The teen behind the savage beating of a teacher that was caught on camera will have a year in detention to think about it — and it was all over a silly smartphone.
According to a report from WAGA-TV in Atlanta on Wednesday, the unnamed 15-year-old girl featured in a brutal video out of Rockdale County, Georgia, pleaded guilty to aggravated battery after a Jan. 26 altercation that left her British literature teacher unable to return to the classroom.
An assistant district attorney in Rockdale County said the girl would spend five years on supervised release after her year in a youth detention center.
The attack occurred at Heritage High School in Conyers, Georgia, after teacher Tiwana Turner tried to confiscate the girl’s phone.
“These cellphones, they’re able to bring them to school. It’s becoming a huge issue. This is like their livelihood,” Turner told WAGA.
“You take it away, some of them go berserk.”
In this case, what happened next was caught by what appeared to be another cellphone camera.
The lower the IQ the less impulse control. That’s why public school herding doesn’t work student’s need to be separated by intelligence so the best can be brought out
Glad to see a punishment from a judge rather than a slap on the wrist. Maybe school staff should all have tasers as a deterrent. A little zappidy-zap, some flexicuffs and off goes the out of control youth.
