Ignored Warnings: The Shooting of Abby Zwerner tells the full story — from the day a first-grader opened fire inside his classroom, to the unprecedented court battles that followed.
Hosted by Tony Brueski, this series examines both the criminal case against former assistant principal Ebony Parker, charged with eight felony counts of child neglect, and the ongoing $40 million civil trial brought by teacher Abby Zwerner against the school system that failed to protect her.
Through in-depth reporting, courtroom updates, and forensic legal analysis, Tony unpacks how a series of ignored red flags became a national reckoning over accountability in American education.
Why did so many adults stay silent?
How did policy, fear, and bureaucracy replace common sense?
And will the courts finally decide that silence can be a crime?
This is the story of a gun, a child, and a system that looked away — and the trials now forcing it to answer for every ignored warning.
