I’m sure you have seen the video of the 6 year old who shot the teacher in Newport News.
The woman who is holding him and protecting him is exceptional. While this kid verbally abuses the officers and calls her a bi$ch - she holds him, she protects him. Even after what he did until the police finally escort the child away.
This is a tragic situation but the compassion this woman exhibited to this child is worth public accolade.
She was calm. The child was calm with her and followed her directions. She was so brave.
It’s easy to criticize public schools. But when you see someone like this keeping the officers calm, the child calm and herself calm all while providing helpful information - quite frankly - she deserves a medal.
Whoever you are - thank you for being an exceptional human being on such a tragic day.
