Mother of 6-year-old who allegedly shot his teacher Abby Zwerner breaks her silence
[NYPOST] The mother of the 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot his elementary school teacher Abby Zwerner said her son "really liked" the educator — but "felt like he was being ignored" in the days before the incident.Deja Taylor, who is charged with felony child neglect and recklessly leaving a firearm so as to endanger a child, appeared Wednesday on ABC’s "Good Morning America" to discuss the case. "I am, as a parent, obviously willing to take responsibility for him because he can’t take responsibility for himself," Taylor told ABC News, adding that her son’s actions can be tied to his ADHD diagnosis.
Taylor said her son "actually really liked" 25-year-old teacher Zwerner but that during the week of the Jan. 6 shooting, "he felt like he was being ignored." Zwerner has filed a $40 million lawsuit that accuses school officials of repeatedly ignoring warning signs that the youngster had a gun at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News.
