At the Manhattan Place Elementary School, Los Angeles, a shocking incident took place that highlights ridiculous and unfair bathroom rules across many learning institutions.
Sonia Mongol was absolutely shocked when her eight-year-old son came home from school in November soaked in urine and dressed in a trash bag.
During his school day, Mongol’s son has repeatedly asked to use the bathroom, only to be turned down again and again.
His teacher suggested he use the trash bin in class, in front of everyone else, which he didn’t want to do.
Instead of realizing the seriousness of the issue, the teacher refused to let him change clothes or borrow alternative clothes.
She forced him to sit in those clothes all day long with a big trash bag covering him and the soiled clothing. Since that incident, Mongol’s son has been the target of relentless bullying.
Needless to say, Mongol was furious. She held a press conference to bring attention to this horrible act of abuse in front of the school.
School officials have been contacted, but they have repeatedly declined to comment, which is incredibly suspicious given the circumstances.
The school has also refused to allow any protesters to speak to the principal, Evelyn Samos.
Since the incident, things have not gotten better. Mongol’s son receives harassment and bullying, and teachers still do not allow him to use the bathroom.
Once, after repeatedly begging to be allowed to go to the toilet, his teacher relented but then locked him out of the classroom so he could not return later.
Mongol is worried that her son will have serious trauma surrounding this incident for the rest of his life.
Many people are shocked and demanding change and a reformation of these ridiculous bathroom rules.
Mongol’s son was repeatedly turned away by teachers, and even the school nurse.
There seems to be a significant lack of compassion towards someone who is, essentially, just a kid.
If we don’t expect adults to hold in their urine, why are we expecting young children to?
It is clear that these teachers and even staff members do not particularly care about the students in their care if they continue to treat them this way.
According to Latricia Mitchell, an LA teacher who is now retired, explained that school rules are allowed to deny bathroom privileges to their students because many kids choose to misuse that privilege, skipping out of class too often to avoid turning in homework or sitting in class.
With that being said, Mitchell states clearly that teachers should be able to tell when something is wrong – and if they don’t, they definitely shouldn’t punish a child for their own errors in judgment.
After a long time of waiting, the LA Unified School District board released their statement regarding the incident.
The statement said that they took the issue seriously and reported it to law enforcement, who they have cooperated with.
It is also reported that the teacher who dressed Mongol’s son in a trash bag is not working at the school any longer, no work is out about whether or not further action will be taken.
According to the court documents, the then-33-year-old defendant, Maurice, was first arrested for ra-ing a 16-year-old girl while serving as the manager of a restaurant.
He pleaded guilty to having se* with the underage girl in the kitchen of restaurant, which the victim said she did because “he told her to” and “he was her boss and she needed to keep her job.”
For the crime of statutory ra-e, the defendant was sentenced to a 120-day se* offender program before being released on probation. Although he completed the rehab program, this was only the beginning of the registered se* offender’s crime spree.
Just one month after he was released from the se* offending assessment unit, he brutally ra-ed the mother of his children. However, despite being found guilty of his second ra-e, the presiding judge believed he shouldn’t even touch the inside of a jail cell. Judge Holden sentenced the defendant to just five years probation for his second ra-e after his probation officer and se* abuse program counselor convinced him that he was “making progress in his counseling…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
“So the judge was able to hear from somebody who has expertise in this type of treatment, who has supervised and treated him for quite some time, and came to a conclusion that continuity under these circumstances was going to be warehousing him in a prison,” explained the defendant’s defense attorney Coatney.

Despite prosecutors’ request that he receive the maximum 7 years in prison, Judge Holden handed down the probation sentence because Maurice seems to be improving in counseling. However, Holden ignored the fact that the 33-year-old man ra-ed his second victim after completing a similar program intended to rehabilitate the se* offender.
That decision has sparked outrage on social media including a post by county prosecutor Patterson with a Ronald Reagan quote that “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.
It’s time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” Many experts claim that the most disturbing thing about Maurice’s case is that there are now two women who have learned that the court system doesn’t always deliver justice.
Sadly, he lives to offend another day while his victims must suffer the long-lasting effects of his crimes. Ladies and gentlemen, we are republishing this story amid recent reports that suggest many US states are recording record highs in se-ual assault incidents.
Just about everyone does online shopping these days. How could we not, with just how convenient it all is?
You buy something without ever leaving the house, pay for it, and then it shows up on your doorstep a few days later!
For folks that have mobility or health issues, or aren’t able to get to the shops in time, online shopping is basically a godsend.
There is just one tiny problem – people have realized that there are more and more valuable goods simply left out on the front porch unattended, often for hours at a time.
And it doesn’t help that most deliveries are conducted during office hours – the times where most people won’t be available, which is why they chose online shopping in the first place.
(This is probably why Amazon Key is now a thing – you can’t lose your purchases if they were left inside your house.)
So as convenient as it is to just have packages waiting for you once you reach back home, the risk of losing them can be grave, as this family found out the hard way.
While most people would be incredibly upset that they had their parcel stolen (and be set back a sizeable amount of money), this teenager has bigger problems to worry about.
14-year-old Gage Haynes is now in a life-or-death situation after about $40,000 worth of medication was swiped from the doorstep of his house in Summerlin, Nevada on one February day.
Diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis at only 6 months old, Gage has spent the pretty much most of his life staring at the inside of hospital walls as much as he has being outside them. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
Because of the rarity of his cancer, finding the right treatment for him was a massive struggle that consumed most of Gage’s life.
Then, Gage and his mother, Shakala, found the miracle they had been searching for – a new chemotherapy medication called Rydapt.
8 pills a day eases Gage’s symptoms to the point he can attend school and worry about his grades for a change – a massive quality-of-life change.
But the new medication came at a steep cost.
Shakala had to work herself to the bone to gain both financial assistance and earn enough money to afford the monthly $40,000 cost necessary to keep her son alive.
To top things off, the medication wasn’t approved by the FDA for those under the age of 18, making it hard to get.
So when the unidentified thief made off with two packages in broad daylight, he just made it a lot harder for Gage to survive.
The teen has since put out a public plea for the thief to return the costly and life-saving medication he desperately needs.
Here’s to hoping the thief has at least a shred of humanity left in him and returns the medication once he realizes what he has done.
