Regardless that teacher paid money into the pension system. Taking his pension from him would be stealing.
Wtf
Yeah do that to my kid and your not gonna die
What a psycho.
All I know is if this happened to me as a child, my mother and father would be in prison for murder.
She keeps using that word but I don't think it means what she thinks it means. Why must the reporter resort to saying "appears"?
This isn't a case of someone reporting this crime as the only eye witness. We are all eye witnesses and all or most of times she
said appears the action was easily discerned as fact unless there is a parallel universe confusing present reality. …and there isn't.
Kid probably deserved it but still, we're not supposed to do it
Who cares what type of recognition this dude has as a teacher. He harmed a child. There is absolutely NO excuse for this type of thing to ever happen, especially at school where kids a supposed to feel safe around the adults ‘in charge’.
They oughta give him a chance to square up to the boys in jail. Nasty old coward.
So, all those people, students even, protesting to save his job did their thing before the video came out. I wonder how they all felt AFTER they saw the video?
That's what kids need nowadays there is no discipline at home anymore. The kid was probably being a disrespectful lil jag off. There is 2 sides to a story.
This is not India
Its USA
DeSantis should have been slapped this way!!
I think this teacher is lucky this young man's dad wasn't in the hallway to witness this…. Mr. tough guy slapping around a child. I believe in discipline; this was not discipline, this was abuse.
Eh he shouldn’t have slapped him.
Whats with Indiana teachers? I literally looked up "Indiana teacher gets arrested" and a whole list of cases showed up lol
That instructor needs to get everything revoked. He literally hurt another person nit only that a minor.
All over a hoodie?!?
I would have kicked that teachers A if I had been there. Making sure he didn't commit any more violent Acts against a child. Him getting awards proves to me he is a brown nosed liberal Biden supporter
I bet the teachers a democrat who voted for Biden
This is horrifying. That poor kid. Teens especially can be frustrating, but we owe it to ourselves, Grown-Ups, to model a practice of self-control. There are zero excuses that would justify this bullying behavior by a grown man.Shame he got to take early retirement with benefits. He should have been escorted off campus in cuffs. If a stranger had come on campus and done that, that would be the consequence. A teacher should not get a “hall pass” here he clearly does not deserve.
Bruhh look at this clown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:00
wtf!!!!!
What is there to rally around this monster 😡
Oh he’d be hunted down
Does it really matter what happened before he assaulted the child that is child endangerment and child abuse. No matter what anyone says he assaulted a minor and needs to go to jail. These are the people that you select as teacher of the year shame on you.
Wtf? Why are these locals protecting an abuser?
Looking at the video he faked collpasing when he saw a another teacher.
Fire that child abuser !
They allowed him to retire and they applauded him!!!!!!!!!!!.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I highly doubt this is his first time lossing his tempter like that on a student… He waited till he was around the corner and on one was around and then he quickly struck him..He hit him so hard his head bounced off the cement wall and then collapse…..
6 months to 2 years is all he is getting, and a $10,000 fine…that kid is traumatized now it will follow him his whole life…And people rallied around to support him, nope I don't think so…If you can't stand up for the vulnerable then there is no hope…
Soo he gets a pension !! 🤔
THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENT MUST SUE! SUE! SUE! SUE! THAT'S A CHILD!
He needs prison
I have seen todays high school thugs/students.
That kid must have a step father cause it woulda been game over
