15-year-old student allegedly bashes HS staffer in head with laptop; victim, 54, hospitalized, has trouble breathing



A 15-year-old student allegedly hit a high school staff member in the head with a laptop — and the victim, 54, was hospitalized and reportedly had trouble breathing.

The incident took place last Monday at Northwest High School in Germantown, Maryland, which is part of Montgomery County Schools, WTTG-TV reported.

'He'll probably get in-school detention followed by a transfer to another school.'

Principal Scott E. Smith confirmed the incident in a letter to families and staff, the station said, adding that emergency services were called to the scene, and the Montgomery County Police Department was investigating.

The staff member was taken to a hospital for treatment, district's spokesperson Liliana López told WTTG.

"We can confirm that a student struck and injured a staff member," López said in a statement, according to the station. "The staff member was transported to the hospital by emergency services."

Citing police radio transmissions, MoCo360 reported that the student allegedly hit the staff member in the head with a laptop.

The dispatcher said the staff member — a 54-year-old man — was conscious but having trouble breathing after the alleged assault, the outlet added.

MoCo360, citing radio transmissions, said the 15-year-old student in question was taken to the school’s office and was with the school’s security staff following the alleged incident.

“It is important to note that any student who chooses to commit an act of violence will be subject to progressive discipline in alignment with the MCPS Code of Conduct up to possible expulsion," Smith wrote in his letter, according to the outlet. "Police will determine whether criminal charges may apply."

How are observers reacting?

As you might expect, some observers on various Facebook posts from news sites weren't thrilled with the incident:

  • "He'll probably get in-school detention followed by a transfer to another school," one commenter wrote.
  • "Sue the parents," another commenter said.
  • "Oh, how awful," another commenter reacted. "I hope the teacher/staff member is okay, and that the student is removed from the school."

'If I can't perform abortions ... I will not stay in Wisconsin': Med student who seems to back full-term abortions sounds off



A student from the Medical College of Wisconsin who apparently supports full-term abortions said during a public hearing that if she can't get abortion training in the state and if she can't perform abortions in the state, then she would leave Wisconsin.

What are the details?

Madalynn Welch told Wisconsin lawmakers Monday that a proposed state ban on abortions after 14 weeks would discourage people from becoming licensed OB-GYN practitioners in Wisconsin, Fox News reported.

"I think abortion should be unrestrictive," Welch said, according to the cable news network. "And I think when somebody finds out in pregnancy when — or how far along that they are when someone finds out, they should be able to get an abortion if they want to. And for some people, that is full term."

Following her "full term" utterance, a number of people in the room appeared to express audible discomfort.

After a cut in the video, the student added that "if I can't get abortion training here, if I can't perform abortions in my career, I will not stay in Wisconsin. And a lot of my colleagues who are on the same track agree."

Fox News said Welch and the Medical College of Wisconsin did not return its request for comment.

How are folks reacting?

Quite a few social media commenters were outraged by the student's opinions on abortion:

"She just said she would abort a FULL TERM fully developed human baby. A baby that can absolutely live outside of the mothers womb. A baby deserving of life. SICK," activist Scarlett Johnson wrote. "I am ashamed for her. If that isn’t murder, what is? I pray she leaves Wisconsin and never comes back."

"She is admitting, and proud of it, that she would commit infanticide. Murder," another commenter stated. "She needs to be permanently barred from practicing medicine everywhere. Unspeakable evil."

"Spooky. Has she ever held a newborn? How can you look at a baby and think it is okay to cut its spinal cord and dismember it right before it was born?" another user asked. "Babies are a blessing. We need to stop treating them like they are a curse."

"She distills her entire medical calling to being able to murder at will," another commenter said. "Absolutely fallen world we live in."

Cops arrest 26-year-old former HS teacher, accuse her of sexual intercourse with male student



Authorities arrested a 26-year-old former teacher of an Arkansas high school and accused her of engaging in sexual intercourse with a male student.

What are the details?

The Cross County Sheriff's Office said Kara Lee, formerly of Cross County High School in Cherry Valley, was arrested in connection with incidents that occurred last November and December. It isn't clear when Lee's employment ended.

The sheriff's office added that the Crimes Against Children Division received a call, after which an investigation was launched "finding that Lee had inappropriate physical touching and sexual intercourse with a male student. This investigation is ongoing."

A jail record indicates Lee was charged with three counts of first-degree sexual assault and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Lee was booked at 10 a.m. Thursday and released about two hours later, the jail record also says.

Anything else?

A school district news item posted over a year ago introduced Lee as a new teacher of high school resource math and a recent graduate of Arkansas State University with a degree in psychology.

“Cross County will always be home, and I’m excited to be a Thunderbird again!” Lee is quoted as remarking in the news entry.

The entry adds that Lee "enjoys horseback riding, barrel racing, hiking, kayaking, and field testing with her dog Bru. She is excited for her first year teaching, and is looking forward to meeting everyone."

How are folks reacting?

A Yahoo News story on the arrest has received more than 1,000 comments and counting since it was posted Thursday:

  • "Seems like [there are] few men these days in the news for same crime," one commenter wrote. "As long as women know they get 30 days in the slammer instead of 30 years like a man expect many more 'hot for teacher' stories in the news."
  • "It's called rape. Why make it sound more innocent?" another commenter asked. "They have no problem using that word when the gender is reversed."
  • "Don't just take the word of the kid," another commenter cautioned. "Kids lie, and lives get ruined trying to get back or rid of the teacher. What issues does he have with the teacher? I'm very suspicious since this has happen[ed] to 2 people I know who ended up in jail on hearsay."

Ed Department Finally Opens Investigation Into Wisconsin School Over Transgender Shower Incident

Freshman girls told authorities that a transgender-identified 18-year-old male student showered naked in front of them.

Jewish boy with autism returned from school with swastika carved into his skin, mother says; FBI 'prepared to investigate'



The FBI is prepared to investigate after a woman said her Jewish son with autism came home from school with a swastika carved into his back, NBC news reported Saturday.

"We are aware of the incident and are in regular contact with local authorities. If during the local investigation, information comes to light of a potential federal civil rights violation, the FBI is prepared to investigate," the agency said in a statement acquired by the outlet.

The mother, who asked to remain anonymous, says her 17-year-old is a senior at Clark High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is nonverbal, has a full time attendant while at school, and uses a service dog. COL Live reported.

"My son is the only student I know of who wears a kippah at the school," the boy's mother told the outlet.

A kippah, sometimes called a yarmulke or skullcap, is a headcovering Jewish people wear as a sign of respect and reference for God.

The mother noticed the hateful symbol carved or scratched into the skin of her son's back March 9. She notified the school that evening and filed a report with the Clark County School District Police March 13. She has since pulled him out of school, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

The boy's attendant reportedly told the mother than "nothing happened at school." The mother says there is no video evidence because the school does not allow video cameras in classrooms, locker rooms, or bathrooms, COL Live also reported.

Jolie Brislin, executive director of the Anti Defamation League of Nevada told KTNV the incident was "probably one of the most egregious [she had] seen."

"And it's not only because the student was targeted because of their identifiable faith, but also because of the vulnerability due to his disability."

ADL of Nevada is in close contact with the parents, the school, and law enforcement, Brislin said in a statement. She added that the organization was partnering with Jewish Nevada and Secure Community Network to provide the school with antisemitism education.

A statement from the school said police investigated the incident, but found no evidence that shed light on the origin of the injuries, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The statement said the investigation included interviews with staff and review of camera footage.

"The Israeli-American Council was appalled to learn that a Jewish teen may have been targeted in such an inhumane antisemitic attack," said Shoham Nicolet, IAC's co-founder and CEO, in a statement acquired by LVRJ.

"We urge authorities to investigate this incident to the fullest."

Massive student savagely knocks teacher unconscious, then stomps and punches her unresponsive body because she took away his Nintendo Switch, deputies say



A massive student brutalized a teacher's aide Tuesday in an unprovoked attack at Matanzas High School in Palm Coast, Florida, leaving the woman unconscious and severely injured. His apparent reason for jeopardizing the woman's life: She had prevented him from playing video games in class.

According to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, FCSO School Resource Deputies at the school were alerted to the brutal assault on a paraprofessional by a 6'6", 270-pound student.

The student told deputies that he was upset that the victim had taken his Nintendo Switch away from him during class. WTLV-TV reported that the student also told officials that he would "beat her up" any time she tried to take his game.

The paraprofessional's attempt to spare the 17-year-old from the mindless distraction and to help facilitate his education evidently proved unbearable for the student, who can be seen in surveillance footage barreling toward the victim and knocking her from her feet.

Motionless and unconscious after the initial unprovoked attack, the defenseless victim can be seen in the video suffering stomps, kicks, and a flurry of punches to the back of her head from the heavyset suspect.

The 270-pound student can be seen straddling the victim during the attack, delivering blows to her sides and back before others finally intervened:

The FCSO indicated that the victim, hit at least 15 times, was taken to AdventHealth Palm Coast for treatment of her wounds, but not before her aggressor reportedly managed to spit on her body and threaten to come back and kill her.

Restrained by multiple school staff members, the student was taken to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. While deputies processed him after the grievous attack, the student reportedly kicked the deputy's desk and computer. He was later handed off to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

He has been charged with felony aggravated battery with bodily harm.

"The actions of this student are absolutely horrendous and completely uncalled for," Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement. "We hope the victim will be able to recover, both mentally and physically, from this incident. Thankfully, students and staff members came to the victim’s aid before the SRDs could arrive. Our schools should be a safe place – for both employees and students."

Flagler Schools Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt said, "Creating a safe learning and working environment on our campuses is critical. Violence is never an appropriate reaction."
