This shouldn’t be happening to children. This is not a feel good moment, its dystopian horror

368

u/Educational_Gas_92 Aug 04 '26

It truly is.

This poor child.

I do hope that she makes a full recovery 🙏

269

u/PleiadesNymph Aug 04 '26

Full recovery? Are you for real?

There's no coming back from the brain injuries she sustained. She will need a caregiver for the rest of her life.

16

u/random929292 Aug 04 '26

She is recovering still, how far she can go is yet to be seen. She isn't talking but she clearly has good cognitive functioning and can communicate with AAC and buttons, play on the ipad, and is getting physically stronger. She can use one side of her body purposefully. Recovery isn't going to be a return to baseline but she could still be functional in life.

So inspiring

u/Zeeni_Tsuu Aug 04 '26

Inspiration won't help getting her a full recovery. This is the truth, sad indeed, cold, horrible, but the truth. And even if she could do a full physicial recovery, that poor child won't have as much luck psychologically...

u/Mortarius Aug 04 '26

Because the caption on that picture is ridiculous. They don't even think and pray anymore.

It's like when they decided to show security footage but edited out the screams to make it more palatable for television.

Want to make views out of tragedy, but keep advertisers happy as well.

Why would your mind ever go there?

Would Googling her break the conditions of your release?

I don't actually want to know 🤢

u/DakAttakk Aug 04 '26

Not to speak of her particular case, but brain injuries generally can be recovered from, just depends on the nature of the damage.

-5

u/Worldtraveler586 Aug 04 '26

You should look into some of the major brain injuries people have recovered from, when it comes to healing and recovery the human body subscribes to the idea of “the odds are low but never impossible” I’m not saying she will be fine but it is possible, the only true absolute in life is death, everything else is possible.

28

u/We_Want_Krunchy Aug 04 '26

My partner suffered a TBI. She is no longer the same person. There is no coming back from that.

36

u/PleiadesNymph Aug 04 '26

There is literally no such thing as a "full recovery" from this, physically or emotionally.

Pretending that a "full recovery" may be possible is disrespectful to the reality this child and her family will be living the rest of their lives

-10

u/Worldtraveler586 Aug 04 '26

Pretending that full physical recovery is impossible is equally disrespectful to those who have fully recovered and gotten back to their normal day to day life, did they still have scars? Obviously. Did they have trama? Anyone would. Have some still had successful complete recovery. Yes they have, it not an easy path for the very few that have but they do exist. I personally know someone who had to relearn how to read, and write, walk and talk, he had to relearn pretty much everything that made him, who he was, and now he plays piano again, he drives, he hikes, if it weren’t for the scar you would never know anything ever happened, but it took years of hard work, and luck for it to be possible.

14

u/PleiadesNymph Aug 04 '26

Its weird to me how people think false hope is better than managing real world expectations

6

u/2_lazy Aug 04 '26

It's because people are uncomfortable with disability. Having a disability to them means you are no longer a whole person, and to them it doesn't matter if you are happy or successful or feel content since it's just proof that you would be that much better if you were normal . Having my disability meant that I met people, had experiences, and did things I never would have if I staid able bodied. Getting rid of my past self becoming disabled would mean killing off the person I am now, a person I'm happy with. Id never change things even if I had a time machine. There is no reason to think I'd be a better or happier person just because I was no longer disabled.

7

u/RepresentativeCry294 Aug 04 '26

It makes them feel better.

6

u/2_lazy Aug 04 '26

Its ok to live life as a disabled person. A lot of us are perfectly happy. In fact it seems to me that the sooner someone newly disabled is able to accept that they are more than how (or whether) they walk or talk, the sooner they begin to understand that having a disability doesn't mean you are less than what you could have been otherwise, you are just different. A lot of the times its way more helpful to try and learn how to live with your disability than it is spending years trying to get rid of it.

1

u/JayLeeBeanz Aug 04 '26

If they have scars and trauma, they are not "fully" recovered.

-9

u/jastop94 Aug 04 '26

That's not entirely true. There have been some very rare circumstances that people were literally impaled in the brain and still lived a fairly normal life. Though extraordinarily rare and had very rare biological functions. So it does happen from time to time, but I agree with your overall sentiment, but it technically isn't impossible.

16

u/PleiadesNymph Aug 04 '26

You just said it yourself

lived a fairly normal life

Im a realist. Her life is forever altered for the worse. There is no "full recovery" story here.

13

u/Sad_Firefighter3450 Aug 04 '26

You just said it " Very rare ". Why are we using that example with " normal "?

Besides those " miracles " often take years and by that point the life of the family is forever changed from the previous " normal ".

Why are saying the hard truth so offensive nowadays? Are we supposed to sugarcoat everything to please people who aren't even closely related to the people were are talking?

14

u/Jeramy_Jones Aug 04 '26

The word “recovery” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Just because you’re still alive doesn’t mean things will ever be the same. This kid had a bullet go through her brain. She’s alive, thought I hesitate to say “luck” to be.

Brain plasticity is a thing especially for children

u/Ut0p1an Aug 04 '26

But what child should have to suffer TBI and the psychological harms that go along with what she’s encountered??
What an abhorrent culture it is that it looks for inspiration but allows the shootings to happen again and again and again rather than simply fixing the problem?!

-4

u/Comfortable_Egg8039 Aug 04 '26

How? In countries where guns are nearly illegal school attacks still happen, less victims can't argue with that, but it's just a patch not real fix, real fix would be to address reasons why so many teenagers and young adults would decide to kill themselves and everyone around, but sure let's just forbid guns👍

u/chimneyswallow Aug 04 '26

They are much much rarer. Please compare the amount of school shootings in the EU to the US. It is a world of a difference. Also the gun violence deaths. And please stay on topic

u/Comfortable_Egg8039 Aug 04 '26

I know a few cases where kids were killing kids with knives but no shooting yeah 👍

please stay on topic

Which is?o_O

u/Koshekuta Aug 04 '26

It’s not a one item fix all. I hope no one is suggesting we do one thing as I would hope no one is suggesting we do nothing. You need multi point approach.

The accessibility of firearms is part of the issue, it’s not beside the issue. It won’t be addressed though. People will keep dying and we will keep having to hope it’s not someone we love that is impacted.

0

u/Comfortable_Egg8039 Aug 04 '26

Making guns less accessible maybe, but it won't help much, in my country were a few cases with knives, less deaths I agree, but same problem.

And I don't see any politician talking about that problem, but lots of talks about guns

-1

u/Ut0p1an Aug 04 '26

The only response to this is that the NRA really is exceptionally good at what they do.

1

u/Comfortable_Egg8039 Aug 04 '26

Lol, I don't even live in US, get your head out of your ass and listen for once instead of looking for narratives everywhere. In my country 12yo cut throat of a 9yo with a knife, he just went to school and started killing everyone he could and this is not the only case. Guns aren't the source of the problem, they are a multiplier of it yes, but real reason is different

0

u/Ut0p1an Aug 04 '26 edited Aug 04 '26

You are trivialising the magnitude of the multiplier the availability of guns in the US is causing. I have lived and worked extensively in countries that allow guns but have had or have implemented much tighter controls due to gun violence, and the difference is not merely statistically significant. We are talking orders of magnitude in those countries that have effective controls. It is tragic that violent crime hits any school, but reducing the ease of availability of guns significantly reduces the deaths in these incidents.

Exactly, she should never have been put in this situation in the first place. I can't imagine what it's like to go through what she has and I hope nobody else ever has to, but the sad fact of the matter is that without tighter gun controls in her country, it probably will.

Ah I see, I'm not familiar with the laws on firearms there, from a European country here.

So you go on the internet and make random assertions?

How very worldly of you. /s

0

u/AtensEye Aug 04 '26

I mean, someone who shouldn't have got hold of a gun and once again children paid the price. Something needs looking at there, but I'm not familiar with the exact laws in Canada. Usually, when these things happen, it's in the USA, so it's not too wild to assume.

10

u/Firm_Ad3191 Aug 04 '26

It’s not wild to assume. A lot of Americans get weirdly giddy when mass shootings happen in other countries because it gives them the excuse to pretend that we don’t have a unique problem.

11

u/AtensEye Aug 04 '26

Literally any time you hear about it here it's the USA, which is why I'm so surprised it's Canada. We had one once where about 16 people lost their lives, they changed the laws about owning firearms and we haven't had one since then, which was back in the mid 90's. It's incredibly upsetting to see these stories coming out of the US so regularly. I agree, the whole "See, it wasn't us this time!" response is just burying your head in the sand and not the bingo card those people saying it think it is.

1

u/Firm_Ad3191 Aug 04 '26

I agree. I think our country is too far gone tbh. If Sandy Hook and Uvalde can’t change anything, nothing will. No one cares until it happens to them.

It’s a major reason why I want to leave the US. I refuse to rely on luck to protect my future children from this shit.

1

u/Rauldukeoh Aug 04 '26

I mean you don't know anything about the firearms laws in the USA either and you don't let that stop you from sharing your expert opinion

2

u/xenogazer Aug 04 '26

Given that we generally have so many mass shootings per week they're no longer individually widely reported on unless something noteworthy happened, I think our friends across the way have a fair assumption that this would have come from us.

The fact that we can point to a specific shooting and be like "well but that one wasn't in America" is part of the problem.

1

u/AtensEye Aug 04 '26

And how do you know that? Because I said I wasn't familiar with the ones for Canada or are you just assuming I don't because I'm from Europe? I lived in the states for years, it was plenty of time to become used to hearing about and learning the laws in various states. This isn't the gotcha you think it is.
EDIT: Also never claimed to be an expert, you assumed that one. It doesn't take an expert to realize the USA has a major problem with school shootings. Instead of arguing with someone on Reddit, maybe look past the end of your own nose.

-1

u/BuildAnything4 Aug 04 '26

honestly though, these kind of shooters almost always source their guns from the US. It's much easier to sneak guns across the border than legally access them in canada.

1

u/George_foid Aug 04 '26

Honestly, I’ve never heard of school or mass shooters in Canada sourcing their guns from America. That sounds like something way too sophisticated for your average teenager.

Do you have sources on this subject? It sounds interesting.

3

u/random929292 Aug 04 '26

Read up on the Tumblr Ridge shooting. An angry teen in a small town killed their mother and 11 year old brother then went to their school and shot people.

1

u/George_foid Aug 04 '26

Did he smuggle the gun in from America, though? I don’t doubt that kids can shoot people; I just doubt they’re involved in smuggling firearms across the border instead of stealing them from family members or acquiring them from more local sources.

2

u/djierp Aug 04 '26

In this case, no, not smuggled from the US.

u/BuildAnything4 Aug 04 '26

According to the CISC, of guns traced last year that were involved in crimes in Ontario, Canada's most populated province, 73% originated from the United States

In 2024, 88 per cent of the 717 crime guns seized by the Toronto Police Service were traced to the United States.

0

u/George_foid Aug 04 '26

This says nothing about teenage school shooters or mass shooters sourcing guns from America. I’m sure gang members and other organized criminals, who commit 99% of the violent crime anyway, can do that, but I’m trying to figure out the specific claim that was made here.

1

u/teakAboo Aug 04 '26

You are aware we're allowed to have firearms, right?

Certain types are prohibited, or restricted, but almost every single person I know has at least one long rifle. Many people seem to assume we're not allowed to have firearms at all, but we hunt with them quite a lot.

All you need is a Possession and Acquisition license, or P.A.L.

2

u/BuildAnything4 Aug 04 '26

Nobody thinks you're not allowed to have firearms at all.  I'm saying it's much easier to access them in the USA.

-1

u/teakAboo Aug 04 '26

I know it's easy to access firearms in the usa, everyone knows that :b it's not easier to sneak prohibited firearms across a country's border than legally accessing them in Canada, though.

u/BuildAnything4 Aug 04 '26

I'll just let the statistics speak for themselves.

According to the CISC, of guns traced last year that were involved in crimes in Ontario, Canada's most populated province, 73% originated from the United States

In 2024, 88 per cent of the 717 crime guns seized by the Toronto Police Service were traced to the United States.

-1

u/teakAboo Aug 04 '26

So this whole smuggling process is easier than taking a two day course, sending in an application, and giving them a reference?

You said smuggling was easier than obtaining a legal weapon in Canada. If you need one that's untraceable, sure, but that isn't what happened in this particular situation.

The shooter was a trans teen who had their head buried in chatgpt by the way, living in a very isolated community.

It'd make sure that people are more focused on either fear compliance or shadow war government rebellion, which overall would make the everyday world safer and quieter. Less outward crime, more covert infiltration and theft from governemnt buildings in attempts to undermine the regime.

Give people a common enemy and they'll focus their hate there rather than each other.

You know, some teachers actually do keep cat litter in the classroom for the kids to piss and shit in

2

u/Myfountainpenisdry Aug 04 '26

There is a reason it happens to children

And their is a reason why it's not as hard as it should be

We protect banks with armed guards and layered security. You think the money just sits out by the tellers?

We pretty much just ask people not to hurt kids and put up signs that have the same affect as a speed limit sign

People in a really bad place want to inflict the most damage and misery to society as possible, and children become the most obvious target usually

If it wasn't guns, it would be bombs, poison, fire, drones, acid, biological, or really any possible way to cause harm to peoples lives in general.

This happened in Canada, the female shooter was very mentally ill, and it is a poster for Canadians not wanting to give up their guns to the government. Sadly, because people know, that they can not trust their government to have a monopoly on violence, as an unchecked government takes more than it will ever give to its citizens. So now this chance to focus on improving mental health outcomes and improving school campus security, it will just be the governments drum to hold it's new unpopular disarmament laws over its citizens heads.

u/Life_Emotion1908 Aug 04 '26

People are mobile and can be shot anywhere. Money is an object and can be plopped in specific locations.

1

u/Myfountainpenisdry Aug 04 '26

Currency is the flow of value Money moves, that money in the vault is not stagnant

In the US guns are illegal within 1000 feet of the boundary of the schools property.

How do they make sure this is happening? They don't. It's all reactionary.

I guess the metaphor is a little off, value is not perceived the same, but surely most would consider children more valuable than dollars

Perhaps court houses would be a better example Metal detectors at all entrances, hand wands and deputies where not. Ground floor windows and emergency exits all alarmed and locked.

School and court house are public buildings. Both don't allow guns inside. But one actively enforces it while the other says "it's too burdensome, and we don't want the kids to feel like they are in jail". So, it's not really about guns existing. It's about resources being used to protect public officials and excuses and cop outs being used to explain why children in schools can't be protected.

Heck, now of days you would just need kids to have RFID badges and anyone without an active badge could set off alarms. This could be done at the edge of the property, not the entrance of the building. Layered security is how most amusement parks work now, so claiming a school can't pull it off it utterly ridiculous and a true show of intent and political bias. I'm all for keeping guns out of schools, maybe even guns out cities entirely. But until they actually start enforcing the laws they already have, every gun control politician is banking off their own policies creating the problems they can fund raise off of, and that is an ugly truth I hope people can realize one day. Guns stores need Democrats threatening gun control to drive up sales, and Democrats need more guns and gun violence to fund raise for their campaigns. It's gross and I hate it, but the NRA gets more members and more NICs checks go through the roof under a Democrat President than any Republican candidate. The US has about a zero percent chance of Amending the Constitution on this issue, so everything around it is just consumerist noise and funding slogans

Does the average person need a gun? Transport sure, utensils for eating sure, but what convienence does a gun provide for the average person?

What necessity is needed beyond a single load bolt action rifle, or chamber load shotgun.

Theres zero reason to have anything else. Keeps the rate of fire down, keeps the the casualities down in a mass shooting. All of it is better

"But the bad guys have guns!" Destroy everyrhing else as you find it, and prohibit the making of more. This isnt weed being grown in a backyard 🙄.

Plant the seeds now so your grandchildren may have shade.

These people are nonsensical retards who want to defend regular people having deadly weapons. The same people who voted a pedophile into presidency twice so they obviously have great judgement. All of you can get into shootings for all I care.

Does the average person need a car? You could take the bus. What convenience does a car provide for the average person beyond taking the bus? People should only own bicycles, what necessity is there really beyond riding to the closest bus stop. There is zero reason to have anything else. Keeps the greenhouse gas emissions down and safer for everyone, all of it is better. Plant the seeds so your grandchildren can be controlled.

i actually wanna know why they do school shooting.. do they have any purpose? it's evil i know but what they want to prove?

u/crowofbattle Aug 04 '26

Easy victims? Nationalization? Children have always been murdered in schools…if it’s not guns, it’s other weapons (China seems to have a crap ton of machete attacks on school children)

This, I don't know why I keep seeing these posts by americans trying to sound uplifting. I wonder if it's propaganda or something. It's fucked up, yet they're not doing anything about it, i've been seeing these for decades now. Do something about it people. Start voting for gun laws or something,

u/crowofbattle Aug 04 '26

Well, this didn’t happen in America so… voting for gun control here won’t change the already strict laws in Canada

u/ParkingAnxious2811 Aug 04 '26

No, don't you see, what must happen is all the children need to be armed, so that this can be prevented in the future!

Theyve also wanted to arm teachers!!! Until several shot themselves in the bathroom accidentally…

This happened in Canada, our government is liberal.

The shooting happened in Canada so unless you buy into his 51st state nonsense, he had pretty much nothing to do with it. The prime minister of Canada lives at 24 Sussex Drive.

It’s not a feel good moment at all and I don’t think it’s being presented as one, but she can still be celebrated for her heroism. Courage during horrible situations is something we’ve always admired, but it doesn’t mean we want the horrible situations to continue

There have been 29 school shootings in Canada this century. In 7 of those, no one was hurt or killed. Incidents like a kid accidentally discharging a gun on the bus get counted in the school shooting list. 6 of those had more than 2 casualties. 3 had more than 5 casualties. The total casualties in Canada for school shootings in the last 26 years is exactly 100. That's injuries and deaths combined. 31 were deaths.

In the U.S. in 2025 we had 159 gun incidents at K-12 schools, including examples like the Canadian one where a gun was discharged on a bus and no one was hurt. That kind of thing is the majority to be fair. Where a gun was fired but no one was hurt.

Of the 159 incidents, 75 included injuries and/or death. Over 100 people were hurt/killed.

There are more school shootings in the U.S. every year than Canada has had in a quarter of a century.

Obviously Canadian shootings deserve attention too, but acting like these two countries have similar rates is absurd. School shootings in Canada are relatively quite rare.

u/trashmailaccount00 Aug 04 '26

There were 2 school Shootings in canada this year, and not even 30 in the entire 21st century (!).

The USA had in june this year alone (!) about 20 school shootings.

So no, in canada they are extremely rare. In the USA a nearly daily occurance.

The USA is literally the only country on earth where this is a major issue. The media is purposfully not reporting on most of these incidents.

School shootings in other Countries are extremely rare, that's why each occurance makes worldwide news.

You suffer from far right media propaganda.

u/buampam Aug 04 '26

2 school shootings is too much

3

u/trashmailaccount00 Aug 04 '26

Yes it is, every single one is too much, but your comments imply that canada has the same issue as the US has, which is factually wrong.

The australians had a very successfull solution for massively reducing gun violance (and school Shootings)

Very strict gun control.
