dc2london - I'm glad she got questions about it, I hope something is done immediately. That is not how human beings should be treated. For any reason. April was furious. And I think Jen was in a tough spot because, like, she is a US Government official, she can't speak in her personal capacity from the briefing room, and she obviously doesn't have all the details of the situation yet so she has to be very careful what she says because it will be used against her. So she kinda had to be like, "This is absolutely appalling and I don't know what the context was, but I can't imagine any sort of context that would make this remotely acceptable" And April, rightfully, pushed back saying that it's obviously never going to be ok and there should be immediate firings.

Have we discussed the challenge where students are damaging bathrooms at school?
I just received an email from the principal that it happened at the kiddos school today, so I wondered if others here have been impacted yet.

I'm guessing it's a white kid who started the tiktok trend.

To that note, I’ve grown weary of all my true crime podcasts (especially Dateline), because 98% of the cases are about white women. If anyone has any recs that aren’t so white-centered, please let me know. Finding Cleo is fucking amazing. I’m on episode 3. I have to keep taking breaks. It’s heartbreaking and intense.

There was an article about this being a problem in my district. I know they don't have fully developed brains yet but stealing the soap during a pandemic is such complete assholery I would be humiliated and enraged if my kid did this

We got the alert last week, I don’t know if it’s happened at my kids middle school but it has in the other ones across the district. Not surprisingly the vandals have been caught, suspended and are now up for expulsion. So ridiculous.

I am not sure what to do from here, but I hope the kids realize what a mistake this is somehow.

We’re friendly with our middle school principal outside of school and I messaged him that I miss the tide pod days. He just laughed. I feel awful. We’re in an anti mask state, school just came back from a virtual break to bring numbers down and they are climbing again, and it’s all just wall to wall stress.

Cops were at the high school last week and they were in my middle school today. Kids have been ripping the soap dispensers off everyday and throwing them in the toilets. And halfway through the day Friday we got an email saying kids were stealing keys and phones as TikTok devious lick trophies and to keep those items close or locked away. So of course some asshole kid swiped my computer mouse off my desk last period, of all things. I spent over two hours Friday evening on the phone with parents about it. It's complete bullshit and I'm pissed. The kids who have been caught have been suspended and are being held responsible for the cost the replace the dispensers. It's still complete bullshit.

Excuse me? (not that I'm really surprised) I really really need to break up with FB. Damn their FB groups! Same. Facebook has helped me witness some local business owners showing their asses, so it’s hard to leave. My community uses it quite a bit for information and recommendation. I haven’t figured out how to get that info without it.

I generally cannot do true crime because at a certain point I get past the curiosity factor and just get depressed about how often women and children are subjected to violence. And like you all said, how many of those stories are totally ignored. So far, I can only hang in there with the Murdaugh family because there's so much going on that I am still curious. I used to be able to true crime, but something very dateline-esqe happened at work and suddenly true crime culture felt very intrusive. We're still dealing with the trauma and fall out and interviewers are calling because it makes good tv.

Well this is the first I’m hearing of this bathroom vandalism stuff. What the hell. Why are kids the way they are. I would be so upset if one of my kids did that. I mean they are too young right now but lord knows what shit will be coming up in 6 years when middle school hits.

I just received an email from the principal that it happened at the kiddos school today, so I wondered if others here have been impacted yet. This has been a hot mess at both my teenagers’ schools. One bathroom closed because all the mirrors were down. All the soap dispensers stolen from another IN A PANDEMIC.

I can't with the border patrol, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK LITERSLLY hate the BP with every fiber in my being. I find any of them completely reprehensible human beings and wish they’d get stuck in the fucking desert with no water, no food, and no help. And when they think they’ve found water, realize the bottle was slashed open so it all drained out and then they fall on a fucking cactus. Yes yes I’m going to hell. man that was cathartic to write out.

I think horse back and whips is something that BP has historically used, or at least certainly isn’t new. There aren’t enough awful adjectives to describe it.

This is extra terrible to hear they are taking your things. I am glad the people responsible were caught. I am just in disbelief at this point. Like how do these kids continue on in school when you know what they have done to it.

My husband does cabling work and is at a few school locations this week. I called to tell him what is going on and to report anything in case. He probably thinks I am pranking him, but I read the school email to him. He asked what tools they are using....I can't get passed why kids are even touching urinals!
