HAPPENING NOW: DOJ says in court (during a fortitously timed Proud Boys hearing) that it anticipates the Jan. 6 select committee releasing all 1,000 witness transcripts in September, along with its final report.

That could occur during or right around the timing if the Proud Boys trial, which is slated to begin in August, and both sides in the case are concerned about what affect this could have on their timing.

DOJ says it still hasn't received any of the Jan. 6 committee's transcripts despite ongoing talks with the select committee.

And now DOJ gives a clue about why the committee might not want to hand over transcripts: When it gets them, DOJ says it will provide those transcripts to defense attorneys as part of its discovery obligations.

Texas school officials had been monitoring students' social media prior to the deadly shooting in Uvalde Tuesday, it has been revealed - but still failed to pick up on concerning posts from the teenage gunman in the days leading up to the tragedy.

 

As an 18th birthday present to himself earlier this month, now-deceased suspect Salvador Ramos bought two AR-style rifles and paraded them on social media - including in ominous messages sent hours before the killing started.

 

The teen's photo-op also saw him share an image to his since-scrubbed Instagram account, of him cradling the magazine of a rifle on his lap.

The ensuing massacre - the deadliest at a US elementary school since the infamous 2012 Sandy Hook shooting - left 19 students aged under 11 and two adults at Uvalde Elementary dead. Ramos also reportedly shot his 66-year-old grandmother before embarking on the killing spree.

 

Now, Uvalde School officials say they had been monitoring its students' social media pages using an advanced AI-based service called Social Sentinel, designed to recognize signals of potential harm found in digital conversations.

 

The district revealed Monday it had been using the platform 'to monitor all social media with a connection to Uvalde as a measure to identify any possible threats that might be made against students and or staff within the school district.'

 

Salvador Ramos, 18, from Uvalde, fatally shot 19 children and two adults in Tuesday's shooting. Ramos shared photos of guns to social media in the days leading up to the massacre

 

This photo of two AR15-style rifles appeared on Ramos' Instagram account just three days before the massacre at Robb Elementary school. He then shared it in a tagged post hours before the shooting

 

The teen also shared an image to Instagram of him holding the magazine of a rifle. His account was taken down shortly after Governor Greg Abbott confirmed his name

 

According to its creators, the service - powered by advanced linguistics technology - scans and analyzes digital content to pick out and flag potential safety and security risks, as well as mental health and social and emotional concerns.

 

The software scans selected digital content - in this case, thousands of students' social media accounts - and identifies language that fit those criteria.

Social Sentinel is a linguistics technology service used by the Uvalde School District that tracks users' social media activity, flagging it if it finds the content to be concerning.

 

The company primarily analyzes profiles of students, and seek 'to improve school violence prevention and awareness' with the tech, which is used by districts across the country.

 

According to its creators, the service - powered by advanced linguistics technology - scans and analyzes digital content to pick out and flag potential safety and security risks, as well as mental health and social and emotional concerns.

The powerful tech is designed to then alerts leaders if a community member is showing signs of crisis, so they can intervene before an incident occurs.

 

The service scans threatening images, along with its associated text, before determining whether it is something community leaders should look into.

 

It is not immediately clear why the technology failed to flag gunman Salvador Ramos' posts, which contained photos of guns and ammo used in Tuesday's attack - the worst school shooting in a decade.

The service also scans threatening images, along with its associated text, before determining whether it is something community leaders should look into.

 

However, in this particular instance, the technology fell short - failing to spot Ramos' objectively concerning posts and notify district officials.

 

It is not immediately clear why the technology failed to flag Ramos' posts. DailyMail.com reached out to Social Sentinel and Uvalde district staffers for comment on the software's apparent failure Wednesday morning, but did not immediately hear back.

Students and parents also failed to spot the post from the troubled student, who was described as a bullied loner who slowly dropped out of school due to teasing about his lisp, habit of wearing eyeliner, clothes and his family's poverty

 

Uvalde district policy encourages '[s]tudents, parents, staff, and community members are encouraged to share information that is deemed troubling' with the district using a reporting system' so that it can 'take appropriate action.'

 

Those who knew Ramos or his relatives say he was a 'nice' but 'quiet' boy who grew increasingly violent as he became older, amid relentless bullying both in school and online.

 

Santos Valdez told the Washington Post that he used to be friends with Ramos and played online shooter games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty with him, until the pair stopped talking as Ramos's behaviour 'deteriorated.'

 

Valdez said Ramos had showed up to the park one time with cuts all over his face, initially claiming he was scratched by a cat before admitting that he did it to himself with a knife.

 

Stephen Garcia, who considered himself Ramos’s best friend in eighth grade, said he was 'bullied by a lot of people' including for over a photo of himself wearing eyeliner which led to 'gay' taunts. Garcia said Ramos dropped out of school when he moved away to another part of the state, and the two had lost touch.

Others confirmed that Ramos had stopped attending classes, and did not intend to take part in graduation this summer. Instead, he got a job at a local Wendy's restaurant.

 

A colleague there described Ramos has having an aggressive streak. She told the Daily Beast he walked around with a pair of boxing gloves at the park, asking people to fight him and filming it. He also menaced co-workers, asking one of the cooks: 'Do you know who I am?'

 

'He would be very rude towards the girls sometimes… and he would also send inappropriate texts to the ladies,' the former colleague said, asking for her name not to be used.

 

A teenage acquaintance of Ramos, who lives in Los Angeles and claims to barely know him, posted screenshots of messages he sent her early Tuesday after tagging her in a picture of his rifles. In them, he said he wanted to share a 'lil secret' and urged her to respond to him. The conversation ended before Ramos revealed his secret.

Navigate360 Acquires Social Sentinel to Further Equip Education and Business Leaders with Tools to Keep Their Communities Safe

Navigate360 adds to its robust portfolio addressing the full spectrum of safety

 

RICHFIELD, Ohio, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Navigate360 has announced the acquisition of Social Sentinel, a linguistics technology company that scans and analyzes digital content to identify potential safety and security threats as well as mental health and social and emotional signals. By incorporating Social Sentinel into the Navigate360 umbrella, leaders in the education and business spheres now benefit from another powerful tool designed to help keep their students and employees safe.

 

Social Sentinel is the leading linguistics and AI-based software solution designed to recognize signals of potential harm found in digital conversations such as organization-owned emails and public social media posts. The platform scans selected digital content and identifies language that may indicate the research, planning and implementation of an act of violence or harm, as well as potentially dire mental health issues. This powerful technology alerts leaders if a community member is showing signs of crisis so they can intervene before an incident occurs. All the while, respecting Constitutional rights to privacy, freedom of speech and the right to assemble.

 

The system will complement Navigate360's current tip reporting and management software and behavioral threat assessment solutions, as well as its eLearning materials that cater to the spectrum of safety — from prevention to recovery.

 

"Nearly 85% of teenagers have access to cell phones or tablets that enable them to enter a complex world of interactions that adults sometimes need a lot of decoding to understand. All too often, in the days before a tragedy, there were warning signs that went unnoticed by those capable of intervening," said Navigate360 JP Guilbault. "We cannot simply put the burden on teachers and administrators to identify what they cannot see. We must use advanced tools and technology like Social Sentinel to help leaders identify and respond appropriately to these warning signs to keep our communities safe."

 

Added Social Sentinel's founder, Dr. Gary Margolis, "We could not be more excited to join the Navigate360 team. In coming together, we'll be able to further expand upon our shared commitment to creating safer communities and protecting our children. Within Navigate360's values-driven approach, I'm thrilled that Social Sentinel will continue to grow and create safe spaces for individuals to learn, work and gather."

 

The acquisition of Social Sentinel further positions Navigate360 as the nation's leader in safety solutions for schools and businesses. To date, Navigate360 helps keep more than 80,000 schools and businesses across the country safe, allowing its members to grow and thrive. The addition of Social Sentinel into Navigate360's offerings will enhance customers' entire safety operations and help prevent incidents before they occur.
