Recently, a local news outlet in Texarkana, Texas, shared a post claiming that Brock McGraw, also known as Broderick, a TISD School District employee, was accused of assaulting a student.
After the post was published, Brock’s brother, who appears on Facebook under the name Easttexas Jap, said the story is one-sided.
He added that his brother loves kids and would never do something like this.
Following the allegations, many people in the comments shared their opinions.
Some believe Brock is innocent, while others say the investigation should continue to uncover the whole truth.
TISD Little League Football Coach Accused of Assaulting a Student, While the Community Supports Him and Says He Is a Good Man!
Mr. McGraw is a behavior support specialist with the Texarkana Independent School District and also coaches Little League football.
According to the TKT Today post, McGraw is charged with felony injury to a child after an incident involving a 13-year-old student at the district’s alternative learning center.
In the post, the media claims that the incident occurred on November 11, which was captured on school surveillance video.
While the media outlet has not provided any authoritative statements or official police reports, the case appears to still be ongoing and the accusation remains.
Following the post, Brock’s brother shared his thoughts, claiming that it is just one side of the story and that his brother is innocent and loves kids.
Not only his brother, but many commenters have expressed their support for Brock, saying they have known him for a long time and that he would never do such a thing.
One Facebook user who knew Brock wrote in the comments:
There are always two sides to every story – then there’s the truth. Every individual that has come into contact with Mr. McGraw, knows that this story is fabricated. Not only is he a lover of children, he also advocates on their behalf. No teacher, behavior specialist, or paraprofessional is expected to take abuse of any kind from a student. Whether it’s spitting, kicking, or name-calling, it’s all unacceptable. D.A.E.P – Disciplinary Alternative Educational Program is a separate campus for students who have been removed from their regular schools for disciplinary reasons. Let that sink in. Brock McGraw I support you. I believe in you. Justice will be served.
In the same post, others claimed that kids these days are out of control and also expressed support for Mr. McGraw, saying that he is a good man and that they have worked with him in the past.
Sharing their experience with a similar situation and showing support for Brock, one person in the same post added:
I’ve known this young man his whole life. He’s been working with kids for 20 plus years. He’s coached little league football etc. I couldn’t even be a substitute in these schools. The kids will have you asking yourself…jail or go home. Yea I’m going home. I don’t believe this for one second.
While community members from different places have shared their concerns, most seem supportive of Brock. Yet, the official reports appear to still be pending.
As of now, no official reports from the concerned authorities or from the Texarkana Independent School District have been released.
Everyone is waiting for justice to be served, with the full truth and the whole story revealed.
