@@brandonvladovic4194 As someone who has quit childcare, you could just do anything else really. I made the same hourly pay as a local Kroger cashier. Now I’m making almost twice as much not taking care of other humans at all.

I was class of 2011. Ms. Ronit Reoven was my world geography teacher in 9th grade, and she has always been a caring sweet teacher who cared for her students. It pains me she had to go through this experience as anyone else has, having to be so strong and implementing these survival methods in a classroom that should be full of social studies decor, bright windows, and clean desks with no bloodshed. She is very strong to return to MSD for her students. The entire community in my hometown has been impacted by this situation, and all of the teachers who have gone back to teach again deserve serious raises, mental support for free, and all the love and respect in the world. It is a rough space to feel safe in these days. Teaching is so undervalued these days.
Oh Astrid! You are so correct. Teachers are our lifelines in so many situations. they deserve higher pay and bonuses for all the care and time they spend in caring for and teaching our students. I am 75 and look back with thankfullness to my teachers for all their care. They are many times the people that recognize that a student needs help, if only someone listens. I agree with everything you have written. Take care, I hope you have a wonderful future.
Well I agree with what you say about this woman but unfortunately a lot of the new teachers are too young and they're into this woke agenda and homosexuality being pushed on the kids I'm pretty much sick of most teachers
@@lindanordwall8931 I was shocked when I heard the amount they earn. It is about 1/2 what's paid here. They are so vital to the Schools. They are hero's and heroin's. I watched some coverage and worried about students and teachers and I'm not even American. It's just unforgivable that they have to worry about school shooters.
She is a wonderful witness. She's answering the questions and using clear yet descriptive language to relate the God-awful experience. She's a strong woman. Bless her.
I've spent literally thousands of hours in a courtroom. This prosecutor is the best I've ever seen. He is showing the jury everyday how much pain and suffering this little monster inflicted on not only the dead but the survivors. The kids and teachers who survived are showing their bravery and moral compass, neither of which this little zero has or ever will have.
I still dont think he should be given the death penalty. Him dying isnt going to bring justice or peace but i will admit its hard to say he should stay locked up because he doesnt deserve being taken care of.
People are accusing the prosecutor of being too harsh, but I agree with you. Let’s be honest about who the real monster is here. He’s only showing them the destruction caused.
I think he deserves the death penalty... I think he has zero remorse for what he has done. It also infuriates me watching him doodle and never look up at all anytime any family member ; survivor ; anyone speaks... he has zero regard for what his actions have done and how they have effected the people around him... I dont think it's fair that the people of the US especially the families of those lost ; or survivors should have to pay taxes into taking care of this little monster for everyday of the rest of his life... their money helping supply gin with 3 meals a day and a mattress to lay his head on. He wants life in prison and I dont think he should get one single thing he wants. No comfort. No peace. No sympathy. As he gave none of that to the CHILDREN he callously gunned down without batting an eye. Him being gone will not bring back all that are lost.... but him being gone will give the families some sort of sense of justice being served. If anyone deserves the death penalty its HIM. Why should tax payers have to fit the bill for him to live? Why should guards have to take care of him when he continues to attack them? Hes a ticking time bomb even now... reaching for the weapon of a guard while fighting him? Like come on. Prison is for rehabilitation... and this person cannot be rehabilitated so housing him til his death of whatever he dies from is just a burden on the tax payers. RIP to all these poor kids. Prayers To all their families having to deal with the everyday grief of never getting to see their teenagers grow up and see what became of them... Prayers for those dealing with injuries and pain for the rest of their lives - both physically and psychologically... Nikolas cruz deserves nothing but to die.
Teachers expect to go to work putting bandaids on scraped knees or helping sports players ice an ankle- NOT tying make shift tourniquets because of a mass murderer. She’s a true hero. This is heartbreaking.
With every unfortunate event like this, knowing how to assist during such event has become a necessity, unfortunately and fortunately, as well.. We've become so desensitized to the norm of being born with compassion aka "God in our souls" ; sad reality we live in, in these times...😥
@Allison Castle This happens in other countries too. It's also extremely rare to be apart of something like this. It's just that our schools are left wide open with no proper security but yet our lawmakers wonder around with armed guards. It's sick.
Combat medics and swat medics are trained to put on tourniquets! Teachers should be able to teach in a safe, nurturing environment. I literally have cried three times a week since 2018 at just how unsafe the world is today.
Well it's still a safe and great community regardless of this one instance. The school system kicked the shooter out of the school prior to the shooting he wasn't a student. The problem was the school is big and not one building so it's more difficult to monitor the parking lots. Allow food trucks or something on the far edge of the campus and use that money from charging those people to fund extra security around the school.
@@miriamchalmovianska863 at every door? What about windows? What if the shooter decides to fire from a distance? Have someone on the inside pull the fire alarm or even start a small fire 🔥🚒. They go into fire alarm routine mode and line up. In just the right position you could kill a whole class with one bullet. Two classes per bullet if they line up just right. While kids are in school they wear heavy duty body armor. Cut down on obesity and mitigate the damage of a shooter.
true... that's why it's all the more admirable that she's back working again. i honestly don't know if i could, because you're reminded of it virtually all the time. plus the fear that something like this might happen again.
All of the testimonies from the prosecutor's side have been great. With each testimony, you learn and understand just how strong and powerful that AR-15 rifle really is. The fact that its impact is so strong that it caused tiles to fall from the ceiling, even though the shooter was at the time on another floor, is beyond terrifying. Crying for 😢 these poor people as I listen to the testimonies
This is a prime example of WHAT a REAL teacher looks and acts like! She's the epitome of a savior, a leader and courageous, cool headed woman. God she's a brave leader. Seeing Max Schachter, father of Alex Schachter every single day in court and feeling the immense pain radiate from him crushes my heart. What a strong, solid father he is.
Her ability to talk clearly, confidently, and loudly, despite the traumatic topic, shows her strength. She's an incredibly dedicated teacher and a brave woman, and what she did for her students is remarkable.
Note: NEVER give water to a trauma victim who starts begging for water. I'm not criticizing the teacher for her in-the-moment actions. She did the best she could in a chaotic and overwhelming situation. I'm using her mistake as a "teachable moment". The body of a trauma victim diverts blood away from organ systems that aren't essential for "flight or fight". This includes the digestive system. As the adrenaline starts to wear off and shock sets in, the patient can develop dry mouth and a desire to drink. However, if there is blood loss giving them water is among the worse things you can do. The body is running on an "emergency mode" conserving blood for vital systems. Putting water in the stomach reactivates the digestive system, diverting blood into the stomach. There are 3 problems with this. First, the body may not have enough blood to run the heart, lungs, brain, and the stomach. The first 3 are critical, the stomach is not, so sending blood to the stomach can kill the patient. Second, if there is an injury to the digestive system, activating that system will cause increased blood loss through that injury. The patient will bleed out faster, or bleed in faster from internal bleeding. Third, the patient might vomit the water and aspirate during the emergency surgery that, hopefully, will soon follow. (That's why they only give you ice chips while you are waiting for surgery.) Teacher first aid usually only covers a basic CPR course. My training is more extensive because I took advanced First Aid for a PE credit. I highly recommend first aid courses. The American Heart Association, American Red Cross, and most colleges, hospitals, life guard organizations, scouting groups, and county/city health departments host or provide such training, or would be glad to refer you to a trainer.
@@ashley5368 That and the less important vital (terms used loosely) organs starting to lack blood and circulation. When you're thirsty, you're actually in the starting stages of dehydration.
My heart goes out to that many with the silver hair and the frown. His face hasn’t changed throughout this entire trial. I can’t even begin to comprehend his sadness. Wish I could give him a big hug.
It gives me so much pain to watch these parents living the moments that led to their children’s death during the teacher’s testimony. I also felt the teacher’s emotions, and as a fellow teacher I cant even imagine seeing my students get shot. I hope they can have peace in their hearts
I’m just struck by the awesome quality of the staff and students who have testified. This teacher is Just such a good human being. The sickness and evil of what happened to the Parkland students and staff is beyond horror.
To me it's a strong testament to the love, care, and respect that they have for one another. That's why I also feel that while it's extrextremely difficult for the survivors to do this, they understand that their testimony is important to bring this scum to justice
@@dirkdiggler9379 AND? I know many troubled teens that grew up in broken households, that were bullied or abused, and neither one of them went on a shooting spree and never thought about it once. Sounds like you’re making excuses for that piece of trash.
Her ability to think rationally during something this horrific saved more lives than just the tourniquets she provided. We need a drill for this the same way we have fire drills. Unfortunately there are sick people out there after our kids and we need to provide a safer environment for them, starting with securing our schools.
Put military in schools instead of leaving them In Afghanistan. If they bring back the hummers too they can park them in the parking lot. I have full faith shooting casualties will go down. Without infringing on arms rights.
Sad day for everybody there..even Nik..the agony of losing a mother and peer relations or relationship while the terror of the victims .while the dictation of a demon to inflict the horror of cold blooded killings with the atmosphere to Nik it just does not matter since his life was gone and the world's misery to him and those which are here .the world means nothing.
I hope no one ever has to experience this but if they do I hope they have a teacher like this. She’s so sweet and you can tell how much she loves her students. Listening to her description started to give me anxiety and I cannot imagine what these poor people had to endure. 😭
I love how she bluntly responded yes to the prosecutor when asked that basic sod questions about the police turning up. Well typical of such a clear strong woman.
My respects to this and all teachers. They have to go through so much in a daily basis and sometimes they don’t get the recognition they deserve. This teacher is such a strong, caring woman that loves her career, gets up every morning to make a difference in someone’s life.
Jeez Im just so heartbroken for these families, friends and teachers. I can't imagine going through this and having to relive it. They are all so brave and strong despite feeling weak.
We all know this sick young man went into that school, pulling the trigger,killing all these students. SO WHY IS THIS "TRIAL" STILL GOING ON. SUBJECTING STUDENTS,TEACHERS PLUS PARENTS TO THE HORROR THAT TOOK PLACE THAT DAY???? Cruz deserves the death sentence. But it would be better to lock him up in solitary confinement for the rest of his life, so it can eat him up what he did. He's 23, at least he's going to sit there for 40years with nothing but 4 walls. And his sick mind replaying all of what I'm hearing and seeing . He'll commit suicide before the 40 years are up. If they give him the death penalty, he has 10years of appeal, after appeal,after appeal, putting these poor people through this night mare again. Discusting.
Seeing the raw look of unimaginable pain & grief on the faces of those hearing such detailed testimony of this dear teacher (such a powerful & brave witness) makes me feel empty or broken inside...I pray for everyone effected by this senseless tragedy......How do you go on???
When I initially saw Maddie’s photos of her leaned against the wall I thought she was dead. First responders thought she was dead. She’s a fighter. It’s hard to imagine such a young person surviving like that for that long, from gunshots like that. Seeing her laying there with that jacket wrapped around her arm, just… so depleted of life in appearance but fighting so hard on the inside…it’s shocking.
just want to hug her she did perfect despite having to look straight at him and everything. omg i just cant believe how close to home this was it could have been my kids school, so so sad
Such a powerful story. She was brave and strong. Most people don’t know what teachers always fear and face. And she continues to teach there. Logan! What a wonderful young man.
The moment she explained how she realized, that Carmen was gone... You could see that she pulled herself together sitting in this court desk, the same way she pulled herself together in that goddamn classroom in order to save and protect and comfort her students. We need more selfless people like her in this world. Being a teacher is a job that holds great responsibility and the individuals sense of it is tested the best in such horrifying moments, that shell never happen in the first place. This Lady for sure did not failed the test.
At first I thought it would be great if Nick got the death penalty. Then I started thinking more into it. Death is inevitable, it happens to all of us. I think what is far worse than death, is sitting in a confined room every single day for the rest of your life while you relive the memories over and over. Sitting through this trial listening to every single detail, how everyone died. The suffering and pain. Knowing you caused all of that. Spending every single day alone and isolated for the rest of your life while you are haunted with the blood on your hands, that’s way worse than death. Nick needs to rot in that cell, death is too easy. You must live with the actions you caused.
it wont bother him about their suferring the only thing that will bother him is like for like treatment in jail monsters have no empathy and deserve hard action
It’s NOT a teachers job to be “a good guy with a gun”. It’s NOT a teachers job to be a nurse on the battle field. Its NOT a teachers JOB to jump in front of a bullet to save their students. It’s NOT in a teachers job description to ever have to witness the ending of their students lives. But most if not all teachers would do these things anyways. It’s horrifying how normalized these instances have become in this country. We’re being forced to have children now because lawmakers want to protect the life of the fetus, but this is how those lives get protected by those same lawmakers after their birth. Those children should still be with us. This teacher should never have had to relive those memories because this should have never happened in the first place. I would wish for the death sentence, but it’s to easy of a way out for that scum. I hope they give him life in prison with NO possibility of parole and I can only pray the inmates he’s with make his life hell in there.
I wasn’t there but listening to the testimonies makes me see what they saw. My God the horror that loner put those kids and teachers through. The lives he took FOR WHAT?!! He shot Meadow what like 9 times? All the families he destroyed and he’s just sitting there like a stupid idiot. They better keep him in solitary confinement for the rest of his miserable days because someone might finish him.
Yess! And what pisses me off more is that he has no handcuffs no shackles He’s literally a cold murderer and sitting there like that boils my blood If I was one of the parents I would’ve had a swing at him even if it took me to jail cause these people are wasting time and money
Right. They're making him look like a human being. He should be in prison clothes and handcuffs not in sweaters etc... Also he shouldn't be allowed to touch a pen and a paper... There's not even any guards around him. Unbelievable 🤬
It amazes me that some of these women and men still get up and teach after such a traumatic experience having to loose students 😩 and a piece of mind and still walking those same halls
I want to Thank Mrs. Reoven for her amazing reaction to immediately jump up and take lead to try and protect the Students. Guiding the students to go the correct way to go hide for safety. We need more people to react the way she did. Mrs. Reoven put her life last as she was trying to help many kids that got injured. Please say a prayer for all the families that are involved in this horrible tragedy. 🙏 I’m so sorry that this senseless act took place. I’m sorry for all the families involved. PLEASE.SPREAD.LOVE.NOT.HATE. ❤️
This woman is clearly an exceptional person. Of course her actions and presence of mind during the event were outstanding, but you can also tell just by the way she speaks. Smart, confident and articulate.
for me one of the most scariest part of all these testimonies, is that almost all of them never questioned what they were hearing when the shooting started. No one tries to go out and check, no one thinks its some prank or whatever. Almost all of them knew immediately what they were facing. On one side it's great though that due to all of those lockdown drills they kind knew how to recognize what's going on, but it's also scary because it shows what world our kids are growing up in...
It isn't a world wide problem , kids in the UK don't need to do lockdown drills. The last school shooting in UK was the Dunblane massacre in 1996. Lessons were learned. Gun laws were made even tighter than they already were.
Change your outdated stupid gun laws your country’s a joke to the rest of the world !!! Every week this happend over 350 school shootings but the yanks need there guns !!!!! Forget the poor kids they don’t matter as long as you have yiur guns
@@agirlisnoone5953 of course not but it reduces the chances of them getting the gun in the first place, unless their parents are drug sellers etc, who have guns illegally to begin with.
I've watched many many interrogations and behavior studies, and am always amazed at how much can be learned about a person, just by behavior alone. This poor woman is reliving each moment during her testimony. She doesn't look up at the prosecutor, she looks down, accessing her memory. She uses gestures when describing her reactions, as if she's in her classroom at that moment, pointing out where people and objects were that day. She's a true hero. I've seen an interview with Maddie and she said that if she had been laid flat, she would've bled out due to the way she was injured. She saved lives that day by her quick thinking, and her critical thinking. But I'm sure the 3 students that were injured, and Carmen's death are the images she can't erase in her mind. The fact that she returned to her school, to continue to teach her kids shows her strength and her determination to prevent the monster that caused this carnage from winning. God bless this beautiful woman, and God bless the families of those lost and injured! 💙
she had amazing control in that class. I have seen footage from other phones where she makes sure the class stays back. there was a boy next to her that was so brave and ran to check on the injured kids …
This must've been the scariest moment ever, this teacher tried to save her kids. The fact that she assisted those injured kids the best she could...no teacher should face this terrible situation 😔😔
:137 She has PTSD. She is startled when someone coughs/sneezes. My heart goes out to her and the families. She did an amazing job both inside the classroom and in the court.
@@simmiesim321 yeah there’s no way someone who went through the traumatic experience of a mass shooting and killing of children she grew close with and then going back to work at the same place could have PTSD…🤦♀️🙄 Literally touch some grass.
@@alexisweber6185 literally shut your mouth !!!!! I said you can’t tell that from a video you you tube expert !! When you have you can be an expert 😴😴😴😴
I wish they would put the witnesses/ victims names in the title instead of just the shooter. He’s getting the fame he wanted, so we should be able to show the victims some respect and use their names.
It ticks me off everyone paying such close attention and feeling the pain of each speaker. Take that stupid paper and pencil away from Cruz why does he get to block out and doodle. Make him have nothing to do but listen. All this pain is on him
Why should that POS be allowed not to watch or hear the damage he has done? Everyone who was there and the poor parents are condemned to a lifetime of torture and heartache.
This hits hard, such as 7:45. God bless this teacher, the victims and their families, and all who experienced and were impacted by this horrible tragedy.
Ohhh, this teacher is in so much pain...just like the families and friends. She will never be the same but I hope and pray she remains a teacher until retirement. She has a soft Spirit and a great mind. God bless her. God bless all the families and rescue workers who helped. I'm so sorry for all that you have gone through and continue to go through. Peace, Lynne 🍃💜✝️💜🍃
How brave and gutsy must you be to go through this horrific tragedy...then return there to teach....then recount it all in court, relive it all, see brutal photos, with that scumbag in the same room....? Amazing lady and teacher. I'm sorry ma'am. Bless you
Why not start with bullet-proof glass panel windows in the school room doors IF you even have to have a window in the door??????? This is not rocket science but just common sense!!!!!!
Am I the only one that feels like when this happens, they should just give the shooter the death penalty and not give them all this notoriety. This is exactly what he wants and he clearly has zero regret
It is devastating that this is life in America now. Each time we send our children to school...each time these passionate teachers go to work - trying to make a difference...we have to wonder if they will be massacred.
I've always said that above parenthood, being a teacher has got to be the hardest job on earth and this teachers heartbreaking testimony confirms this. My prayers go out to the hundreds that are going through such pain that this monster has put them through 🙏🙏🙏.
God be with the parents who have had to endure this trial! Pure torture for them while Cruz has his entourage supporting him . Its beyond words what the parents have to endure day in day out with this trial. My prayers are with them !
Why would your god be with the parents? god wasn't with the kids while they were being slaughtered. Explain what good prayers do. Keep religion out of it.
I wonder if any of the teachers who have testified, ever taught Cruz? Truly heartbreaking and I pray that all affected find peace. RIP to all the lives lost💐
This ain't the last school shooter, because they did not make a example of him. He gets to live, he'll get use to the lifestyle, he's gonna make friends, hes gonna learn. 1 person dead is awful but 17 peoples lives and many more wounded is tragically sad. Stoned 🪨🪨🪨 to death should still be a thing when terror related.
As a psychology student I respect her and it’s hard to listen to. When she started describing the shots she separated herself by saying “you hear” and “vibrations in your chest”
i'm going into early childhood education and tend to watch these types of videos to learn how i can protect my future students and potentially keep them alive in a situation like this. now adding keeping smaller blankets to my list. this woman amazes me. ❤
So sick that those freaking AR15 gun machine is allowed to buy for regular citizens... those freaking guns are insane who in the hell created... for what for? To destroy what... humans? Tank or walls... Why a regular citizen have to have one of those monster gun machine..?
With all due respect, you have absolutely zero understanding of what that weapon system is. And I’m only saying this because there is value in understanding guns if you want to be able to objectively propose actionable items that could potentially have a positive impact. What you think of as your grandpas old hunting rifle is more powerful from a caliber and ballistics standpoint than an AR. .223 which is a primary caliber for that platform isn’t even legal in some states for hunting because it’s too small of a caliber. Biden’s “just buy a shotgun” is lunacy, a shotgun victim would virtually have zero chance. It’s a rifle, with essentially the same mechanical functions as a hand gun, just in a long gun configuration. It’s not a machine gun, it’s not a military weapon. It’s a type of rifle design, cosmetically. But yes it’s a gun, like any gun, designed to be effective against people, animals, etc. it’s not an anti tank, anti armor weapon system. There are a ton of people who have AR style rifles to use for home defense. There’s literally nothing insane about an AR relatively speaking.
It’s interesting how she uses the pronoun “you” to describe her own recollections, rather than using “I” when she describes particularly distressing moments of the experience… perhaps as a way to emotionally distance herself from the trauma
I don't think there should be windows in any of the doors and all be made of solid steel. It's sad to think that's needed in the states but it may have saved more lives that day.
This whole scenario is the one shown in the videos that some of the students filmed that you can find online. You can see her crouched behind her desk and there's another student literally crouched directly inside the hub of the desk. There's another boy nearest to the door almost kneeling down that shown quite often. He gets up a few times to check on the other students, I'm guessing he is the Logan that she mentions. And you hear Ben crying for someone to help him and Maddie or Samantha screaming quietly. When the officers then come through the door to ask if anyone is injured everyone is pointing towards, Ben, Maddie and Sam like "Yes! Yes! " and when the camera pans over you can see Carmen on the floor face down, hair over face as the teacher described with blood all over the floor and you can see Maddie propped up against the desk. The officers then guide everyone out into the hallway and you can see two other students lying presumable dead on the floor. I believe those students were Luke Hoyer and Gina Montalto. The poor girl that was filming is distraught, you can hear her crying as she runs outside past everything.
This may be a stupid question but after watching this trial...why aren't schools equipped with windows that open and perhaps those fire safety kits that have ladders/slides?
@@mi3helle707 This is very true. It just seems like a more logical approach than arming teachers. Sorry, I just don't want to live in a society where my children have guns at their school...how could we claim to be a great country when we have to resort to measures third world countries do. (family in mexico and army guards posted outside some schools - a very jarring sight).
The fact that this woman went back to work is so beyond me...What an amazing teacher / human.

No peace.
No sympathy.

This happens in other countries too. It's also extremely rare to be apart of something like this. It's just that our schools are left wide open with no proper security but yet our lawmakers wonder around with armed guards. It's sick.
Teachers don't get paid Enough to go through This
Combat medics and swat medics are trained to put on tourniquets! Teachers should be able to teach in a safe, nurturing environment. I literally have cried three times a week since 2018 at just how unsafe the world is today.
I can't imagine continuing to teach at the school after going through that... what a strong woman.
Well it's still a safe and great community regardless of this one instance. The school system kicked the shooter out of the school prior to the shooting he wasn't a student. The problem was the school is big and not one building so it's more difficult to monitor the parking lots. Allow food trucks or something on the far edge of the campus and use that money from charging those people to fund extra security around the school.
@@cuckertarlson5310 its not. Until they have armed guards at every door, it can happen again tomorrow
@@miriamchalmovianska863 at every door? What about windows? What if the shooter decides to fire from a distance? Have someone on the inside pull the fire alarm or even start a small fire 🔥🚒. They go into fire alarm routine mode and line up. In just the right position you could kill a whole class with one bullet. Two classes per bullet if they line up just right. While kids are in school they wear heavy duty body armor. Cut down on obesity and mitigate the damage of a shooter.

Wow she went above and beyond. She remained so strong for her students and it's inspiring
The way she’s describing the details of what occurred almost makes you feel like you were there in the room with her… and it is HORRIFYING.
true... that's why it's all the more admirable that she's back working again. i honestly don't know if i could, because you're reminded of it virtually all the time. plus the fear that something like this might happen again.
All of the testimonies from the prosecutor's side have been great.
With each testimony, you learn and understand just how strong and powerful that AR-15 rifle really is.
The fact that its impact is so strong that it caused tiles to fall from the ceiling, even though the shooter was at the time on another floor, is beyond terrifying.
Crying for 😢 these poor people as I listen to the testimonies
This is a prime example of WHAT a REAL teacher looks and acts like! She's the epitome of a savior, a leader and courageous, cool headed woman. God she's a brave leader. Seeing Max Schachter, father of Alex Schachter every single day in court and feeling the immense pain radiate from him crushes my heart. What a strong, solid father he is.
Her ability to talk clearly, confidently, and loudly, despite the traumatic topic, shows her strength. She's an incredibly dedicated teacher and a brave woman, and what she did for her students is remarkable.
Note: NEVER give water to a trauma victim who starts begging for water.
I'm not criticizing the teacher for her in-the-moment actions. She did the best she could in a chaotic and overwhelming situation. I'm using her mistake as a "teachable moment".
The body of a trauma victim diverts blood away from organ systems that aren't essential for "flight or fight". This includes the digestive system. As the adrenaline starts to wear off and shock sets in, the patient can develop dry mouth and a desire to drink. However, if there is blood loss giving them water is among the worse things you can do. The body is running on an "emergency mode" conserving blood for vital systems. Putting water in the stomach reactivates the digestive system, diverting blood into the stomach. There are 3 problems with this. First, the body may not have enough blood to run the heart, lungs, brain, and the stomach. The first 3 are critical, the stomach is not, so sending blood to the stomach can kill the patient. Second, if there is an injury to the digestive system, activating that system will cause increased blood loss through that injury. The patient will bleed out faster, or bleed in faster from internal bleeding. Third, the patient might vomit the water and aspirate during the emergency surgery that, hopefully, will soon follow. (That's why they only give you ice chips while you are waiting for surgery.)
Teacher first aid usually only covers a basic CPR course. My training is more extensive because I took advanced First Aid for a PE credit.
I highly recommend first aid courses. The American Heart Association, American Red Cross, and most colleges, hospitals, life guard organizations, scouting groups, and county/city health departments host or provide such training, or would be glad to refer you to a trainer.
Thank you for sharing that. Is the need to drink water solely come from just having dry mouth from adrenaline?

She made me feel like I was right there. Great witness, amazing teacher & wonderful human being.
It gives me so much pain to watch these parents living the moments that led to their children’s death during the teacher’s testimony. I also felt the teacher’s emotions, and as a fellow teacher I cant even imagine seeing my students get shot. I hope they can have peace in their hearts
I’m just struck by the awesome quality of the staff and students who have testified. This teacher is Just such a good human being. The sickness and evil of what happened to the Parkland students and staff is beyond horror.
To me it's a strong testament to the love, care, and respect that they have for one another.
That's why I also feel that while it's extrextremely difficult for the survivors to do this, they understand that their testimony is important to bring this scum to justice

Her ability to think rationally during something this horrific saved more lives than just the tourniquets she provided. We need a drill for this the same way we have fire drills. Unfortunately there are sick people out there after our kids and we need to provide a safer environment for them, starting with securing our schools.
Put military in schools instead of leaving them In Afghanistan. If they bring back the hummers too they can park them in the parking lot. I have full faith shooting casualties will go down. Without infringing on arms rights.
ban the tools used for mass shootings..and the ability to destroy so easily is crippled
Our schools do have active shooter drills, unfortunately it isn't enough to prevent every tragedy
@@TheZombieateu Exactly. We sit in the corner of the classroom which DEFINITELY protect us from the flying bullets :/
Sad day for everybody there..even Nik..the agony of losing a mother and peer relations or relationship while the terror of the victims .while the dictation of a demon to inflict the horror of cold blooded killings with the atmosphere to Nik it just does not matter since his life was gone and the world's misery to him and those which are here .the world means nothing.
I hope no one ever has to experience this but if they do I hope they have a teacher like this. She’s so sweet and you can tell how much she loves her students. Listening to her description started to give me anxiety and I cannot imagine what these poor people had to endure. 😭
The bravery and compassion shown by this teacher and so many others that day is amazing.
I love how she bluntly responded yes to the prosecutor when asked that basic sod questions about the police turning up. Well typical of such a clear strong woman.
My respects to this and all teachers. They have to go through so much in a daily basis and sometimes they don’t get the recognition they deserve. This teacher is such a strong, caring woman that loves her career, gets up every morning to make a difference in someone’s life.
Jeez Im just so heartbroken for these families, friends and teachers. I can't imagine going through this and having to relive it. They are all so brave and strong despite feeling weak.
We all know this sick young man went into that school, pulling the trigger,killing all these students. SO WHY IS THIS "TRIAL" STILL GOING ON. SUBJECTING STUDENTS,TEACHERS PLUS PARENTS TO THE HORROR THAT TOOK PLACE THAT DAY???? Cruz deserves the death sentence. But it would be better to lock him up in solitary confinement for the rest of his life, so it can eat him up what he did. He's 23, at least he's going to sit there for 40years with nothing but 4 walls. And his sick mind replaying all of what I'm hearing and seeing . He'll commit suicide before the 40 years are up. If they give him the death penalty, he has 10years of appeal, after appeal,after appeal, putting these poor people through this night mare again. Discusting.
Seeing the raw look of unimaginable pain & grief on the faces of those hearing such detailed testimony of this dear teacher (such a powerful & brave witness) makes me feel empty or broken inside...I pray for everyone effected by this senseless tragedy......How do you go on???
I doubt that this teacher will ever read my comment, but bless you!! Thank you for everything you’ve done!
What a strong person and a wonderful teacher. She was there for her kids when they needed her most.
When she switched from first person plural to second person. I burst into tears. This is what a true trauma story looks like.
When I initially saw Maddie’s photos of her leaned against the wall I thought she was dead. First responders thought she was dead. She’s a fighter. It’s hard to imagine such a young person surviving like that for that long, from gunshots like that. Seeing her laying there with that jacket wrapped around her arm, just… so depleted of life in appearance but fighting so hard on the inside…it’s shocking.
Wow Where did you find those photos?
just want to hug her she did perfect despite having to look straight at him and everything. omg i just cant believe how close to home this was it could have been my kids school, so so sad
Such a powerful story. She was brave and strong. Most people don’t know what teachers always fear and face. And she continues to teach there. Logan! What a wonderful young man.
I agree. Logan was a tremendous help to his Teacher and fellow classmates.
The moment she explained how she realized, that Carmen was gone... You could see that she pulled herself together sitting in this court desk, the same way she pulled herself together in that goddamn classroom in order to save and protect and comfort her students. We need more selfless people like her in this world. Being a teacher is a job that holds great responsibility and the individuals sense of it is tested the best in such horrifying moments, that shell never happen in the first place. This Lady for sure did not failed the test.
At first I thought it would be great if Nick got the death penalty. Then I started thinking more into it. Death is inevitable, it happens to all of us. I think what is far worse than death, is sitting in a confined room every single day for the rest of your life while you relive the memories over and over. Sitting through this trial listening to every single detail, how everyone died. The suffering and pain. Knowing you caused all of that. Spending every single day alone and isolated for the rest of your life while you are haunted with the blood on your hands, that’s way worse than death. Nick needs to rot in that cell, death is too easy. You must live with the actions you caused.
it wont bother him about their suferring the only thing that will bother him is like for like treatment in jail monsters have no empathy and deserve hard action
Couldn’t of said it better I hope these victims and their families eventually heal and thinks this way also
I agree with the theory however AN EYE FOR AN EYE sounds quite satisfying!
@@MEERU_K he won’t be kept around other inmates
It’s not that bad with good behavior he can watch movies and go outside and take classes.
The way she describes this so clearly you can tell it is something she re lives often
When she almost started crying describing the girl who died it broke my heart
It’s NOT a teachers job to be “a good guy with a gun”. It’s NOT a teachers job to be a nurse on the battle field. Its NOT a teachers JOB to jump in front of a bullet to save their students. It’s NOT in a teachers job description to ever have to witness the ending of their students lives. But most if not all teachers would do these things anyways. It’s horrifying how normalized these instances have become in this country. We’re being forced to have children now because lawmakers want to protect the life of the fetus, but this is how those lives get protected by those same lawmakers after their birth. Those children should still be with us. This teacher should never have had to relive those memories because this should have never happened in the first place. I would wish for the death sentence, but it’s to easy of a way out for that scum. I hope they give him life in prison with NO possibility of parole and I can only pray the inmates he’s with make his life hell in there.
😢😢 pain in her face when she said Carmen name
This breaks my heart
I can’t image the strength it took to return to school and quick thinking to help injured . This teacher is a hero
Such a hero. Thank goodness for people like her.
Oh my God, seeing the parents listen to her describe what happened in the classroom is absolutely heartbreaking.
Teacher was very brave
I wasn’t there but listening to the testimonies makes me see what they saw. My God the horror that loner put those kids and teachers through. The lives he took FOR WHAT?!! He shot Meadow what like 9 times? All the families he destroyed and he’s just sitting there like a stupid idiot. They better keep him in solitary confinement for the rest of his miserable days because someone might finish him.
What pisses me off the most is that instead of making the A$$ hole look at his victims and families..he's instead head down doodling..
Yess! And what pisses me off more is that he has no handcuffs no shackles
He’s literally a cold murderer and sitting there like that boils my blood
If I was one of the parents I would’ve had a swing at him even if it took me to jail cause these people are wasting time and money
Right. They're making him look like a human being. He should be in prison clothes and handcuffs not in sweaters etc... Also he shouldn't be allowed to touch a pen and a paper... There's not even any guards around him. Unbelievable 🤬

She seems like such an intelligent women. She saved lives that day.
This woman is clearly an exceptional person. Of course her actions and presence of mind during the event were outstanding, but you can also tell just by the way she speaks. Smart, confident and articulate.
She better get an award for this. She was able to save lives and help injured students. She's obviously Wonder Woman.
for me one of the most scariest part of all these testimonies, is that almost all of them never questioned what they were hearing when the shooting started. No one tries to go out and check, no one thinks its some prank or whatever. Almost all of them knew immediately what they were facing. On one side it's great though that due to all of those lockdown drills they kind knew how to recognize what's going on, but it's also scary because it shows what world our kids are growing up in...
It isn't a world wide problem , kids in the UK don't need to do lockdown drills. The last school shooting in UK was the Dunblane massacre in 1996. Lessons were learned. Gun laws were made even tighter than they already were.

I've watched many many interrogations and behavior studies, and am always amazed at how much can be learned about a person, just by behavior alone. This poor woman is reliving each moment during her testimony. She doesn't look up at the prosecutor, she looks down, accessing her memory. She uses gestures when describing her reactions, as if she's in her classroom at that moment, pointing out where people and objects were that day. She's a true hero. I've seen an interview with Maddie and she said that if she had been laid flat, she would've bled out due to the way she was injured. She saved lives that day by her quick thinking, and her critical thinking. But I'm sure the 3 students that were injured, and Carmen's death are the images she can't erase in her mind. The fact that she returned to her school, to continue to teach her kids shows her strength and her determination to prevent the monster that caused this carnage from winning. God bless this beautiful woman, and God bless the families of those lost and injured! 💙
she had amazing control in that class. I have seen footage from other phones where she makes sure the class stays back. there was a boy next to her that was so brave and ran to check on the injured kids …
What juror could not have already made their mind up for the death penalty at this point?
Every victim deserves their chance to speak. I'm sure the jury made up their mind before the trial started.
I think death penalty would not be enough. Let him live and spend every single day of his worthless life facing the consequences of what he did.
This must've been the scariest moment ever, this teacher tried to save her kids. The fact that she assisted those injured kids the best she could...no teacher should face this terrible situation 😔😔

So sick that those freaking AR15 gun machine is allowed to buy for regular citizens... those freaking guns are insane who in the hell created... for what for? To destroy what... humans? Tank or walls...
Why a regular citizen have to have one of those monster gun machine..?
With all due respect, you have absolutely zero understanding of what that weapon system is. And I’m only saying this because there is value in understanding guns if you want to be able to objectively propose actionable items that could potentially have a positive impact. What you think of as your grandpas old hunting rifle is more powerful from a caliber and ballistics standpoint than an AR. .223 which is a primary caliber for that platform isn’t even legal in some states for hunting because it’s too small of a caliber. Biden’s “just buy a shotgun” is lunacy, a shotgun victim would virtually have zero chance. It’s a rifle, with essentially the same mechanical functions as a hand gun, just in a long gun configuration. It’s not a machine gun, it’s not a military weapon. It’s a type of rifle design, cosmetically. But yes it’s a gun, like any gun, designed to be effective against people, animals, etc. it’s not an anti tank, anti armor weapon system. There are a ton of people who have AR style rifles to use for home defense. There’s literally nothing insane about an AR relatively speaking.

It’s interesting how she uses the pronoun “you” to describe her own recollections, rather than using “I” when she describes particularly distressing moments of the experience… perhaps as a way to emotionally distance herself from the trauma

I don't think there should be windows in any of the doors and all be made of solid steel. It's sad to think that's needed in the states but it may have saved more lives that day.

@@milkyeti peep hole maybe or camera and monitor

@@milkyeti Bulletproof windows or eye holes, then.
This whole scenario is the one shown in the videos that some of the students filmed that you can find online. You can see her crouched behind her desk and there's another student literally crouched directly inside the hub of the desk. There's another boy nearest to the door almost kneeling down that shown quite often. He gets up a few times to check on the other students, I'm guessing he is the Logan that she mentions. And you hear Ben crying for someone to help him and Maddie or Samantha screaming quietly. When the officers then come through the door to ask if anyone is injured everyone is pointing towards, Ben, Maddie and Sam like "Yes! Yes! " and when the camera pans over you can see Carmen on the floor face down, hair over face as the teacher described with blood all over the floor and you can see Maddie propped up against the desk.
The officers then guide everyone out into the hallway and you can see two other students lying presumable dead on the floor. I believe those students were Luke Hoyer and Gina Montalto. The poor girl that was filming is distraught, you can hear her crying as she runs outside past everything.
This may be a stupid question but after watching this trial...why aren't schools equipped with windows that open and perhaps those fire safety kits that have ladders/slides?
