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.

More impulsive than average?

She described her boy as a "great kid" but "very energetic" because of the behavioral disorder. "He’s off the wall — doesn’t sit still, ever," she added.

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.

#3 A good interview question might have been: “Did you routinely leave your gun lying on the coffee table?”

Or: “Is there a chance that you might die is a hail of bullets, if you put your son in timeout?”

#6 Being diagnosed as ADHD does not imply that one cannot recognize a system that only seeks to punish. That has been the reality for boys in PS for at least 2 decades. Universities offer only continued punishment, but with an LE twist! There is an intelligent design to this.

#8 "He’s off the wall — doesn’t sit still, ever,"

Isn't that the definition of being a kid?

#9 Can we ask where his father is in all of this? He has two parents, and the mother is being charged with felony child neglect, so there is much more to this story?
