies. Some of yall women
• 1:44:45
  are selfish. And then I'm into the month talking about domestic violence, and
• 1:44:50
  this time again I'm speaking to you women. Keep your hands to yourself,
• 1:44:58
  y'all worse than these kids. Keep your hands off these men babies. Stop
• 1:45:02
  that. And then, as you know, y'all, May for May is
• 1:45:06
  a mental health awareness month, So every episode for the month of May will
• 1:45:12
  be something in regards to mental health. Again, as a person that suffers
• 1:45:15
  from depression and anxiety, you will always get transparency from me. So if
• 1:45:23
  you are easily triggered, it's okay if you don't tune in for any other
• 1:45:28
  episodes for the month of May. I respect that, you know, because
• 1:45:31
  some people are not ready to deal with their issues there there addressed. Let
• 1:45:34
  me say this address their issues and I can. Again that's cool. I
• 1:45:39
  respect that. But again, for the whole month of May, I want
• 1:45:42
  to address mental illness. I want to remove continue to keep trying to remove
• 1:45:45
  the stigma in the black community because the suicide rate a months black boys and
• 1:45:50
  Black men is on the rise. Huh. Again, I am welcoming all
• 1:46:00
  guests if anyone wants to be a guest on Black Girl Interrupted Podcast. The
• 1:46:04
  emailers down at the bottom, shoot me an email. If there's a topic
• 1:46:10
  that you want me to address. If there's something that is going on in
• 1:46:14
  your city and you want someone to know about it, shoot me an email.
• 1:46:17
  Please give me twenty four to seventy two hours to respond. In that
• 1:46:21
  time, I will set up a meeting for us to sit down to discuss
• 1:46:25
  the topic, the conversation, and you know, work all the details out
• 1:46:30
  in the background. I do want to share some news with you guys.
• 1:46:33
  I will be interviewing on another podcast August the fifteenth. Once I get all
• 1:46:39
  the information, I will post it on my website www dot black Girl Interrupted
• 1:46:45
  podcast dot com, as well as any other updates that are that come my
• 1:46:51
  way. Will post it actually on my Facebook page. I'll post it on
• 1:46:58
  my Instagram. I'm gonna start doing things on ticktime, So y'all stay tuned
• 1:47:02
  for my upcoming interview with another podcast. Again, any exposure is good exposure.
• 1:47:09
  Again, I am trying to take Black Girl Interrupted to the next level.
• 1:47:14
  So again I want to say to each and every last person that tunes
• 1:47:18
  in with me, I love you guys. You guys are so freaking amazing.
• 1:47:25
  I love y'all. I love all the support that you guys give me.
• 1:47:29
  I appreciate the grace that you guys have given me, all the encouragement,
• 1:47:33
  the empowerment, the uplifting. I love you guys like y'all just don't
• 1:47:39
  understand that I could not do Black Girl Interrupted without y'all. I couldn't get
• 1:47:44
  back into my space without y'all. Y'all definitely have rallied and y'all have supported
• 1:47:49
  me, and I definitely want to give y'all your flowers on that because again,
• 1:47:54
  I do this for y'all. I do this for me, but I
• 1:47:57
  do it more so for y'all. Yes, yes, um, thank you,
• 1:48:03
  Diana. I love you so much. I can't wait. Uh,
• 1:48:09
  we need to do a show girl. We need to get together. We
• 1:48:12
  need to collab my girl. China. Oh my god, oh my god,
• 1:48:17
  y'all, let me tell you something. Y'all tap in with this young
• 1:48:21
  lady right here. China. She girl, she is like so freaking amazing.
• 1:48:29
  Thank you for tuning in, China. I've missed you so much.
• 1:48:33
  Still praying for you, still sending lots of love and power, power positive
• 1:48:38
  energy your way. Thank you soave. I love you too, honey,
• 1:48:42
  I promise I do. Um China says, I'll definitely hit you up about
• 1:48:46
  the girls and boys going missing in Virginia. It's getting out of hand,
• 1:48:50
  China. I need to connect with you because I'm actually wanting to put a
• 1:48:56
  panel together because I want to discuss femicide as well. So definitely want to
• 1:49:00
  get with you on that because that is a conversation that needs to be put
• 1:49:04
  on the forefront as well. So many things, so many things that we
• 1:49:11
  need to address that it's being swept too far into the rug. I definitely
• 1:49:17
  want to address that missing because we get little to no media coverage when black
• 1:49:24
  girls are black boys, are black men, and black women go missing,
• 1:49:28
  versus when white women, white men, white boys, white girls go missing.
• 1:49:31
  It's all over the news. And again, I wanted to bring let
• 1:49:38
  me bring this point up really quickly. So there was a young lady in
• 1:49:42
  New York who was in the car with a friend that pulled into the wrong
• 1:49:45
  driveway and she was shot by the owner of the house. And she really
• 1:49:54
  got no coverage but raised more for a go fund me than they did Ralph
• 1:50:00
  y'arll. But Ralph y'arll story did not get put on the forefront until celebrities
• 1:50:05
  and the community came out to rally and advocate for Andrew Lester to be arrested.
• 1:50:11
  So go figure. But China, I definitely want to discuss that because
• 1:50:18
  this is happening far too often, and these stories are getting little to no
• 1:50:23
  publicity, and I think it's sad, and we have the platform to do
• 1:50:28
  it, and I think now is the time we need to utilize our platforms
• 1:50:31
  for positive things and less toxic shit. So let me just go ahead and
• 1:50:35
  put that out there, Okay. So I'm definitely with you, China.
• 1:50:40
  I love you so much. I am so happy to see your face.
• 1:50:45
  You'll see I love your post on Instagram. I'm always showing you some kind
• 1:50:47
  of love to let you know that I'm still watching you in the background,
• 1:50:50
  and I'm very proud of everything that you've overcome, with everything that you've gone
• 1:50:55
  through. So I'm very proud of you. So I want to give you
• 1:50:57
  your flowers on that Diana say, you know, I'm downlight full flat to
• 1:51:01
  babe bet on a Cadillac Hill. China says, Paul, thank you.
• 1:51:06
  I've been watching this whole time. I appreciate it. Y'all Like I said,
• 1:51:12
  my goal is, I'm ready to take Black Girl Interrupted podcast to another
• 1:51:16
  level. I'm ready to do that. I'm ready to start hosting conferences.
• 1:51:20
  I'm ready to start being at pop up shops. And I want to do
• 1:51:25
  this for no money. I don't want to charge anybody to come to the
• 1:51:30
  events that I want to have. I don't because I'm not doing this for
• 1:51:32
  the money. I'm doing this because this is what I wholeheartedly, genuinely want
• 1:51:36
  to do. Because I want to help the black boys and the black girls
• 1:51:41
  that look just like me. I want to help our community because if we
• 1:51:45
  don't look out for us, who will. So let me get out of
• 1:51:51
  here before I start crying, because y'all already know I'm the biggest cry baby
• 1:51:55
  in the whole entire world. But I do. I want to take Black
• 1:51:59
  Girl Interrupted to the next level. I want to become a household name,
• 1:52:02
  and I want to do this because this is what I love to do,
• 1:52:05
  and not for money, not for monetary game, because I don't care about
• 1:52:09
  that. Because guess what, as long as God keeps allowing me to do
• 1:52:13
  what I do, that's repayment enough. And I'm gonna end on that one
• 1:52:17
  so don't forget. And I said I would, y'all know on the biggest
• 1:52:30
  prot baby ever. But let me hold these tears in. Um. But
• 1:52:34
  again, I love y'all so much. I appreciate all the leven supports that
• 1:52:38
  y'all continue to show me each and every episode that I bring to y'all every
• 1:52:41
  week. Again, I promised I was gonna stay consistent, and I've done
• 1:52:45
  just that. Um, but don't forget. You can catch Black Girl Interrupted

• 1:54:30
  Regardless of what you're going through, do not let any obstacle keep you down.
• 1:54:35
  You get up, you dust yourself up, and you keep going.
• 1:54:38
  You keep going no matter how many times you call, God gives us another
• 1:54:41
  day to make it. And do it all over again. I promise you,
• 1:54:45
  this is what we do. This is what we're supposed to do.
• 1:54:48
  We're supposed to love, we're supposed to encourage, we're supposed to empower,
• 1:54:51
  we're supposed to uplift, and we don't do it enough. It does not
• 1:54:56
  take from you to celebrate someone else's victory. Just not. Oh goodness,
• 1:55:01
  y'all. I promise. I said I was not gonna cry. Y'all got
• 1:55:04
  me up emotional, But I do want to say that whatever it is that
• 1:55:09
  you're going through, you got it. You got it, you got it,
• 1:55:11
  You're gonna make it. Do not worry about what someone else tells you,
• 1:55:15
  because even though man says you can't do it, God always, I'm
• 1:55:17
  gonna tell you that you can. Oh, I look, I love so
• 1:55:28
  much I do. And I'm proud of y'all. Regardless of where you are
• 1:55:32
  in life, Baby, I'm proud of you. I don't care where you're
• 1:55:35
  started. I'm just I'm just proud of where you're finished. I'm proud of
• 1:55:41
  where you are in life right now. We all started rough. It all
• 1:55:45
  started rough. But you know what, Pet yourself on the back and congratulate
• 1:55:47
  yourself that you no longer live at that address anymore. You get what I'm
• 1:55:51
  saying, So you you salute yourself on that. Do not be discouraged.
• 1:55:58
  Do not let anyone tell you what you cannot do. Baby, do it.
• 1:56:01
  Who cares? If one person supports you, if twenty people support you,
• 1:56:06
  you keep going because guess what. God is gonna keep blessing you because
• 1:56:11
  guess what we are in a blessing season. That's what's going on right now.
• 1:56:15
  I know it may be uncomfortable, but guess what. Sometimes you gotta
• 1:56:17
  get uncomfortable to get comfortable. So ooh, y'all. So Suave says,
• 1:56:26
  let's go. She says, you got this. Sister Angela says, I
• 1:56:30
  will support for a fact, and I appreciate y'all. Diana, I know
• 1:56:33
  it, I know it. It happens, y'all, It happens. Suave
• 1:56:38
  says, I need to hear that and thank you, because again, you
• 1:56:41
  don't know what a person's going through. You don't know where a person is
• 1:56:44
  right now in their life. We might be stuck, we may feel like
• 1:56:46
  I feed us or sucking a siement. But just no, baby, God
• 1:56:50
  makes he works magic, Baby, he works miracles. Baby, he can
• 1:56:55
  make move in and mountain in any obstacle out of your way. You just
• 1:56:57
  got to believe in him. If you're gonna worry, gonna pray. But
• 1:57:00
  if you're gonna pray, don't worry. You got the trust guy. You
• 1:57:02
  got to leave it with him. You got to know that he is gonna
• 1:57:04
  lead you right where you need to be. We have to step out on
• 1:57:08
  faith. Baby. We can no longer be afraid of what's waiting for us
• 1:57:11
  on the other side of the dope. Because anytime I tell your baby,
• 1:57:14
  guard always gives you something bigger and greater than what you had. So I
• 1:57:17
  just want to leave y'all with that. It was just on my heart to
• 1:57:20
  pass it on. Maybe that's my dad as talking through me because my father
• 1:57:24
  was a was a pastor. Maybe that's him speaking through me, and I
• 1:57:27
  was supposed to give you that message today. I don't know, but I
• 1:57:30
  don't never question the things that come out of my mouth because it was meant.
