The child won’t be prosecuted. Teachers are still citizens, if they are attacked, they still have the same rights you do. Of course, they do so at some risk to their careers. But to say that someone should lose their license is cruel. It sounds like the adult understands her rights as a citizen and is willing to go against a politically correct school system and file charges. I am sure she will be on the adminstrators shit list, don’t you worry about that. They won’t prosecute, but at least the lady made a statement that she doesn’t want to put up with being physcially attacked. The parents should assume some responsiblity for their child’s violent behavior. Why is it that everyone but the parents must assume liability?
As I said, anyone who would try to prosecute a 6-year old for ANYTHING is a complete and utter idiot. And how can you prosecute the parents for an act that the child did? Do you think that the child learned this behavior at home? Perhaps, perhaps not.
Should the child and parents be forced to undergo mandatory counseling? Yes. Should the child be in a mainstream class handled like all the other children? No. But, the article states that, “Nathan’s teacher’s aide, Glenda Schiltz, filed a juvenile fourth degree misdemeanor assault charge against him.” To file criminal charges against a 6-year old is just plain stupid.
I stand by my original statement, she should lose her job and her teaching creds.
