Bullying the Voiceless 

Hi

blazing panda13 he doesn’t have autism he burned something in his house and he must’ve went in a coma and thats why he sounds like that

I don’t know w people who will it’d

VICE News please I want to help these kids how can I ?

VICE News please do an update of these kids. Please

Yeah That is really true. i feel so bad when i watch this

i want spanky as a little bro so i can protect him. it makes me so sad. I'm literally crying

Nina Mccringle makes me wanna adopt him and give him a proper shot at a future. So agree with you! bless

That is what the fucking ghetto is like. I live in upstate NY and none of that shit be happening here.

Ken Bollins

Actually it' s Like that

I feel like the teacher was trying to get spanky to deal with it and to ignore the student making fun of him to prepare spanky for the real world. It's not the best choice made by the teacher but I think I could see why he did it. Yes the teacher should have approached the situation in a different way.

Why is that teacher asking him to read..... if he knows this is happening

+mewtwomotherfuka in some states they don't have open book. for the sake of those who cannot read.

They should have open book so people can learn how to read and pronouce words correctly. If you cant do it in class, where can you do it? I mean in this specific case, i dont thing he should be askiing him to read.... he didnt raise his hand or nothing. If hes talking like that because hes nervous, it seems like it is because he is nervous.... then i dont think the teacher should be calling on him. Now, the teacher could have been trying to get him to be more confident even with the laughy-ness so he could stop be nervous and talk normally. But i dont think this was an appropriate time to do so,

they make him read out loud so he grows confidence and wont be left out, its sad but they do it for a good purpose

@@kevinfranco871 I doubt he was building confidence by kids bullying him. The coach gave him confidence

The teacher stupid asf he made him read knowing he will get mocked and didn’t even discipline the people who were mocking him no wonder nobody listens to the teacher when he has no clue how to even control them

@@kevinfranco871 I have to disagree, Confidence is built with encouragement and feeling safe, this situation is the complete opposite .

@@Ousmanethur then let the kid mocking him keep reading, old man is slow🤦🏼

I feel like Cortez could be a better kid too but likewise has some self-improvement to do, and could also use a better environment.

spanky seems normal to me he just needs the help he never got and hes off to a brighter future than the other kids, i understand his situation but hes the only kid on this docu series making that extra step by accepting the teachers/staffs help. spanky got my respect. much love!

Honestly man I hate that he's alone and feels like there's nothing he can do and he just has to sit and take the bullying.

@@Mogwaisan very unfair,,nobody deserves that kind of treatment.....

@@jeromykaluwasha2609 no I'm saying I hate that he thinks he has to sit their and take it. I worded it wrongly

yeah he would best in a normal school where kids would actually get in trouble for straight up bullying him

+Louis Mulcahy That kid that fucking took the mick out of his vocal problem made me so mad, I just wanted to punch that prick and just hug Spanky.

im the same way lol i go to an alternative school the same time as this one but its in hillside Illinois im urban i know whats going on around me and i dont do anything like the kids here im quiet aF just thinking to myself about how horrible these kids are and i dont get out of that school until sr year which is the end of this year and ill be good

there is no school in Chicago Illinois that don't start a fight

but do you know what he did to be brought to this school

Facts

That’s a crock of sh💩💩. Ignoring the bully usually makes things worse.

He should've raised his voice or sent him to the principal office.

@@silverstrike5904 - did you even watched or you slow asf?

😂😂

He always letting these kids bully him 😭

Nah bru he just gave up

Pick your battles, he's not there to argue with them, the kids who want to learn will listen to him read and not the other kid disrupting. He's gonna ask and he's gonna ask every day and one day that kid is gonna read

😂😂😂

Mujtaba Alam That’s how it is when you’re trying to get your point across this actually is common with speech impediments especially in argumentative cases cause you’re more tuned in on trying to sound normal so people stop fucking with you I used to really struggle with saying my R’s and Th’s and typically I would be able to get them out easier when I was upset or trying to get a point across I’ve corrected it more now that I’m older

I get people with speaking problems my sister stutters alot not on purpose

@@R8er1980 6 months ago i feel that this is due to his anxiety and nerves and fear

Yeah I thought it was fake for a sec

Mujtaba Alam I fully agree

Preach

Seriously, I have never had bullying stop because I ignored them. in any other situation, ignoring the problem will not help, so it pisses me off that it’s taught in school. There is a certain way to react to situations, and ignoring the situation is almost never the answer.

@@lowkeyemo6340 couldn’t agree more. Seriously. I hope you’re able to move past the tolls it can take you on. You’re worth so much more than what they told you

the bully just got killed in chicago a couple days ago

Cleopatra Starseed I feel like the coach really cares and gets to the kids

@@simranmanku2512 he does,in episode one he was very nice with Spanky

For me he seems to speak more clearly when he's angry/in a compromised situation

Confidence did it. He talked normally when he was angry.

That teacher is doing his best. You gotta understand that this teacher is special. He is patient and level-headed. Trust he speaks to the bullied child alone. Just can't stage some sort of intervention mid-class. Would do more harm than good. I been that bullied kid so I know.

@@abrahamben-dayan9843 they could’ve just easily removed him from the classroom, the teacher literally did nothing to help him besides telling him to “sit down” and “ignore him” which doesn’t help at all.

@@isit2012yet Bro, with all due respect, consider the context. This isnt a normal school. These are special education kids with emotional regulation disorders. You have no idea what a godsend a patient man like that is. Consider what happens if the teacher starts to get into a trench war with the bully. The bully just waits until class is out, and then continues harassing the kid on the bus, and online. There’s not much recourse a teacher has in that situation. The best you can do unfortunately is give good advice to the victim and speak in private. And dont act like he didn’t call the bully out. He did. And you are judging the teacher based off of a 10 second clip, you arent actually down there putting in the work to help out these kids like this man is. i’m sure he speaks with the bullies in private and tries to change their behavior when cameras are off. He doesn’t teach there for the money, I can assure you that. People that work there are a special, amazing breed of people. Again… not much recourse. Not like he can threaten to expel or suspend the kids, the kids don’t care, and they would prefer that over school. I’ve explained this to you in the clearest way that I can. I’ll reiterate: This. teacher. Did. The. Best. Possible. Thing. He. Could. Do. I had a teacher that publicly defended me against bullying. Trust me it didn’t help, it just made it worse for me. It put a division between me and the rest of the class even more. although it felt good in the moment, and the teacher had my best interest at heart, it just doesn’t work that way! Kids can be cruel and heartless sometimes. A good teacher knows how to field situations. Cant always just do what feels good/right in the moment. ESPECIALLY in a school built for the express purpose of helping problem children. Doing what he does helps in the long term slowly but surely, trust me…

The kid that’s bullying is a L

@@aaronbison8202 you just ended bullying by saying that

One problem at a time, man.

Who do you suggest takes the initiative to make all that happen as well as paying for it?

@@jonasjulien4348 Healthcare, including psychological and emotional care, should be a right for every citizen of the wealthiest country in the world. We pay taxes to pay for public schools, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. already, so why should we not expand on that so that EVERY single person can access the care that they need when they need it? We spent $732,000,000,000 on defense spending in one year from 2018-2019. Compare that to the $726,000,000,000 spent during the same time by China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, the UK, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil...COMBINED. The next 10 top GDP countries combined!!!!!!!! That is totally insane!!! There is NO REASON some funding could not be diverted. Not to mention our tax system is fucked. Huge corporations pay absolutely nothing. Rich individuals find loopholes in the tax system and cheat the country. My point is, we are the wealthiest country in the world. Seeing people suffer like Spanky is suffering isn't right and I know we are capable of fixing it. I just don't know if we are willing.

It's spanky

What's new

Legally there isn't much he can do besides tell him to stop. The school district has very strict rules for teachers

What was he supposed to do? These kids don't care about being suspended or expelled, that's exactly what they want.

teacher wont be able to save him from the wolves outside the school gates..

I wonder how he is today...

@@sandrinojohnsun9949they said that he’s actually doing good

Soo sad.why would his mom stay with someone like that?

@@beccasmithers2672 drugs, money, fear. Its messed up honestly and I can barely understand what these people go through, honestly it upsets me quite a bit.

Becca Smithers probably didn’t have a choice. They didn’t have money for a new house, and if she tried to kick him out of the house or break up with him he would probably murder her

i thought it was funny af tbh

Yeah that’s because of the shit he witnessing him do he scared of his own dad that’s fucked up

He is less black than others

Tyran you can’t be “less black” or “more black” than someone unless you’re referring to pigmentation alone. But seeing as your saying that he’s “less black” when he’s actually kinda dark means you’re referring to him as a person which means your statement can’t even come close to being true.

You are right and these types of teachers are getting paid nothing to do a pretty hard job when it comes to troubled youth they should be getting paid double if not triple

The teacher should drag that little trash bully to the ground and beat the shit out of him.

Sylvia brown I’m Spanky

Landon Tristen no kid deserves to be bullied at all

Damnit give spanky some fucking love you maniacs. At least he's trying. Trying real hard

He needs a better teacher too

bullying is not new but did you stand up for the kid that was bullied

All them children going through something

Shit's terrible. I can't imagine living like that.

I really hope Spank becomes successful and comes out the hood. It seems like he tries so hard but gets bullied and he eventually can't control it when a cuss word slips

+Yomama toldme I hope it

I just wanna give him a hug

+Amanda “sunnytime1222” H the poor kid thinks its normal too... i feel for him so much. i hope hes doing good

You mean he didn't get him to stop. I know the kid's name was Joseph because the teacher kept asking him to stop and read correctly. The coach told you years ago when he first started a kid hit him with a chair...in this type of school, teasing another student with no violence isn't the big issue of the day.

Yeah, that's true.

Especially with the trauma from his past

He was playing with a lighter and set his couch on fire and the smoke did that

U could say spanky

justcallme... He will join his dad in his cell.

looks like he will be fine if he sticks with the basketball seems like the better group of kids there and the coach seems great. he will mature a little and hopefully learn to ignore the rest of the assholes. A entirely different situation for him would be great but not likely due to his "aggressiveness" towards other students that got him there.

Facts

I'm surprised no one contacted CPS

@@animefan2454 Ikr

same tho

you could be right, but you don't see behind the scenes. from my outlook i look at it as them trying to break out of his "shell" of low self esteem and once he slows down his thoughts and speaks with confidence he'll be able to form proper sentences and then obviously speak fluently from there

Um... serious speech impediment?!? Uh, no. Did you listen to what he said?? He said it "just" started a few months ago! Seems pretty clear to me that the poor kid has pretty serious anxiety disorder! I do agree however, that he needs to see a professional to help him control his anxiety & learn how to deal with it! True, the coach may not quite understand his "speaking issue", but he means well and I think he gets "through" to many of those kids! In fact you heard the boy, "coach is a good person". Clearly he means something to this little boy! Also, what a sweet, thoughtful boy, worrying about his mom & sisters being abused, even though his dad is probably hurting him too!

***** Dont be so down on yourself. Thats nonsense to say "the school was too good for you". Adolescent youth can be cruel in general, its not your issue. And the education system has been broken in this country for years now, the schools should be helping these kids situations more than teaching them about things that are in no way relevant to them (i know they do both but) - The curriculum needs to be updated to the 21st century. I dont blame you for hating it, I hated it myself.

The last thing he and his family should be worryiing about is his speech probl.ems. He and all the others who go to schools like this have emotional and mental problems as result from parents. What we really need to do as a nation is to not only help the kids but get the parents involvement. This people live in poverty, how would they be able to afford any speech therapy. They live in a world we could not evenn imagine, life around drugs, poverty, and stereotypes just bringing down these people

GamingTaylor He speaks that way out of anxiety. Many portions of the video he is speaking normally. The mom said he actually is speaking the same way his sister did coming out of a coma when she accidentally was set on fire. They said he's only been doing it about 6 months. You have to watch the next video in order to understand

Bee Kaye keep doing it

Interesting observation

we need an update about Spanky!!

how many trains was ran thru u

that’s all the teacher can say bro

I ain't never got bullied but thats true asf

He’s in jail now

@@killingeveedits8228 yea I guess

Lexi Squid true

He also needs a new place to live, a new school to attend, and to have his father kept away from him. I'd adopt that kid in a heartbeat and do anything I could to help him. It breaks my heart to see a kid as young as he is already suffering from severe anxiety and PTSD. He seems like he has a good heart, but has obviously been traumatized and treated badly enough for a large enough portion of his life that his PTSD is manifesting itself in the form of literally leaving him speechless. He says in this video that his speech problem only started about 6 months ago (as of the time this was filmed), and I'd be willing to place a bet that that 6 month time frame coincides with when his convicted murderer father, who he is obviously terrified of, got out of prison. He probably talked back to his dad, got severely beaten, and now is literally so afraid to speak that he physiologically can't do it because something in his brain is telling him "talking back is what caused me to get hurt just don't ever talk". It's really sad. I'd bet if he were removed from his horribly unfortunate situation, shown proper care and attention, and had certified, trained professionals to help him learn methods to help cope with his traumatic childhood he could become a completely new person in a way. I'm largely just speculating here, but I've studied child psychology long enough to get a pretty good idea of what's happened during his childhood.

Kids with these extreme behavioural issues are so angry due to trauma....they’re one second from boiling over 24/7. An emotion we might experience once in a lifetime or never. They don’t want to be removed from home, into an unknown which might be worse. It’s the responsibility of all us as a community to uplift it’s youngest members.

Pre7ch poor kid...makes me sad and angry at the same time...

Pre7ch I would agree with you that spanky is mentally traumatized for the fact he deserves to be in a regular public school system really.

Pre7ch yeah u prolly already watched it but the next episode is about how he accidently set his own house on fire and he burned his sisters. Its sad becuase he really didnt mean it. If u destroyed your home, and your burned your sisters, that guilt would lay so heavy on your chest it would be hard to speak. I can speak from expierence i went through something traumatic and i wasnt talking right after. Like my air wasnt leaving my vocals right.

And beat the shit out of the fucking bullies:)

I 100% agree!

TheMultiModzz hahahaha i want a friend like u who'll have my back if i got bullied

Me 2

Let me explain a little bit, these teachers are there to teach them to ignore others and to keep there tempers at bay as well as ignoring the bullies and other bad people cause mainly with kids, when they are challenged, want to hurt others.

i completely agree. This is so saddening.

You're the only person talking real sense on here

***** I second that and that's the sad a lot of people don't care that's why these children end up like this

I think for most of these kids, even the best psychiatrists in the world couldn't save them. People have to WANT to change and for most of these kids it looks like they don't give one shit about doing so. They might say they do, but the moment you turn your back or let them out of your sight, they'll immediately go back to being who they really are.

What burns me up, is that even if some people are told, " You do not have the necessary skills to raise a child. If you have children, they will grow up with emotional problems, and will never be able to form any meaningful relationships." Would that stop anyone as selfish as most people are? Even knowing their child will walk through life alone? A social outcast? So, how can a psychiatrist fix that? How do you fix something, that was broken before it was even made?

God bless him💓
