I'm old enough to have sobbed reading contemporaneous news articles about moms in their 80s caring for their (mostly) sons in their 50s dying of AIDS. Not to speak of historical accounts of families dying together of the Black Death, rendering the tenderest of care until they were too incapacitated.

This generation is fucked.

A public school teacher no less... should tell you everything that you need to know about US public school system.

not harmed? plenty of psychological damage if this kid has a mom like this.

Covid has made many people sick.

It’s made a lot more people stupid.

"Child protective services took custody of the child and immediately gave him 3 boosters."

You wanna know what 24/7 fearmongering does to people? This is it, right here.

Now now, extreme measures are required in the midst of a Globalist Pandemic™.

Thank heavens he was masked in the trunk and not endangering other Covidean Testes™.

Just give it a few days and buried in the middle of page 19 will be the news that all charges have been dropped and she has been reinstated with honors and a raise for hazard pay.

After all, she's no doubt a Dem, and unionized government employee, and so by definition a Hero™.

We need them more than ever in these dark days.

Too bad the poor little bastard didn't realize that S Class Mercedes have an emergency release handle inside the trunk.

Don't ask me how I know this.

I used to wonder how to deprogram these people, but this makes me wonder if they can be deprogrammed at all.

Usually I would ask what is wrong with these people - but frankly we are at the point where it is clear that everything is wrong with them! This was not some random kid in her class that pissed her off by coming to school and coughing all over her or something but rather her OWN KID??

Nice car for a school teacher. My only question is how she got him to get in the trunk, nice though it is?

This is what happens when dissenting voices are silenced and people go into mass psychosis! Very sad.

I bet she was a science teacher.

I know some parents who might do this. And they legitimately wouldn’t think they were doing anything wrong. After all, it’s one only small step from making a child isolate in his room to making him isolate in the trunk of the car.

Now I need to go cuddle and kiss my Covid-positive toddler. She’s feeling 90% fine, but just needs some extra love.

I’m experiencing a, for me, novel problem. I’m finding that English—the richest, most descriptive language in human history—lacks words of adequate force to describe the revulsion, the consternation, the outrage that incidents like this cause. Second time today.

Guess it’s something I’ll have to get used to for the time being.

But damn. That poor kid.

So many poor, abused, tortured kids.

Scarred for life.

The fact that she is a teacher is incidental. It is her own son. She is either stupid, evil, mentally insane, or all of the above.

Will she lose her job? I sure the heck hope so.

What about the teacher who injected a kid...a biology teacher? WTF.

With teachers like her, no wonder American kids are not good enough to compete against foreigners.

Anybody else following the Gowned Clown Show™, where Breyer and Sotomayor made complete asses of the themselves, demonstrating beyond debate they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about?

Just beyond belief.

She would have been rewarded for good citizenship by local authorities in Melborne or Sydney Australia, (and maybe Boston or NYC). By failing to see how she was simply protecting the health and safety of others in this health emergency, the police in Texas have shown themselves to be a group of virus-deniers and probably insurrectionists.

"Thankfully, the child was not harmed." - an article that just finished describing exactly how a child was abused.

If that's not a perfect metaphor for how The Experts™ have viewed their treatment of children in the past 2 years, I don't know what is.

I gets hot in trunk and she had a Fu**in mask on him. And we all know that the testing lines are HOURS LONG! She should NEVER be allowed near children, including her own.

I hope this comes our right. If it would have been a pet in the trunk (especially a kitty cat) this monsterous witch would already be in prison. Thank goodness it was only an innocent child.

I mean, shoot—she had so many other options—she could have put him in a plastic bag like those hospitals did to Covid patients last year in the halls. Or she could have dipped him in Clorox. Some people.

If high school teachers in Houston can afford an S-Class teaching remotely for 3 hours a day, I clearly screwed up with this whole investment banking thing.

The worse thing is, presumably this kid has to keep living with this woman.

Wait, is that a picture of the kid? Why is he pictured, and not the criminal mother?

Also, why is he referred to as "them"? If his identity is being protected, why is he pictured?

But the biggest problem here, obviously, is that she believes she had to "quarantine" someone who was covid-positive. The correct term is isolate. One isolates one's children in the trunk. One quarantines one's children in the garage.

Honestly it’s for the greater good. She should get a medal for such heroism.

I’ve seen a lot of sick things since the start of this madness. This ranks pretty high up there.

Instead of mandatory covid testing we need mandatory IQ testing. I'm convinced average IQ in this country has dropped 20 points in the last half century.

Teachers are the worst; if they agree to teach at all, they teach racial essentialism. Which tells 'black' people, in the words of Richard II, "serfs you are, and serfs you will remain until doomsday." Why?

At least she is driving an S-Class Mercedes. Teachers seemingly are doing pretty well. And with those roomy trunks, her son must have been quite comfy… 😆

Stop the freakin madness already!

I read someone’s suggestion—in Kirsch’s substack I think it was?—that someone could produce pads of leaflets with, for instance, graphs that depict the realities and brief explanations of them. Something to counter the official narrative and offer alternatives for information. Our data analyst and virologist and epidemiologist friends who have the credibility and wherewithal could get together and produce them. We could all past them at gas pumps, on bulletin boards, anywhere they might be seen.

An army of leafleteers with a mind to save the children and the world.

Who’s in? Let’s do it!

Hooahh!

This isn’t happening in a vacuum; it is a systemic problem. The true culprits are those who own this sorry system. The only way this will stop is to take away the power from those Owners.

I note the picture was an S-class 400 Mercedes. I guess teaching has some money in it.
