A principal was caught on video paddling a 6-year-old. Now she could face criminal charges.

A Florida elementary school principal is under investigation after being captured on video paddling a 6-year-old student in front of her mother, according to authorities.

Melissa Carter, 37, principal of Central Elementary School in Clewiston, is seen using a wooden paddle on a student April 13 for damaging a computer screen.

The mother recorded the punishment in horror as Carter spanked her bent-over, whimpering child next to school clerk Cecilia Self, 62, who was there to interpret. Self’s Spanish-to-English interpretations were inaccurate, the mother told WINK-TV, a CBS affiliate in Fort Myers.

“The hatred with which she hit my daughter, I mean it was a hatred that, really, I’ve never hit my daughter like she hit her,” the mother, who has not been publicly identified, told the station.

“The Clewiston Police Department, Department of Children and Families, and the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office have been provided information regarding this matter,” the release said. “The investigation remains ongoing at this time.”

  1. Yup- paddle. them at 6 and maybe they won’t end up going down a dark road ending in drug addiction, suicide who knows what? Graduated in 1982, they still had paddling & I recall maybe 3 or 4 kids in our grade being paddled, all boys and all in middle school. None of them were repeat offenders either.

  2. So, being a concerned parent, she stood by and recorded the incident, instead of stepping forward and stopping it. Appears, recording it was more important, for future gains, then stopping the spanking.

    1. No most of them record it now because with the Democrats handing out all this money they have $$$$$ restitutions in their mines. That is what it is all about. Most of them do not care what is really happening. JUST ANOTHER EASY BUCK.

  3. If there was more of that both in school and at home, there would be a lot less problems in society, I think that teacher should be rewarded for her efforts to instill in kids what needs to be instilled in them.

    1. Well that silly “TIME OUT” certainly did not work did it???? Look at the mental cases we got walking the streets now and teenage suicide is at an all time high. PARENTS NEED TO BE PARENTS AND NOT FRIENDS.
