Teacher Suspended; 7YO Girl Says He Hurt Her When He Threw Her Into Wall

[Whisper]

CLAIRTON, Pa. -- The Clairton City School District said a teacher has been suspended indefinitely after an incident with a student.
Angel Harris told Channel 4 Action News investigative reporter Paul Van Osdol on Monday that her 7-year-old daughter is recovering from physical injuries but is emotionally scarred.
The girl, a first-grader at Clairton Elementary School, said she was fighting with another girl in the library on Friday when a teacher violently grabbed her.
"He started to pull on my arms like this and he threw me hard," the girl said.
"Where did he throw you?" Van Osdol asked.
"Into a wall," the girl said.
"How did that feel when you got thrown against the wall?" Van Osdol asked.
"That hurts," said the girl. She said she still has soreness and bruising in her wrists.
Harris wants charges to be filed against the teacher, who has not been publicly identified during the investigation.
"For a male teacher to grab on a little girl, that just scares me," Harris said.
Superintendent Wayde Killmeyer said he took action as soon as he heard about the allegation.
"The teacher was escorted out, hasn't returned, and we're doing our investigation right now," Killmeyer said.
Van Osdol asked Harris' daughter if she is scared to go back to school.
"Yes," the girl said, "because I don't want to see him (the teacher) again."

Clairton police said they are in the early stages of their investigation

I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't stopped the fight and one of them got hurt.

I'm going to wait for more info on this. Soreness and buises could be a teacher overreaction, malicious conduct on his part, or the result of a kid struggling to stay in the fight.

Thats why I didnt put in Reality Bytes I dont see a teacher in from of everyone just throwing her into wall
I can see grabbing by wrists to control them and separate but I dont believe the teacher threw her into wall
She couldve stumbled when being torn apart
When my kids were small and fought I would grab each by arm or wrist to separate them and hold them out away from each other
Thinking moms looking for a cheque and thats why she went to the media JMHO

When I was in fifth grade we had a teacher slam a kid into a wall and then stand there and choke him. It happened in front of the whole class. Never had to see that teacher again after that.

I once saw the Vice Principal grab a football player by the shirt-front and slam him up against the wall - all the while yelling into his face. That fucking bully never bothered anyone in the halls again and graduated on time. The VP went on many years until retirement.

I have seen some students when I was in school that needed to be slammed into something including me
My homeroom teacher in grade 9 picked me up chair and all and held us up to the wall over a joint
Maybe b/c small town and he had been there forever nothing was said or done and later that year he was smoking joints with us

In high school, a teacher hit my cousin. His dad, my 6ft 5 300lb uncle went to the school and punch the guy square in the face. Knocked his ass clean out. Problem solved. No media or lawsuits required.

My second grade teacher shook me and threw me to the ground. My mom told the principal, then she took me out in the hall and told me as sweetly as can be that I shouldn't tell lies anymore.

When I was in the 4th grade, my teacher Mrs. Juhn got cold clocked by an angry mom. Teacher had it coming. Picked on the wrong kid and the mom showed up the next day. I had front row seat to the main event. Mrs. Juhn didn't stand a chance againts Tila the Hun....Woman was huge and you could tell she was really hood like too.

The mom didn't even walk in the classroom, she summoned for Mrs. Juhn with her hands when she was by our door. So mean ass Mrs. Juhn walks up to the door not expecting to see the Stars and Moon in broad daylight..................and that is when the mom goes off and punches our teacher. We thought she was dead, because she was out cold and laid across the floor. All of us kids got out of our seats to see our dead teacher lol

Good times, good times...

My mom is like 5'6 weighs about 120-130 anyway when I was in 7th grade the principal called my mom and told her I was being suspended for fighting, but I was actually just defending someone else. She came to the school asked me what happened, I told her. So here is my little ass mom in the principals office cussing him out. Then BAM she just punched him right in the face. He was like 6'3, he towered over everyone!

I am withholding judgement on the teacher. He could have just been breaking up the fight and she inadvertently got knocked down.
