Timothy Murray lost his father earlier this year and had been asking his principal for counseling when she called in the police

More guns. Apparently.
As long as the right people have them
Well thats just an entire chain of people that are so completely divorced from reality, common sense, and compassion, that humanity would only benefit from them being skimmed out of the gene pool.

People think Texas is the lone star state. The reality is that Texas is the one Star review state.
I think you are being very generous with that one star, lol.
The devs don’t let you give no stars. A design flaw, imo.
This seems very strange, like it took place in a parallel universe or something.
America is a bit like a parallel universe
More like a whole parallel multiverse with how each state has its own set of quirks
One mother said that, after a meeting with Garza about her 5-year-old in which her own mom questioned the school’s special education plan for the boy, Garza called Child Protective Services on her.
Garza’s mom questioned it? Or the 5yr old’s? Or the mother of the 5yr old’s? Who is “her” referencing?
5-year-old, mom, and grandma showed up to the meeting with the principal. Grandma questioned the school’s special education plan. Principal called CPS on mom.

You may want to reconsider your own reading comprehension.
One mother said that, after a meeting… in which her own mom questioned the school’s… [plans], Garza called Child Protective Services on her.
Who is her and her own mom?
It is not specified at all.
You also completely failed to address the question at hand. OP asked who the “her” in “her own mom” is referring to. Your modified sentence doesn’t even acknowledge the “her” in question.
I want to get off Mr Bones wild ride.
Data from Brownsville ISD seen by The Observer showed its officers made 3,102 student arrests between May 2021 and Nov. 2023. Nearly 60% of those were on felony charges and 76 of those kids were in elementary school.
What the everliving fuck is wrong with these people?
It’s Texas. They’ve NEVER been afraid of letting everyone know just how big of pieces of shit they are.
Everything’s bigger in Texas.
Its Texas lol. Our government prides itself on having no empathy or compassion whatsoever.
See the list of executed juvenile offenders before the federal government made it illegal:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_for_juveniles_in_the_United_States
Or the time the state was in contempt of court for years because they didn’t want to revise the excessively cruel CPS system.
That’s just absolutely fucking insane.
if you actually want to protect kids, this is the shit you form a posse to go protect right? for all the people worried about children this is where you would show up at the court and/or prison and demand their release?
Dude this is in Uvalde. They already let a couple of fat cops prevent them from saving their kids.
Americans have truly lost their minds…
Only about half of us, but yeah.
Please send help.
Giving more reasons to defund them
Easy there. Finding reason to defund public schools is Greg Abbot’s wet dream. It’s the first step toward his goal of state vouchers to religious schools.
Also consider that Brownsville is a border town of mostly Hispanic residents. What better sacrificial lamb to demonstrate the evils of public schools?

That’s some great critical thinking right there. Well thought out…

Think defund, and reallocation of resources.
This is the same detention center that had an employee who embezzled 1.2 million dollars worth of fajitas over the course of 9 years. He only got caught because he took the day off to go to a doctor’s appointment and a delivery of 800lbs of skirt steak showed up that no one else was expecting.
What I’m saying here is the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center isn’t known for the fastidious oversight of its employees.
I’m not even mad. I’m impressed, that’s amazing.
The Fajita Bandit has become a bit of a local folk hero, partly because of how ridiculous the story is, and partly because (in retrospect) fajitas were more reasonably priced in Cameron County than they had any right to be.
What a hero. A modern day Robin Hood.
…. Wtf is some one gonna do with 800 pounds of fajita?
Sell it to local restaurants for less than the county paid for it.

Could you be so kind to log off and stop commenting?
I’ve tried to understand what the charges are, as far as I could tell it seems it’s somehow related to an anti terrorist law and caused by the kid pulling someone’s hair and gesturing to cut paper with scissors, which was interpreted as gesturing to cut a finger.
The article seems to try very hard to obfuscate the actual reason (I’m guessing for legal reasons?)
In any case, this seems insane, seems like excessive overreaction from everyone involved.
its because there is no actual reason for it. they are still trying to document one
texas, you fuckin cowards.
Texas, bruh.
Unless the kid brained someone with a tee ball trophy, I categorize this penalty in the “extreme” category.
I thought the same thing. Here’s the archived Texas Observer article on it, which is what this article’s source seems to be.
Apparently the principal heard from another student that this kid was “making threats” against her. Sounds pretty thin to me.
The whole thing is weird.
His ordeal began five days later. In the late morning of September 8, Timothy was pulled out of music class and ushered into a room where he found Garza, Assistant Principal Michelle Saucedo, a district police officer, and a counselor sent from the district’s central administrative office. He was told another student had just reported that Timothy said he was planning to kill the principal. Rincon said she was called and rushed to the school but was not allowed to be in the room while Timothy was being questioned.
“When the police officer had his body cam off, they were yelling and telling me, ‘We’re gonna go to the full extent. We’re gonna put you in a lockbox,’” Timothy said. “Then, when the body cam was finally on, they were so nice.”
Timothy told me he had explained to the school and district officials that the accusations were not true, that the only conversation he had that morning was with two other boys about wearing his sweater over his uniform.
Rincon has received only a school conduct referral form, on which administrators wrote that “Timothy told another student that his hair was messy because he was up all night to come up with a plan to kill Mrs. Garza (principal).” Underneath, Timothy wrote: “No I was not up all night I just forgot [to comb my hair].”
On the bottom of the form, administrators had written: “OSS [out-of-school suspension] 3 days 9/11-9/13.”

Not the point of this article/topic but why is law enforcement required to wear body cameras but they can turn them off whenever they want!? That’s asking for abuse! Unless they’re using the restroom (and even then I’d lean towards an independent reviewer deleting footage, if anyone). These are public servants on-the-clock! If there’s no enforcement, there’s no consequences to purposely deactivating the taxpayer-funded camera they’re supposed to be operating under…
So it started with a kid who made up a really tall tale, told it to an adult in the form of completely unsubstantiated hearsay, which the admins for some mysterious reason chose to belief. Those admins must be either stupid or malicious.
I’m leaning towards maliciousness, jealousy and spite as the most likely reasons for why this is happening.

What kind of incompetent principal reacts to trouble making elementary schoolers by calling the cops on them?
The same that calls CPS on parents
Other parents have also complained to the outlet about the principal. One mother said that, after a meeting with Garza about her 5-year-old in which her own mom questioned the school’s special education plan for the boy, Garza called Child Protective Services on her.
This ain’t incompetence, this is a power trip. She also called CPS on a mother for questioning her special education needs program
“So, when my daughters were young, all three of them, I would take them with me to school,” she said. “One of them would answer the phone, the other one would help me deliver textbooks, and the other one would help me do something else. So, they grew up there. … They’re just fantastic.”
Is this kinda… weird? I remember liking to help my dad out once in a while with simple tasks since I had to stay with him at work, but I don’t know how I’d feel about doing it every day.
I don’t know if I would say “weird”. I think it is unusual. Shouldn’t they have been going to class? Why was the principal in charge of delivering textbooks? How often do textbooks need to be delivered anyway?

Excuse me but what are those dreams exactly 🌚
Also, the interior of the photo in the second article looks posh, I wonder if it’s a school interior.

This article:
https://www.texasobserver.org/why-was-this-11-year-old-honor-roll-student-put-in-solitary/
Should shed some light on the subject. Particularly:
Garza comes from a Brownsville education legacy. Her mother, Rachel Medina Ayala, was one of Brownsville Independent School District’s first female superintendents. Garza’s two sisters are also principals in the district.
So, in answer to your question:
What kind of incompetent principal reacts to trouble making elementary schoolers by calling the cops on them?
A nepotism hire with a vindictive streak.
Jesus Christ, I didn’t even know dynastic public school administrators was a thing…
The DA that’s refusing to drop charges shares the same last name.
This principle sounds like such utter shit. The world would be much better off without her.
