and i'd like to start off with just letting any other parents or individuals who are experiencing
00:00:14.240
anything with this i really hope this inspires you to uh to come forward and uh say something
00:00:21.040
as well you know it's a little bit intimidating somewhat i'm gonna i'm gonna you know
00:00:28.860
hey but uh at the end of the day if nobody's gonna say anything then uh you know all this is just gonna
00:00:35.740
just keep moving forward with all these incidents just being swept under the rug so uh i really hope
00:00:41.980
that uh this can inspire some other people that are uh going through the same issues to uh speak
00:00:47.440
speak up for themselves um so i mean uh obviously we know the issue at hand here and uh no
00:00:57.600
i'll uh start off saying you know started off you know my son yeah he's a good boy you know he works
00:01:07.360
hard um it's not you know we raise him with good character good morals and uh he's found himself
00:01:14.220
in quite quite the situation so i'll explain in some detail here exactly what's uh what's happened
00:01:20.040
there was a young female friend of his who is 16 um who had confided in him that uh there was a boy
00:01:28.520
entering the uh female's washroom and uh was peeking through stalls and according to her account of what
00:01:38.280
she told me directly um he was achieving an erection amongst other other obvious uh unacceptable behavior
00:01:47.800
um for that situation um and uh so she had informed my son that she had been to uh the vice principal mr
00:01:56.560
woods approximately seven times or more uh to make complaints about these issues and uh nothing had
00:02:05.680
been done and uh so my son had approached the boy on several different occasions over a period of
00:02:13.740
months to try to verbal conversations with him as over these months he had been receiving more
00:02:21.140
complaints from other female students and there was other female students who were not part of the
00:02:27.080
conversation and whom didn't know my son um that had joined in on the conversation and been like oh yes
00:02:33.800
i've been experiencing these same issues um so you know it's it's obviously a big issue
00:02:43.060
and then uh the biggest complaint from the girls was that uh they they have a transgender
00:02:50.920
bathroom or in single stall bathrooms for these reasons right um and they're and they're those are
00:02:57.760
the ones that are supposed to be safe and inclusive if you feel like maybe you're you're part of the
00:03:04.040
lgbtq and you're being made to feel uncomfortable in any of the other bathrooms or you're you know
00:03:11.180
whatever whatever whatever your reason may be for using that that transgender bathroom um but uh
00:03:17.500
so anyways when the uh other girl had complained to uh mr woods all she had received for a response was
00:03:27.000
is that his hands are tied and uh he can't stop that young man from using the washroom
00:03:33.200
so um yeah tony was having a few trying to have a few conversations with him and uh having issues
00:03:45.140
getting uh an acknowledgement or response from this young man he would often just just slap him off or
00:03:52.400
or act like he wasn't uh wasn't really talking to him and would just walk away um
