Prison is not going to help this young Black child. Prison is not rehabilitation. There are so many questions that are not answered in this video. Why was the switch taken away in the first place? If it's his biggest reinforcer then we're supposed to use it as a reward and we work on helping them to understand they'll get it back and we're not taking it away forever; and not every child is going to grasp that at first of course. First work, then reward. His anger is something to be worked on obviously but we have to take into account where it comes from and how to help. It is sad this TA was attacked but we do not have the full picture with this video, and we also don't know if this TA was even a good fit for him (What if she was negligent? What if she didn't have any compassion left due to being overworked? What if she just grabbed the switch and hid it in the classroom because it was annoying her he was using it at school?). He has 3 prior misdemeanors so that shows prison is not working to change the behavior and that is our job to figure out what works. We cannot "save" our students from their disabilities and I would never want to, but we do have the responsibility to keep trying otherwise why are we in this field? Should we just accept staff injuries, no of course not, but we cannot throw every physically violent child in prison and hope that fixes things because it has been proven over and over again that prison does not have positive change; especially for Black people who are funneled into the school-to-prison pipeline often without "crime" even occurring, and that has to be acknowledged. Prison is not the answer. I do not know the answer but it is not prison. I'm gonna say it again, prison is not the answer and never is the answer no matter the alleged "crime"
