I think the podcast and the Hulu show are based on the same reporting, so I don’t recall there being any major differences. Except that the podcast uses original audio so you get to hear her crazy voice.
I just watched The Dropout on Hulu to get prepared to watch this movie. I don’t want to wait for it to come out on streaming. I listened to The Dropout podcast when it came out so I didn’t think I needed to watch the show, but I’m so glad I did. It was a great series and now the whole story is fresh in my mind.

Started out with a bang, but ended with a whimper. Did not enjoy this one as much as the last 2. And obviously there will be another to follow.


Overall I thought it was good. But I felt there was a lot of unnecessary, drawn out dialogue that took place in meeting rooms. Those scenes lasted longer than in previous seasons. Like Zoe and Nicole agreed to 2 more seasons as long as they were indoors on set 95% of the time.

I was born in 1980. At the time my dad was an LSU DKE. There is a card in my baby book that my Mom saved and it's signed by the Brothers of Zeta Zeta.

Nothin' but class. :cheers:
Only happened once that I know of. I was working at Bennigans on Bluebonnet when I was in college and one of my tables was so horrible I cried. A line cook with a teardrop tattoo on his face told me he was going to make their food “real special.” I told him not to and walked away.

I didn’t ask any follow up questions.

Is it possible the admin felt the same way? They were both kids and it was consensual, and maybe didn't feel it needed to be turned into the authorities?


I think sexual activity between two young children of that age is not normal and tends to be a sign of sexual abuse. I read the whole report, and one of the kids from this incident was involved in another incident that, again, wasn't reported. When its reported, the child will be sent to their local children's advocacy center for an evaluation and further counseling. Law enforcement helps to initiate that process and they can lead an investigation in the event the child is being abused by someone else.

Reporting Trigger: A report is required whenever there is cause to believe a child's physical, mental health, or welfare is endangered


As for highschool kids and being affectionate, I don't know.

I do know that at my son's junior high, if a kid says to his friend jokingly, "bro, I'm gonna' kill you," the teacher has to report it.

They're going to over-correct after this Lyon elementary incident. Things may balance out eventually.

But 8 year old kids being sexually aggressive is not normal, by any means. The teachers should have called law enforcement and let them handle it.
quote:

Just a report that they were investigated by Covington Police and were arrested for failing to report as required by law.

I won't have a opinion one way or another until more info is released.


UPDATE: One of the school board members posted the police report on social media, and it's pretty fricking bad.

Here are some quotes:

quote:

Investigation Initiation On April 29, 2026, at approximately 1026 hours, Detective Brian Brown of the Covington Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division, was contacted by Lieutenant Edwin Masters and advised to meet with the School Resource Officer (SRO) at E. E. Lyon Elementary School. Detective Brown drove to the school and met SRO Janel Walters. SRO Walters explained that there had been an incident in the school involving two boys: a 9-year-old, MINOR 1 (W/M, D.O.B. REDACTED), and an 8-year-old, MINOR 2 (W/M, D.O.B. REDACTED). The boys had been in a bathroom together, and after exiting, MINOR 1 disclosed that MINOR 2 had him perform oral sex on him.


quote:

SRO Walters stated that she had learned of this incident that day and had called her supervisor, Sergeant Bart Ownby. SRO Walters stated she was upset because the incident had occurred the day before (April 28, 2026) and she was not advised about it until a counselor told staff it needed to be reported. It was later determined that the school’s Mental Health Provider (MHP) Robbee Lewis was the one who told staff the incident needed to be reported. SRO Walters stated that the two boys had been in the bathroom and that oral sex had occurred. REDACTED (MINOR 1’s mother), was in the hallway with her son. SRO Walters advised Detective Brown that one of the juveniles had been interviewed by counselor Linda Garon. Detective Brown asked SRO Walters to have REDACTED (MINOR 1’s mother) step into her office once Principal Faciane exited the room.


quote:

Principal Lauryn Faciane came into the SRO office and Detective Brown spoke with her; SRO Walters was present. Mrs. Faciane stated that she had been told by a counselor that the incident had occurred. Detective Brown asked whether she had reported the incident to DCFS, and she stated that she had not. Mrs. Faciane confirmed the incident had occurred on April 28, 2026. She stated that she called her administration, advised them of the incident, and was directed to contact the family and let them know an incident had occurred. Detective Brown explained to Mrs. Faciane that she is a mandated reporter and that counselors are not supposed to be interviewing children regarding sexual abuse. Detective Brown explained that Detective Brown, along with others, had presented the mandated reporter training which she attended. While at the school, Detective Brown learned from SRO Walters of another incident in December of 2025 involving MINOR 2. That incident was never reported to law enforcement or DCFS. It was learned that the administration did not tell the SRO, and she found out weeks later through rumors at the school.


Former School board member candidate Kathleen Cannino has direct links to the PDF reports on her Facebook page if you want to see them. KC Facebook Page

The gist is that these two administrators were advised, formally or otherwise, by STPSB Administration to not report these events to DCFS or law enforcement and keep the investigations in-house. The two admins have a close relationship with "Frankie", who is STPSB Superintendant Frank Jabbia, and he's trying to cover his arse and blame the school resource officer for not doing her job, when there is zero evidence that she received any formal reports from anyone at the school. There's a record of an STPSB staffer saying that these little kids were just "curious" and she said something along the lines of "are we supposed to report every little thing to law enforcement?"

It's all pretty horrifying.

Mike, Mike, Mike, what day is it????
quote:

I wonder if they are about to announce they are deadlocked still.


Court TV said it's a note and not a verdict, so they're probably still deadlocked.
Jury still hung. Court TV says "jurors look frustrated as Tuey-Rodriguez charge read." Judge sent them back to deliberate further.
Maybe a little early, yes.

quote:

Feels like it's gotten very emotional in the jury deliberation room and they can't stand to be around each other anymore



If the online rhetoric regarding this case is any indication, then it's a safe bet that it's happening in the jury room too.
quote:

Should institutions be reopened? Is there a need based on this and many of the homeless roaming the he streets who folks say are mentally ill?


Yes. Trying to find a bed in a mental health hospital for a person who needs it is incredibly difficult. There are only two state-run facilities in Louisiana, one in Jackson and one in Pineville. Prior to the Jindal administration, there were five.

If you talk to anyone who works with the homeless or transient population, they'll tell you that long-term supportive housing (that offers mental health treatment and other supportive services along with housing) is the primary need. Most, if not all, of those people have more than one mental illness and are incapable of maintaining employment or housing without long-term supportive care.

The Clancy case has reminded me of two other fillicide cases.

One is the case of Mark Hambrick. His wife was a professional aquaintance of mine. He and his wife lived in the Bywater. His wife was at work in Baton Rouge, he was home with his 18-month old daughter. He killed her, "at God’s direction. He did so, he told authorities and doctors who examined him, so the state would execute him, allowing for him to be resurrected." This happened 9 years ago. He was never found competent to stand trial and is still hospitalized at the state hospital in Jackson.

The other is from a podcast I listened to called Unrestorable about Catherine Hoggle. Her two children disappeared in 2014, and have never been found. She was the last person to be seen with them, and to this day, she has never told anyone what happened to them. She was arrested that year and was in a psychiatric hospital until 2025. When she was released, she was arrested on first-degree murder charges. She was indicted in 2017, but she was deemed incompetent to stand trial until 2025. Her diagnosis is paranoid schizophrenia.

I'm in the minority on this board and I do believe that she was experiencing psychosis when she committed this crime and that permanent placement in a mental health facility would be appropriate. I also disagree with the lunatic fringe standing outside the courthouse wearing pink. But I don't think that she should ever be released from the psychiatric hospital and I'm of the opinion that medical steps should be taken to ensure she is never able to have anymore children.
Is the roofing company in legal trouble too? I looked it up but was only able to find this from a 2023 article:

quote:

By naming Apex, the LSP report echoes a federal court order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael North in March, which said Apex “assisted” MMA as its “agent” in what North called the “Apex scheme.” North’s ruling also identified a separate “scheme” by MMA to pay $14 million to an Arizona marketing firm, Velawcity, to sign up thousands of Louisiana clients using improper online messages.


quote:

Apex responded by filing a malpractice lawsuit against MMA, in which it denied conspiring with the law firm or receiving anything of value to help it sign up clients.


Is there any way that the roofing company didn’t know that what they were doing was wrong?
quote:

Then why not plead guilty and beg for the chair or get a shiv in prison and handle it? Instead, she is fighting to be free


I don’t know. I don’t think she’s spoken publicly about anything, so we don’t really know exactly what she’s thinking now. My guess is that her parents are in control over it all and would prefer for her to be in a hospital instead of jail. But since she’s being so closely monitored in the hospital, they must believe she’s suicidal.
I disagree. I think she wanted to die then and she wants to die now.
Yes, it’s permanent. She’ll never be able to walk again.
She used a kitchen knife to cut her wrists and neck. She took a bunch of pills and then jumped out of her bedroom (2nd story) window. She coded in the hospital, they revived her, then she was in a coma for a while. She’s currently paralyzed from the waist down and has 24/7 one-on-one care because she’s still a high suicide risk.

I wonder if Kiffin is going to let Neck return to Tiger Stadium.


The student body will chant STTDB for more than just Neck. I was at one game where they did it when the band played “Right Above It” by Lil Wayne.

They’ll chant no matter what so just play the song.
