Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi taiohi e whakawhiua ana, me tōna whaea, e inoi ana, e tūmanako ana ka mutu te mahi a ngā ākonga i whakawehi i ō rātau oranga me tō rātau haumaru. E whakamārama ana te whaea, kua riro i tana tamahine, e kore nei e mōhiotia hei tiaki i a ia, he nui o ngā karere i runga i ngā pāpāho pāpori mai i ētahi o ōna hoa akomanga i Gordo High School i Alabama e takahi ana i te raina, ā, kua riro hei whakawehi nui. I roto i te meka, kotahi te pānui; 'Kati koe koe ranei ka patua e matou tou utuafare.' I roto i tētahi atu karere, ka tukuna e tētahi ākonga ki te kotiro he whakaahua o tētahi patu tūturu. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He kotiro 13-tau-tau (kei runga ake nei me tona whaea me o ratau kanohi e ngaro ana mo to raatau haumaru) kei te whakawhiua e nga akonga i tana kura i Gordo, Alabama. I roto i tētahi karere i tuhia e ngā ākonga o Gordo High School (i runga ake nei) ki a ia; 'Kati koe i a koe, ka patua rānei e mātou tō whānau' 'Kua whakawehia ō mātou whānau, ka pupuhihia ngā whare. He mea whakamiharo noa iho ko nga tamariki o te tau e whakaaro ana tatou e mahi ana i tetahi mea penei, 'i kii te whaea ki a Fox 6. 'Kaore he tangata e hiahia ana ki te haere i roto i tenei... e kore e hoatu e ahau i te reira i runga i toku hoariri kino rawa,' tāpiri te taiohi. 'I te wā e oho ake ana ahau, e hari ana ki te haere ki te kura kia kite i oku hoa. Inaianei ka pouri ahau ki te ara ake i te ata.' I kii te Kaitiaki Kura o Pickens County, a Jamie Chapman, kua whakapā atu te pirihimana, ā, kei te mahia ngā mea katoa hei whakarite i tēnei āhuatanga, kia mutu ai te whakawhiu. Ahakoa kei te whakaekehia tonutia ia, kei te kaha tonu te taiohi e whakaekehia ana, e tuku ana hoki i tētahi karere ki ētahi atu e mamae ana hoki i ngā kaiwhiu. 'Kei te whakamate te tangata i a ia anō nā tēnei. He uara koutou katoa i ia hēkona o koutou katoa i runga i tenei whenua. Kaua rawa koe e whakaaro ehara koe i te mea na te Atua koe i tuku mai ki konei mo tetahi take,' ka mea ia.
