years old now this video went
unrecognized for months until last week
I noticed a crazy spike in comments and
they were all talking about a band
teacher that's my band director bro dude

School literally my band teacher this is
our local band director he's awful my
son and I always knew something was not
right with him this comment says say Mr

our band teacher without knowing it this
man in the video was identified as Ryan
henigman now in the video he claimed he

actually lives in Missouri has a wife
and three kids so the day I started
getting all of those comments on the
YouTube video people were sending me
links to articles Like This One Republic
high band director resigns hours after
allegations of inappropriate behavior as
you can see this is him right here in
this article they talk about the
director of communications sending out
an entire email to the district about
this situation this morning Mr henigman
was placed on administrative leave and
an investigation was launched
immediately after a video surfaced
alleging inappropriate online conduct
the investigation was conducted by the
school police the district was notified
about the video by a parent now there
are so many articles on this and I find
this very interesting because only 4
hours after the comments started
flooding in there was already six
articles written on this as soon as he
resigned from his job there were six
articles written if you look up Republic
High School band director look how many
articles there are it's kind of
ridiculous the entire School District
actually released a statement it's
basically saying that he was forced to
resign from his job this even made the
Ozark's first news which is one of the
biggest news stations in Missouri let's
watch this this is his lawyer on the
news speaking for him he did not commit
any offense
based on that clip federal or state
however had they continued to speak they
were certainly going in that direction a
local attorney tells color 10 Republic
High's School band director likely did
not commit a crime I know a lot of
people actually seen this and they were
saying oh why are they defending him it
actually is true this man did not commit
a crime Ashley's not actually a minor
she's 20 years old I got to be careful
what I say here so I do not get sued if
we take a look back at the YouTube video
we could see as soon as I came in and
caught him in 4k he
skipped in the YouTube video I wrote 2
minutes later which was actually an hour
and a half later okay no as you can see
we run into him again he was on omigle
at 3:00 a.m. for over an hour and a half
which leads me to think this is not his
first time on there he has a wife and
kids why is he on Omegle at 3:00 a.m.
and let's take a close look at his face
when Ashley says I'm 15 I'm 15 by the
way I just want to let you know okay
truth did he completely disregarded that
and went back to to his original
question Truth or Dare anyways let's
keep watching the news Ryan Hedman is
out of a job tonight after the district
says it it appears he was featured on a
popular YouTube channel focused on
exposing potential editors color 10's
Joshua P is live in Republic I'm not
going to lie when I first seen this I
thought that was Jay I kind of got
scared he doesn't see a crime being
committed but he understands why hman is
no longer employed by Republic high
school I want to make this clear he did
not get fired he resigned which means he
can actually just go get another job
after it appears he was featured in a
popular YouTube channel that tries to
expose possible in the video the man who
appears to be henigman asks a girl to
play Truth or Dare and the girl tells
him they have my YouTube channel on the
news the man dares the girl to show off
her legs before I don't know why they
zoomed in on my face when they said the
man dared the girl to show her legs like
I said it someone else enters the frame
confronting the man had he at any point
said will you expose your or anything
like that then we get into I don't know
why his own lawyer said that I thought
your lawyer was supposed to protect you
he just came up with a hypothetical
situation that did not happen that right
there made him look bad they have the
executive director of The District the
single best thing that a parent can do
to help protect their child is really
form a conversation and a trust-based
relationship with their
child you can speak the school district
says the girl in the video is not a
republic student now after this was
released on the news I got tons of
emails DMS and messages from parents I
actually asked one of the mothers for an
interview she did not want to have her
face or voice on camera so she wrote out
a bunch of messages and I'm going to
read them now obviously I will blur all
her personal information for privacy
reasons let's read what she had to say
she started off by saying okay so I'm
going to send you the emails from before
he actually came to our school district
my son was in ban from 6th to 8th grade
when our old band director decided to
retire my son decided he wanted to do
football instead said then she said
these emails really rubbed me the wrong
way she provided four or five
screenshots from Ryan henigman which I
will not show for privacy reasons but I
can say they were a little bit off in
the emails he kept asking why is your
kid leaving the band class repeatedly
asking over and over again so his first
order of business was to take us all to
Disney however he failed our marching
band kids terribly we actually found out
one of the last competitions that he
purposely put the kids into one they
wouldn't even get plac in so that they
could get experience that's harsh my son
decided to do band after our family and
friends convinced him to give Mr h a try
but Mr H killed any passion he had left
my son called me Thursday the 22nd
shortly after he got out of school and
told me about Mr H being escorted out of
the school because of a video then he
sent me your video so he literally got
escorted out of the school after that
video started surfacing around she goes
on to send me the emails that she got
sent basically all the parents got sent
the resignation letter saying that we no
longer work with this man and have
nothing to do with him when Mr H started
there were a total of three band
instructors including him the other two
had been there for years I just recently
found out right before the band season
started for the summer one of them quit
out of the blue it may not be any
correlation but I just thought it was
interesting sorry I know this is a lot
I've got kids that age from 20 to 3 and
1/2 months old I've had to sit in
courtrooms several times because of sick
pain with my oldest this is all too
close to home not to mention our school
district just lost a very influential
member of our community you can look him
up Jason Shaw oh my God I never looked
up what she told me to look up I'm just
seeing this now wait this is kind of
crazy Former Republic High School
District bus driver and Foundation
founder faces allegations of misconduct
according to police this is the same
high school that Ryan henigman worked at
December 12th 2023 founder of a
well-known Republic nonprofit who is
also a bus driver now under
investigation inappropriate contact with
Elizabeth Van Mitri is live in Republic
tonight what that's Jason Shaw Tristan
hope foundation's founder speaking with
KY3 last year Monday we learned Shaw
resigned the board posted this on social
media saying we as a board take all
inappropriate behavior seriously and our
priority is the so apparently a bus
driver from the same school district
resigned from his job due to allegations
School leaders say they were aware of an
appropriate communication by an employee
and said after a thorough investigation
he was termina this is insane literally
within 6 months there has been two
teachers that have been caught for
something like this at the same school
now it all makes sends to me why this
lady told me that it didn't sit right
with her then the next day she sends me
a bunch of screenshots she said also
there are a couple people defending Mr h
on some local Facebook groups now
obviously I'm not going to show these
people attention but I did see a
Facebook post where there were hundreds
of people trying to defend him now I
actually interviewed a former student on
the phone he told me that after Mr head
man was escorted out of the school his
wife was seen leaving the school
crying how did you find out about this
found this out from my brother who is
still a part of band do you know how the
story spread around this school uh what
happened is that one band student he was
on he was just scrolling on YouTube when
he found your video he then shared it
with uh my brother and then they kind of
like just showed more students until
like it just kept spreading around and
eventually someone showed it to the
principal have you ever thought anything
was off with him I mean not like off in
the sense of like something like this MH
I I just never really liked him he just
really like strict with the rules and
just he has a wife who I think teaches
biology or just something in the science
department and I heard from my brother
that uh she left the school he also has
three kids I forgot how old they were
but he has three kid I also heard he
resigned so technically he could just go
get a new job yeah but like since the
video I think it'll be really hard for
him to get another job cuz I think the
police are investigating it more he got
a call in the middle of first hour and
then he just left and didn't show up so
I'm assuming this happened like in the
morning so when did your brother start
to spread the video around it was a
couple weeks ago it was I think 2 or 3
weeks it's been like going around for 2
to 3 weeks yeah at first they didn't
think it was actually him but they kind
of notice like the gestures that he does
like for example whenever he says okay
he always does the blink and small nod
and you can see that in the video now
honestly all I feel bad for here is the
wife cuz she had to find out this way
now the same news station that aired the
entire story emailed me and they wanted
an interview with me I'll play some of
the important Clips right here and so
how do you go about making these videos
what's your guys's process so my
girlfriend who's 20 years old she will
sit down and she will act like she's 14
or 15 and almost every time that she
would come across an older man the
conversation would be creepy within 3
minutes and then I usually come in
sometimes they'll argue back but most
times they just Skip and get off the
screen that's important work what you're
doing I mean even if it's just to kind
of like tell these guys hey like stop
being a creep and how old are you by the
way I'm 19 years old with your recent
video with Ryan henigman did that video
particularly stand out to you when did
it start to kind of go viral no it
actually didn't go viral it's one of the
least viewed videos on my YouTube
channel why do you feel making these
videos is important I figured I'd use my
influence to actually spread awareness
because a lot of people don't realize
how many there actually are is this
something that you will continue doing
honestly I'm not sure because I haven't
made one in about 3 months I've been
threatened people try to find my address
specifically the people who I catch cuz
they have honestly nothing to lose after
they've been exposed but I hired
full-time security
24/7 I'm not kidding I did not know that
that was a real person that's crazy
scared me a little not going to lie now
yeah this is just all insane to me I
can't believe this happened happened I
just feel bad for his family he has
three kids and a wife and he threw it
all away I guess he's still currently
under investigation I don't want to keep
making these serious videos I want to
make you guys laugh but unfortunately
these situations cannot just go over my
head anyways please leave a like
subscribe Banger videos real soon
