We see a lot of information on the news, um on social media, on an Internet itself, and some we pay attention to, some don't. But every now and then you run across or you hear about something that is just so disturbing it just blows your mind. What are you talking about? Oh, give me a moment, cousins and kenn let me gather what I'm telling you about, and I'm gonna share that which in just a moment, so sit tight, don't go nowhere. We'll be right back with you right here currently under construction. Well, we're bad cousins and king of folks. Now I want you all to take a listen to this and I'll be right back with my commentary on it. And mind you not, this is allegedly allegedly because every person is innocent til proven guilty, but this is just we'll just listen.

6:34 Brillly upsetting. These three boys appeared wearing masks and hoodies pulled over their heads. They got into a school bus at Unson Hill. They pushed right on by. The driver, went up to a middle schooler, put the gun to his chest and pulled the trigger three times. Thankfully, nothing happened because the gun jam the teenage girl who was in court. Generally, here, the majority of the kids involved are eight graders, and this is very, very dangerous. Now. Normally hearings evolving juveniles are not open to the public, but in this shocking case of attempted murder by children, the young teens aren't charged as adults. So with his surprise arrest over the weekend of a girl, we were all completely unaware of There as yet another hearing today that was open to the public, and what we're learning again is chilling.

7:21 It was a hit squad style attack on a Prince George's County school bus caught on video. A boy with a gun tries to shoot and kill a fourteen year old while two accomplices hold the victim down. Had the gun not jammed repeatedly, the victim would surely have died. Investigators have set in court and today in a Prince George's County courtroom, we learned the attack was allegedly orchestrated by an eighth grade girl who's accused of texting the attackers before they rushed the bus to let them know the victim was seated and the last rider left. The fourteen year old girl was arrested over the weekend and charged as an adult with attempted murder. Tense bailiffs in the courtroom watched to keep family members separated The suspects. Family begged for the girl to be released into home detention before trial, but arguments by attorneys revealed there are allegations of gang ties, and the victim's mother begged the judge not to let the girl go home, saying her family and the school bus driver would be terrorized that the girl could orchestrate another attack. She planned this out, and she set it up to a t, the victim's mother said. Judge Byron Berriano ordered the girl held without bail in a juvenile facility, saying that home detention may keep her off the streets, but would not prevent her from planning more deadly mayhap. Prosecutor Aesha Brainboy reflected on how dangerous these suspects are alleged to be despite their young age.

8:45 And she's the we your parents, saying, you know my childho good child. You know that they weren't involved. I can't believe it, but believe that it happens. Unfortunately, Barn. Too often our communities and young people are making a dope decisions and have a dope consequences. Cousins and kin folks. Cousins and kin folks. Did you just hear that? Did you just hear that? These our babies, these these these these are middle school kids. These are thirteen fourteen year old kids. Had not the gun jammed every time they pull the trigger. This is a different story. This is a completely different story. Now I'm gonna do my best to try to follow up and find out more or whatever else I can find out on it.

10:00 But I am completely apault and in shock to the point that the it's it's bad enough. Three kids got on a bus that they didn't even ride, pushing past the bus driver, two to hold this boy down and while the other one shoot him, which thank god the gun jammed, but the top it off. It was masterminded allegedly by a girl. What could this child have done that warrant? This little girl manipulating asking whatever the case may be, we don't know yet, so I'm not going to speculate. But together these boys together and convinced them to murder this boy. This is serious, Cousins of Kire, for us, we we are losing our children at an alarming rate. This is a whole new level of of of of of hate,

11:30 of of of of of even of just being completely lost and not caring. This is a whole new level. They planned to kill this boy and they went out to execute it. This wasn't just a conversation that was had in the heat of a moment or anything like that and then it was overheard or anything. This was planned out. This was went out to be executed.

12:13 There were text messages allegedly sick stating the last ride has gotten off, he's on the bus, he's seated, and they've all are being charged as adults, not as a juvenile, but as adults. At fourteen. Your life hasn't even begun to start yet. You have just thrown your life completely away and have been gotten started. Now, this happened in Prince George County, which is in Maryland. This is one of the most affluent, diverse neighborhoods and counties in the country. So who yologists gotta bear with me, cousins and kidding for because again, the whole thing about it just blows my mind completely. It blows it enough. And when we know there are adults making decisions like this and then going out to put these are kids, these

13:48 are teenagers, these are kids, These are kids, and i'm i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, I'm I'm just I'm lost. And then the girl's mother not said as a mother, she didn't have a right to ask that or think. But how could you think that the court would go along with it? They think they're just gonna let this girl go with charges that serious on her own recognance for house arrest. I'm a parent. I'm a parent, and as a parent, I'm torn between it because I can see this from two ways. As a mother, you want your child home and not locked up for such a horrendous deal. But by the same token, your child made a decision that cost stuff for the rest of her life and convinced three others to participate in this. These are baby, y'all. These babies just lives are gone. These babies lives are gone. They are going

15:24 to be gone for a long time. And it's horrible. It's it's it's I'm still just trying to wrap my mind around it. I had a completely different episode set and ready for the day cousins and Kenning folks, but I would after seeing that that's the only thing that had been on my mind, and I had just had to share it with you all. Where As parents got to do that, we as parents have to get more involved in our kids' lives and see what's going on. We have got to get back to our kids. Ain't got no business were at home when I was coming up the stoves. Even though my mom, my dad, my grandmother, they gave me what I thought was privacy. Really I didn't. I couldn't have any privacy. I did not. They was in my business all the time, so they knew what I was doing. Even though I thought I was trying to be slick, they knew what I was doing. We have to get back to that, cousins and king folks. We as adults, we as parents, we as a community, we have to get back to getting

16:57 in these kids business, in any and everything they do, their phones, their computers, whatever. We got to get in that. We can't depend on the internet and social media to raise and look out for our children because we are losing them. The worst thing when I was coming up, you had to worry about losing your child too. Was a game or the streets. Not saying that's not that's a good thing, but but it's it's you can fight it off. And half the time those that was in the streets saw and knew that you were if you were built for that or not.

17:45 The sitdn't tell you you ain't built for this. Go home, go to school. You need to be in school or doing whatever. But see now, now we're allowing the internet and social media to raise our children, and we don't don't know what they're doing. We got to get back in these kids businesses, cousins and king folks, we got to get back shown up that there is no privacy what you're doing. Who are on the phone with beca'setall going through the computers, stall going through these phones. There is no way that these four children should have been able to sit and for whatever length of time plot this attempted murder up, allegedly alleged attempt to murder up and set out to execute it. That's no way possible that should have enabled to even happen. We have to get back in our kids' lives. We have to get back to being as we had to get back to shot that.

19:02 Hey look I'm this is this is how it is. They get mad at you. Oh well, now many times I was mad at my mom and my dad been for me, Me feeling up sitting there feeling they say, in my business, going on through my stuff and everything, but my stuff day the one who bought it. I live with them, it's their house. They pay the bagels. Yeah, we got to get back to doing that. Cousins, the Kent folks. This is this is getting out of this. This is getting out of hand. We got to get our kids back. We are losing our children a mile a minute. We are losing our children. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families that involved in this situation. Even though the young man wasn't harmed, he wasn't shot.

20:30 Again, the gun jammed and that was nothing but God. There was nothing but God protecting it. If you don't ever think God is where you look at a situation like that, what are the chances at this this gun that these these little these children, this little boy who ever had the gun, look at it, what are the chances of I'm pretty sure they've shot this gun more than one time that this instant, at this moment when you go to go do this, the gun jam. And every time you try to pull the trigger, the gun jammed. You can look at it and say that was used an error. You can look and said, well, maybe the gun was old, maybe it was wasn't cleaned and maintained properly.

21:25 Whatever the case was, that's nothing but God. At that moment it jammed. For every time he pulled the trigger, the gun jammed and did not go off. That cousin of ken folks is nothing but the hand of God. That is nothing but that. And I'm praying for all these babies because these babies, these babies gonna need a lot of help. These babies gonna need a lot of support. These babies are gonna need a lot of counseling.

22:18 And as horrific as this whole situation is, all of these babies, the four accused and the victim, gonna need all the support that they can get where the village, I'm gonna get on the body of Hey, y our cousins, can't folks. That is today's episode of Currently on the Construction. Be back tomorrow with a new another new episode possible the topic that I even had set for today.

Once again, you can listen to us on Apple podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Podetcasts, Spotify Radio, Public, Deezer, iHeartRadio, castro cast Box, and many many others. My heart hurts, Cousins of King Folks, for these baby I don't even know. I don't know any of them, but as a parent and as a huge proponent of it takes a village to raise children and being and being a part of that community, I believe in it. And this hurts me because again I'm a parent and I'm a human being, and I have a big heart, and this is awful. This is awful on so many levels.

24:15 Again, my prayers go out to all of the families involved, and they're gonna need our prayers, all of them. I'm gonna get on out of here, Cousins and King of Folks. I love y'all, and there's nothing that you can do about it. And I was once again congratulations to our winners.
