It’s legal to post the kid’s name and mugshot. How do you think they got it? From the state or somebody. If it wasn’t legal, it would not be here because the newspaper and the TV couldn’t get it.

Im am a student there but I don’t know him but he looks like a football player. Im so glad though that I didn’t get a knife pulled on me and I hope that the friends that did have the knife pulled on them are okay. All I know is that we were on a code yellow for about 30 minutes.

My daughter goes to EWMS and she has no idea who the kid is but they were in code yellow for half of the 6th and 7th period but no one in her class knew what was happening but I hope he is kicked out of every school he tries to go to because I don’t need him pulling a knife on my kid. Also, he may have been getting bullied but he looks like a football player and most of them don’t get bullied most football players are popular. But I hope that the people who commented on here their kid(s) didn’t get a knife pulled on them.

@Mom…I’m proud of your children speaking up about the bullies, that’s something hard to do. I had grandchildren that went to that school and one was bullied, even though it was reported nothing was done. It’s a shame the adults won’t stand up for the children being bullied, I think they rather ignore what’s going on. Maybe time for different staffing. It doesn’t make it right for violence, then again if he has asked for help and no one there has helped they need to look at themselves being part of the problem.

Mom 2 boys, check your kids fact telling. I can’t speak for all the victims, but the kid wasn’t bullied by all of them. Shame on you for posting something that could discount their feelings. Even if he was being bullied…taking a knife to solve your issues is never the answer. You are an adult. Do better adulting.

It’s sad to see him like that, I’ve known him for 2 years now and never thought he would do something. he was a good kid in school he was nice until one day he got mad at a girl and tried to start a fight. I don’t know really anything but I do know the people he pulled the knife out on. it will be different without him there and I truly hope he gets better

I’m pretty surprised at some of these comments. We are all grown adults right?
Kids will be kids and yes that means making bad decisions. We learn and we grow and we become adults that are held accountable for our actions.
I actually have sympathy for the young boy. No one knows the true story and probably never will. I hope the judge is understanding and gets him help rather than jail time.

“And I’m pretty sure posting his name and picture is against the law, he’s minor ( Knowledge from working for the sheriff)”

You need a little more on the job training. It’s legal.
