A shocking video circulating among students at Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning (WCLL) shows a kindergarten student being pressured into vaping in a school bathroom while older students filmed the incident.
The boy's mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, is demanding answers from WCLL and the school district, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), fearing for the safety of her child, who is enrolled in the school's special education program.
@tmj4news A video taken earlier this month showing a K5 student being forced to vape in a school bathroom has been circling throughout Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning (WCLL) school, according to parents. TMJ4 News first found out about this story after a teacher at WCLL reached out to Reporter Jenna Rae. Rae then got connected with the child's mother, who talked exclusively with TMJ4.

The mother first learned about the incident when her daughter and niece informed her of the video.
"I was like, 'get the video,'" she told TMJ4 News in an exclusive interview. "Why was my son in the bathroom unattended? He don't know better, and to add on top of that, he's special ed. He doesn't really know what's what," she said, emphasizing a need for diligence in child supervision.
In response, MPS issued a statement assuring that the district is taking "all appropriate steps" to address the incident and review policies to prevent similar situations. However, the mother remains deeply concerned.
"When I let my kids walk in that door, ain't no telling what's gonna happen to them," she said. "I don't have no type of peace of mind when they at school."
Parents are left questioning the school's supervision policies and whether enough is being done to protect vulnerable students from bullying and dangerous peer pressure.
