00:00:00.000
so we're over the period of this time tony was obviously getting very very very frustrated that
00:00:14.180
none of the adults that are part of the administrative staff or any of the other
00:00:18.040
people that are part of the faculty members of the school were not intervening on on the girl's
00:00:24.960
behalf so it led to a final altercation at one point where my son went up was frustrated and went
00:00:34.580
up and tried to confront him you know to try to get make an ultimatum of it i guess in a sense
00:00:40.460
because he felt like you know he had no other choice because none of the adults are doing what
00:00:45.380
they're supposed to be doing so here here's a young young man who's confused um been raised with
00:00:50.960
good morals and good ethics hard worker you know and uh he eventually was having a conversation
00:00:58.400
with him on and he wanted to make an ultimatum of it and uh it eventually led to uh my son punching
00:01:05.520
him in the face once and walking away and um now he's being charged with assault causing bodily harm
00:01:12.660
and public incitement of hatred i mean makes no sense to me uh for the public incitement of hatred
00:01:18.840
because there's no evidence that he rallied a group or was committing any kind of you know uh
00:01:26.280
you know any kind of hate speech in or about the lgbtq or anything like that in regards to this
00:01:34.700
matter it was simply you are making these girls uncomfortable and you need to stop doing what
00:01:40.820
you're doing and the only way that i feel you know they said the only way that he feels that this boy
00:01:46.420
could achieve that is by not entering the girls washroom anymore because i mean there's there's
00:01:51.260
no reason for any male to ever be entering a female's washroom or vice versa or or any of that
00:01:59.320
there's you know there's special bathrooms for them that were created at their request initially so
00:02:07.920
you know i feel that the you know it's it's the adults that didn't step in and do their job
00:02:14.460
that led to this situation right so garrett um i appreciate that update so where what was the
00:02:22.340
time span like what was this going on i believe uh the altercation took place in may so over what
00:02:30.660
time period were the girls having to endure this abuse um at the school
00:02:36.940
i mean my my son didn't approach me um initially i've i've you know uh i feel like he felt like he
00:02:46.460
could probably get down to control you know trying to have a conversation with this boy but um
00:02:51.720
from what he's explained to me you know we're looking at a three to four month ish kind of period
00:02:57.520
you know we're talking about the recollection of a teenage boy at 15 years old right so
00:03:02.160
you know give or take a month on that right but uh you know at least three to four months that this
00:03:08.160
issue was prevailing and uh like i said the other young girl who was direct friends with my son
00:03:14.580
she had complained seven times is what she she claims at least that she can recall
00:03:34.420

00:03:39.440
