Fall River Reporter: Fall River Police, Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the DA’s office and prosecutors are actively investigating the unattended death of a 14-year-old Fall River boy. According to Gregg Miliote of the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, at around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, Fall River Police received a 911 call regarding an unresponsive male at 107 Green Street. When first responders arrived on scene, they observed the girlfriend of the victim’s father performing CPR on 14-year-old David Almond. David Almond, who suffered from an intellectual disability, was rushed to Charlton Memorial Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
During the course of the investigation into David Almond’s death yesterday, investigators found evidence of daily narcotics abuse by the adults inside the home, and also determined that the deceased’s twin brother, who is also intellectually disabled, was a victim of neglect. The twin brother and a third child who was also residing in the home are now in DCF custody. Last night, investigators took John Michael Almond, 33, and his girlfriend, Jaclyn Marie Coleman, 26, into custody. Both defendants will be arraigned today in Fall River District Court on charges of caretaker neglect of a disabled person and possession of a Class A drug.
Coleman is also being charged at this time with assault and battery on a police officer and the obstruction of justice portion of the state’s witness intimidation statute. She is accused of attempting to destroy a cell phone in the presence of police officers and then assaulting one of the officer’s who attempted to stop her from destroying the device. The caretaker neglect charges relate to the surviving brother and not the deceased.
I couldn’t find any pictures of John Michael Almond, but I’m sure he’s a gem, much like his slampig of a girlfriend who’s top priority as she watched his son die was to destroy evidence and assault police officers. It’s not exactly a hot take to say that I’m disgusted by these people and hope they rot in hell for eternity.
But the fact of the matter is that ratchets are gonna ratchet, and Fall River is FILLED with ratchets. And although this child’s death from starvation is on his failed excuse for parents, it’s indisputable that this kid would be alive right now if the Fall River Public Schools were opened like they should be. He died from STARVATION!! He could’ve gotten a free lunch and breakfast at school every day. His teachers could’ve noticed if he was coming to school neglected, as they would’ve with his special needs brother. DCF could’ve been alerted, they could’ve been properly clothed, fed, and kept safe.
Instead they’re dead because their selfish, cowardly teachers refuse to be anywhere near them. They all deserve to be named and shamed for what they’ve done. This death is equally on the Fall River Educator’s Association, which has fought a return to school every step of the way.
But the plan doesn’t meet with everyone’s approval. Rebecca Cusick, president of the Fall River Educator’s Association, the union representing teachers, said the FREA’s position is that a return to school should start remotely with a transition to the hybrid model once infection rates improve. In July, the FREA surveyed its members twice and both times the majority supported a hybrid plan as a phased-in reopening. Last week, though, said Cusick, a third survey showed what she described as a “clear shift in what the members feel is best” with 70 percent voting for a remote start to the school year with 30 percent supporting a hybrid model.
Their main concern, said Cusick, isn’t with the plan itself, but with the COVID-19 infection rates in Massachusetts and Bristol Country trending upward. “Even with safety precautions in place, our members are fearful of contracting the virus or infecting loved ones who may be vulnerable. They worry about the responsibility of protecting their students,” she said, citing stats showing 100,000 children have tested positive for the virus nationally in the last two weeks of July.
What their “members feel is best.” The members are “fearful of contracting the virus.” The virus with a 99.9% recovery rate that poses no threat to children whatsoever. And because of this ridiculous, unfounded, unscientific fake “fear” they are willing to let vulnerable children from shitty homes DIE under their watch. Killer teachers.
Meanwhile, six months ago she was shaming protesters for having the audacity to wanna live their lives freely, operate their businesses, and not live in fear.
They have their own Facebook group dedicated to finding ways to keep kids out of the schools and in their shithole apartments with their junkie parents so they can slowly die from starvation.
Michela Rose, a music teacher at Morton Middle School and a co-organizer of the group first wanted to make it clear that it’s about keeping everyone safe and healthy this fall. “As a teacher and a member of FREA, I want to say we really miss our students. We would love to be back at work as normal, but it is just not safe enough to do so,” she said. “I love my job, I love my students and I would give anything to be back there. But it is a simply a matter of health and safety. That is very black and white to me – there is no grey area. It is just not safe to go back – yet.”
It’s just not safe for her to go back. Wonder why.
I’d like to ask the 14 year old boy is he feels it’s safe to go back, but he’s dead because Michela doesn’t feel safe teaching him in person.
According to her the other group leader teachers are Chelsea Jean, Nicholas Quigley, and Lauren Meehan.
All of them have the blood of David Almond on their hands. They did this. They killed a child. And they simply don’t care.

This is actually the fault of a failed system! I know these boys family history, they were removed from their mothers custody many years ago, and placed into the state of NY’s care ended in a foster home where they ended up being removed for security abuse placed in an inpatient home with all 3 autistic triplets together, but bc of covid the homes reduced capacity the 2 Brothers weren’t as developmentally delayed as the 3rd so they sought out the biological father 7 months ago….who had not been in the children’s lives for 14 years! The parents choose to home school the boys not bc teachers wouldn’t go back. I blame these filthy parents and the failed social workers who never ONCE! in 7 months checked in them!
teachers are replaceable. hope the ones who are pushing fear die miserable deaths like the ones they’ve caused.
Funny, the same thing applies to Presidents. They are also replaceable, and I hope that Trump dies miserable and alone (I’m sure Ivanka will quietly divorce soon) as karmic punishment for what he’s done to this country.
Michela Rose is so fat…man you have to roll her up in flour and look for the wet spot…and then I bet that snatch stinks under the folds of fat!!
I can’t believe someone would have the nerve to walk down the aisle with the tattooed bovine. I wonder how many cotton plants it took to make the fat sweathogs wedding blanket. Get some mirrors lard ass and maybe take a walk. You seem awful young to be a big, blubbery, blimp. Your husband has no self respect. There’s more to life than trying to eat more than everyone, your poor family. Market Basket, Shaw’s and Stop + Shop say Moo.
Eat more than anyone. Funny as fuck.
Thank you
I am confused. Fall River is in school and if you are a special needs student school is available every day. Fully remote is a parent’s choice. This article is totally fiction.
Therein lies part of the problem – you shouldn’t give parents the choice – education is essential and “remote learning” is even more useless for IEP students than it already is for typical ones. With exceptions for legitimate health issues, there should be no choice, just like teachers should have no choice. There will always be people who “feel” unsafe but irrational fears shouldn’t be the primary driver of policy.
But the article says teacher choosing. The entire state made districts offer the choice. The state. So where’s the article about the governor? Seriously. Saying that teachers and the union have any control whether or not the state offers remote learning is a stretch.
Ultimately it is the teachers’ faults – not all teachers (maybe not even the majority of them), but DEFINITELY ones like the insufferable hypocrites featured in this article. If not for these people being very vocal about their cowardice in the face of a relatively mild virus, unions wouldn’t feel the pressure to advocate for remote learning. And if not for the unions pressuring the towns and the states for remote learning, we wouldn’t have kids staying home. Don’t get me wrong though – there are plenty of cowardly parents swaying the court of public opinion too, as well as the typical Massachusetts liberals pushing to sacrifice children’s needs for the sake of getting the election results they want.
You need to put a warning disturbing content alert on posts like these. Here I was eating dinner after a long day of work then I saw the photo of that disgusting orca in a wedding dress and vomited all over the place! I went to get the bleach so I could dump the whole jug in my eyes but decided against it because I know that awful hippo is seared into my brain.
People like you make me think that we need to bring back eugenics.
I don’t really want you breeding and producing more little ghettolings.
Ahrrrg, hand me the harpoon!
Biddeman!
Fetch my elephant gun.
BIDDEMAN!!!
I give TB credit, He puts out stuff most others couldn’t be bothered with. I’m sorry it was to late for the kid, but maybe it will make someone else think about doing the right thing instead of the easy thing. Sorry to interrupt, please continue bashing everyone for everything.
Dear Massachusetts teachers union members, I hope you are all replaced by remote learning when this is over by either foreign workers or artificial intelligence. You get summers off, weekends, holidays, half days, snow cancelations, professional days and election days. Your budget is untouchable by finance committees and you liberal scum outnumber all municipal union workers put together (people who actually work). Thanks personally for taking away my blue cross and having the audacity to complain about the subpar insurance package you agreed to.
If you want teachers to work more talk to your local rep. Kids go to school based on what the State mandates. If it’s so easy, go get a Master’s degree and walk the line bigmouth, after this year there will be tons of openings thanks to jackdouches like you.
Its only your union dues that keep you in your hack job.
Pay all those election contributions to other parasites that protect your cushy jobs, pensions and medical. You’ll be the first to hold up children like hostages. There are plenty of great teachers but you are not in that group. Hope you all come down with acute dysentery at your next outing!
I hope you and your little shitling children get covid, just like Trump.
Rest assured that when it happens to YOU, they won’t take you to Walter Reed and give you the best healthcare in the world, lol. I wonder what thoughts will go through your head when your kids are crying, “Daddy, I’m scared! Make it stop!” And all you can do is silently think, “I’m scared, too”, but you’ll try to keep up a brave face for them.
But when your wife’s condition deteriorates, what will you say to them? Are your kids old enough to understand the concept of death? That will be QUITE a conversation. And you’ll be in a such a terrible position, too. It’s obvious that you’re the kind of angry drunk father who normally leaves the raising of the kids to his wife. With her out of the picture, you’ll be so far out of your depth.
But, hey, at least you’ll save on the food bills once she’s gone, so that’s something.
Take that back you flaming asshole.
If you refuse to apologize may the fleas of 1000 camels infest your nose.
A masters degree today is equivalent to a high school education from 50 years ago, you dildo pilot.
So True! They have dumbed things down across the Board.
Starting in Elementary school all the way through Graduate school. I have a MBA and two Bachelor’s degrees I was 16 when I started my first semester in college ( I would tell Any gifted student given the opportunity to skip ahead in High school Not to do it, I Missed So Much by being in a rush. Your only a kid once Don’t squander it. You can’t Ever go back to being carefree and enjoying your teen years)
But I digress the point is the curriculum my kids have in 9th grade is the equivalent to what I had in 4th grade and the work I have helped my friend in her 2nd semester of college with is at Best Sophomore year High school and I don’t mean Honors classes just Normal high school curriculum.
There are some great Teachers out there who truly love what they do and go above and beyond to teach and make it interesting, sadly they are far and few between.
Public schools, Tenure and Teachers unions are Dumbing Down students and Now they don’t want to go back to work and put in even the half-assed efforts they did prior to the plandemic!
Shame On Everyone of them that hides behind this Virus!
They Should all be deprived of Food, Neglected, abused and die a Slow, painful, lonely death like this poor little child suffered!!
Yeah because becoming a doctor, physician assistant, registered nurse, nurse practitioner is easy too. Try watching people die everyday. Boo hoo you have to take care of a couple kiddos with stuffy noses?? Stop being such a pussy and go back to work COVID isn’t going away
I can’t believe you actually had the balls to say that.
A “master’s degree?” HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Buddy, there is nothing easier in the world to get than a Master’s Degree in any subject under planet earth except the hard sciences, and of all those completely bullshit MAs, the one in “education” is even easier than the rest to obtain. Hell, a BA in education means dick. If you can’t get an MA in education, it’s because you’re a mouth breather who hasn’t yet figured out you can breathe through your nose as well.
Go home and sleep it off, punchy. You’re drunk.
Don’t forget they contribute next to nothing to their health insurance, and the automatic pay increases as long as they have a pulse.
To the overweight just-married woman with the arm tattoo… it didn’t work. We still notice everything you hate about yourself.
How is this the teachers’ fault? When did we stop holding parents accountable? Put down the handy cane, Turts, you’re overreaching.
Dear Jaclyn,
Nice “COURAGE” tat ya got there, despite having no idea what the word means as evident by your actions.
Maybe if someone ripped that arm off at the elbow and beat you to death with that tat, maybe it would eventually sink in.
But I kinda doubt it. Rot, bitch.
While the boy’s death is tragic, what’s more important to the left is Covid be milked and sensationalized long enough to justify mail in ballots, giving Biden a fighting chance to win.
But…
The fallout from the Covid milking which includes senseless deaths like this may have been all for nothing, as the answer to “where’s Hunter?” appears to be found on the laptop from hell
Now that we’re officially getting rid of Trump in January, can we get rid of YOU at the same time?
Y’know, like a two-for-one deal? I’d love to ship you out to Russia; I bet they’d welcome you with open arms.
Don’t DCF do welfare checks on kids like this? I totally agree with if he was attending some sort of school he might be alive today. The teachers or even the school nurse would have reported the condition he was in to DCF or even the Police. They should BOTH be charged with manslaughter. I bet they were getting high on his medication.
Chick with the blue shirt is hot.
love the fat wrists
roll her in flour and aim for the wet spot
any port in a storm!
doesn’t a pineapple on your shirt mean you’re a swinger?
Hot fire take i fuckin love it
Boy does Aidan hate having to take care of his own crotch fruit all day.
“Lolz,” how insightful. Maybe, he actually wants them to have a good education and socialize with fellow students. Something, I presume from your idiotic title, you never received.
Right??? That exactly what I’ve been thinking ever since this bullshit started. Like how is it the school’s fault the kid died because of their parents? Isn’t it the parents job to make sure the kids don’t die? I think it’s just selfish to put the kids back in school when there’s clearly been several outbreaks already and it’s only October.
it takes a village
anyone want to fuck?
If you have a “courage” tattoo, that means someone has used you as a punching bag or your uncle raped you a shit load.
You get dumber each day with this shit.
God forbid parents do some parenting.
Leave it to you to turn shitty parenting into an issue with the school.
Remember, though, when he was a teacher it was the parents’ fault if kids didnt learn.
It is an issue with the school and here is why: first, it’s a given that there are a lot of shitty parents out there. The cold hard reality is that for some kids, the only meal(s) they receive on any given day are what they receive at school. Teachers are required to report if they believe any students are being abused/neglected at home. In an instance like this, it would’ve saved the kid’s life. DCF would’ve been involved earlier. Here is the other issue: with COVID19, you have a lot of adults falling into depression and addictions. Who gets hurt? Clearly the kids that are abused/neglected with no safeguard. You may say ‘well, hey, that’s fine because it isn’t anyone else’s responsibility to raise another’s child.’ And that’s a valid point – but you also have to recognize that it isn’t a little kid’s fault he/she is neglected or abused. Because of remote learning this year, hundreds of thousands of instances of child abuse and neglect will go unreported, which at the end of the day, hurts kids. The MTA needs to be better. If we as a society choose to publicly fund education and prioritize it, then we also need to recognize that these people serve a critical function and need to be present for in person learning.
I totally agree with everything you say. I don’t agree with the teachers union. They are paid to teach, in school, not pajamas.
However, your facts are wrong as the students who have special needs in Fall River are in school right now and the general population is in hybrid or remote.
The teachers who are supposed to teaching this student should be held accountable as the school administrators for not reporting he was not in school. These parents should be charged with murder.
A 99.9% recovery rate would mean 200,000,000 Americans have already had covid.
No, you did not have it last Thanksgiving when you had a bad head cold.
Unless he’s just referring to people under the age of 18. In which case the math is 100%
Dipshit under obumma over 61million people got the pig flu and we didnt shut down the schools put people on house arrest or anything else of the sort. Youre a demokkkratic nitwitt now go sit in the corner and thing about how much of a retard you are.
Jewish country America is very sad. We need a america first president and Congress, the jew RBG was a good start.
Hey man, you seem pretty cool. If we go back to quarantine, do you want to hang out, maybe check out my mannequin collection and I check out yours?
Cool story, bro.
Maybe they’ll tell it at your grandmother’s funeral after she dies of covid. You never know.
member of FREA, more like FUPA
TBS, are you fucking serious! You’re slamming schools over ratchet parental neglect! I’m with you along with so many other parents concerning schools reopening. But for the love of God, why would you come to such a conclusion on an innocent child that has passed on without being given a solid chance at life. You need to stop and think before expressing the lowest, shitty form of so called “journalism” and use common fucking sense in future reporting.
He’s not a reporter and he doesnt care about this kid. He’s just a weeping ahole who’s really mad he can’t dump his kid off somewhere else while he blogs about whatever Mike Gaffney is posting on Facebook.
He’s saying if the kid had to attend to school someone would have noticed something was wrong physically with him. If he was not attending someone would have done a wellness check. Not hard to understand.
Right. Uncle Turtleboy is pretending to care about this kid because he’s mad he has to take care of his own kid when he could be “working.”
mike’s wife has new plastic tits
I say seat her on a plane next to Gropey Baker then have Gropey deliver her to my hotel 9nce he gets the low tide smell off her snatch.
Hey Rebecca I got a question, are black lives matter protesters exempt? You know the “peaceful protesters ” looting and rioting? Are they a danger spreading the commie cold too? No? Ok just wondering.
