A teaching aide who was brutally beaten by a 6’6″ teen student is a ‘humble’ mom-of-two whose son attends the same high school, it has been revealed.
Joan Naydich, 57, of Palm Coast, Florida, was thrown to the ground and knocked unconscious by an unidentified teen student on Tuesday at Matanzas High School after she took away his Nintendo Switch.
The mother-of-two has a son Morgan, a senior, who attends the high school and a daughter who graduated in 2013. She has worked for Flagler County Schools since 2004 and has worked at Matanzas since 2021.
Joan is humble, never asks for help and needs our love/support during this difficult time,’ friend and fellow parent, Jessica White Leon, wrote on GoFundMe. ‘I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Joan through our kids’ bowling team for Matanzas HS for the last six years!’
Flagler County deputies found Naydich with ‘severe’ injuries after she was hit by the student at least 15 times. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment. It is unclear if she is still in the hospital.
Sheriff Rick Staly told WESH 2: ‘This could have been a homicide.’
That is an ignorant, feckless animal with no self control. Take them out of the general school population and treat them in mental institutions.
Nurse Ratchet comes to mind.
“Student has special needs” He needs a special kind of a** whipping. There are kids who really have special needs and then there are straight up animals with no control. Do not get them confused. The reason that they label every kids who has issues is because they get more funding. This trash should be locked up because there is no fixing him!
He was formally charged today as an adult. 30 years is the max sentence should he be convicted. Beyond that, I’m thinking how this mom is going to survive and see to her children. She gets horribly battered, will likely have lifelong consequences, and all this for doing her job. Hopefully a go fund me was set up for her and her children. I’d contribute if there was.
Damn, 6′ 6″? That kid should be playin ball, not beating up old ladies.
This big lug POS needs to be punished in the most severe method possible. I wish he would get the death sentence. He didn’t care if he killed her or not. I’m sure that was his intention.
