I used to teach Elementary School. This is so angering. At the point Adrian is at the trash bucket there are two teachers standing in front of her watching her. How can they not recognize the signs of choking!! She’s trying to save herself because several teachers did nothing.
At the school I worked at, on the first day of school at lunch, we taught all the children the sign for choking and the staff was taught to watch for it. Children like to laugh and talk during their lunchtime and so the odds of choking increase. This is so sad and if I were her parents, I would be beyond livid.
I own a lifevac. It’s an investment that all schools should make and I recommend everyone own one too.
🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE: EIGHT-YEAR-OLD ADRIAN THOMPSON’S FINAL MOMENTS - DEVASTATING NEWLY RELEASED WITNESS STATEMENTS
Please be advised that the footage is extremely distressing to watch. I ask everyone who watches or discusses it to remember that this was a child whose family continues to grieve an unimaginable SENSELESS loss. I will be transparent and say that NOTHING about this investigation has ever sat right with me.
I have spent considerable time investigating the tragic death of eight-year-old Adrian Thompson, who died following a choking incident at Velma Penny Elementary School in Lindale, Texas, on April 15, 2026.
I previously reported on the Texas Rangers’ investigative findings, including significant concerns surrounding the school’s emergency response, the DELAY in choking intervention, and the use of ADULT-sized LifeVac masks.
But now, after reviewing the newly released surveillance footage, I am even more disturbed by what happened that day. I warn you, the absolute lack of urgency during those critical moments is both heartbreaking and infuriating.
You will see an eight-year-old little girl visibly struggle, desperately attempting to communicate that something is wrong.
According to the Rangers’ timeline, Adrian began exhibiting visible signs of choking at approximately 1140 am. She was grabbing at her throat, attempting to clear her mouth, and showing signs of distress.
She was subsequently directed toward a trash can by school employee Chelsea Wiggins, who stated that she initially believed Adrian was going to vomit.
Rather than immediately receiving documented choking intervention, back blows, or any apparent attempt to address a potential airway obstruction, Adrian was asked whether she needed to use the restroom.
Adrian eventually left the cafeteria and ran toward the nurse’s office, alone.
It is also worth noting that Chelsea Wiggins remains employed by Lindale ISD.
A separate eyewitness statement I obtained describes Adrian panicking and communicating her need for help through her body movements.
That witness wrote:
“The teacher only walked her out the cafeteria but didn’t walk with her to the nurse. The little girl ran by her self to the nurses office.”
Other employee statements describe an adult following Adrian toward the nurse. However, none of these accounts eliminates the serious questions surrounding the response during those initial moments.
Nearly two minutes had passed between Adrian’s first visible signs of distress and her arrival at the nurse’s office, according to the Rangers’ timeline.
The nurse’s own documentation indicates that she began the Heimlich maneuver after Adrian started turning blue. Documentation also states that 911 was not called from the nurse’s station, but from a separate office instructed BY the nurse’s station.
Side note of information: After researching the nurse’s license, public records show that Lindale ISD is the only school she has been employed by from 1998 until present.
Adrian subsequently collapsed after the Heimlich failed. Efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful.
I am deeply troubled by the apparent failure to recognize the severity of this emergency sooner.
As a mother, watching this footage is extremely difficult. As an independent journalist, I believe it raises questions that deserve answers.
I also previously reported that the two LifeVac devices examined by the Texas Rangers had ADULT masks attached, despite Adrian being only eight years old.
I am releasing this footage in the interest of public awareness and accountability, not to sensationalize Adrian’s death or exploit her family’s unimaginable loss. It has been shared with PERMISSION from the family.
Parents deserve to know that the schools entrusted with their children’s safety are adequately prepared to respond when SECONDS matter.
Staff statements will be shared in the thread.

The next time the FKR CULT disciples say that Kerry Roberts and Jen McCabe lied, remind them that the only person who changed her story was also the only person charged with a crime.
The truth only has one version, yet Karen Read knowingly and repeatedly changed her story....

I can’t imagine Rob’s pain. Physically and emotionally. 💔
She ran down the entire family and their dog, killing Eddie, claiming the sun was in her eyes and she accidentally hit the gas. 🙄
A police reconstruction team ruled that solar glare was not a contributing factor in the crash. 🤔
Jury found her not guilty in 2022.
If you want to get away with murder, do it in MA.
On the left, we have the entitled McInnis family of Westwood, MA - Anne and her parents Bill and Katherine (their PUBLIC Facebook photos), who have direct access to TEXTING the @WestwoodPD anytime they see a “scary flyer” that reminds the public that their adult daughter Anne mowed down and killed a 6 year old boy in 2017. On the right, we have the Thomson family. 6 year old Eddie is no longer on this earth. His father Rob, who was also mowed down and seriously injured by Anne McInnis of Westwood, MA is being charged with multiple counts of witness intimidation and violations of a harassment prevention order simply for using his free speech to remind the public that Eddie was murdered by posting the flyers seen here, high up on telephone poles. As an aside, Rob was told by NCDA to remain silent on the murder of Eddie for 5 YEARS while he waited for Anne’s trial to end, which he did. In 2022 Anne was found not guilty on all charges because as we are all aware, @MassStatePolice are incapable of investigating crime scenes. For the “crime” of finally being able to “speak” of his tragic loss, Rob is now the DEFENDANT sitting in court this week. Norfolk County is the most corrupt county in Massachusetts. Zoom was shut down yesterday in court because Ann’s job @Bloomgdales in New York was tagged. If my ADULT child, who doesn’t even live in MA killed a 6 year old boy, I certainly would not be using my entitlement to text the @WestwoodPD over flyers that can barely be seen because of how high they are on the telephone poles. Note to Westwood PD, MA State Police and NCDA: This post contains publicly posted photos by the McInnis family, MSM and factual information discussed in public court documents. This is NOT witness intimidation; it is public photos and public information being shared for educational purposes. Retweet and make all aware that the McInnis Family, Norfolk County DA and the @WestwoodPD believe THEY get to choose how a father grieves by taking away his right to free speech.

Hudson, OH officer can see a man lying dead on his stomach through the back patio glass door.
She and another officer open the door, she looks down at the victim and says “looks like suicide”.
Whaaaaatttt?!
The other officer says “I don’t see a weapon”.
They clear the house. The male officer says he sees several bullet casings in the room where the victim is lying.
The female officer says “maybe he tied [killing himself] multiple times.
Again, whaaaattt?!
This is a problem. Every officer should be assuming murder until proven otherwise. I hope I am never murdered in Hudson, OH.

With a trial this long, it’s hard for me to believe that the jurors aren’t reading news and are staying off social media.
Nowadays people can’t stay off social media for an hour let alone weeks.
And the news is everywhere - offices, bars, restaurants, gyms.
How can you avoid it?
Rachel Tussey - I’m still thinking about her death. No amount of money will make up for the nurses’ mistake. But they should be held accountable. The husband watched as his wife suddenly became non responsive. So very traumatic and preventable. fox19.com/2026/05/07/husband…
