This story began when a local Texarkana news page reported that Brock McGraw, also known as Broderick, was accused of hurting a student in the TISD School District. At first, it wasn’t very clear. The news seemed to come out of nowhere.
Shortly after the post, Brock’s brother, who is on Facebook under the name Easttexas Jap, said the story is one-sided. He claimed his brother loves kids and would never hurt anyone. I can understand this sentiment. In my school, things sometimes happen that lead people to take sides before the whole story is known.
The comments were mixed. Some people insisted Brock is innocent. Others believed the investigation should continue to establish the truth.
Brock works as a behavior support specialist in the Texarkana Independent School District and also coaches Little League football. The news stated that he faces a felony charge for hurting a 13-year-old at the alternative learning center. This incident reportedly happened on November 11, and there is school camera footage, but no official statements have been released yet. I’ve seen similar situations where a story spreads quickly, but no formal comment is issued for days.
His brother reiterated that the post presents only one side and that Brock cares about kids. Many others who know him echoed this sentiment. They have seen him work with kids for years and described him as someone who guides and supports them.
One Facebook user pointed out that every story has two sides before the absolute truth comes out. They said that Brock always advocates for kids and that even teachers or staff shouldn’t have to tolerate abuse like spitting or kicking from students. In my experience, some kids can be very disrespectful, which puts a lot of pressure on the staff.
Another person mentioned knowing Brock since he was young. They said he has spent over twenty years coaching football and helping in schools. That comment felt genuine to me because people who work with kids for that long usually earn a good reputation.
Some comments also highlighted how difficult today’s kids can be. I’ve noticed that as well. Even substitute teachers in my class sometimes get overwhelmed after just one day. So I understand why some people defend him.
As of now, there are no official reports from the authorities or from TISD. Everyone online seems to be waiting to learn what really happened. The case remains unclear, and people are sharing their opinions.
I hope the truth emerges soon because stories like this can impact both the individual involved and the entire community. You may also be interested in: Farwell High School Student Finds His Football Gear Ruined And His Shoes In A Toilet
