In an effort to get out of MS-13, a teenager wrote a confession to his teacher, who gave it to the school resource officer, who gave it to the FBI, who gave it to ICE, who is sending him back to El Salvador... to die at the hands of MS-13. Damn.https://features.propublica.org/ms-13/a-betrayal-ms13-gang-police-fbi-ice-deportation/ …

This is a horrifying story. It makes me ask myself, if I were the teacher, what would I have done? What could I have done?

Easier said than done. This is a student who killed someone once. This is a student whose writing was a cry for help. It goes against the grain of every decent educator on the planet to read something like what he wrote and to say nothing and do nothing.

I'm gonna suggest that there were options other than "fink on a child who confided in you" and "nothing"

The teacher seems to have thought the kid would get witness protection, not deportation. So I'm not sure that's "finking".

I'd say trusting the government to do right by the kid requires a level of naive ignorance that is tantamount to negligence at this point.

The protocols and the systems are predatory. This is public knowledge. Teachers and other folks with relative power have the option of subverting the systems, or feeding children into their maws. This teacher made a choice and it was a bad one.
