Mom Assaults Bully in School

Mom Assaults Bully

A 30-year old mother of a girl who was allegedly being bullied entered Olivet Charter Elementary School without signing in.  She went to the cafeteria, had her son tell her who was bullying her daughter, then confronted the alleged bully in front of other children.  The mother threatened the boy about bullying her daughter, then grabbed him around the neck.

The bullying claims are being investigated, but in the meantime, the mother has been arrested and charged with felony child abuse.

Analysis
Schools that have procedures for signing visitors into the school should also have in place procedures for what to do when a person does not follow procedures.  The mother's assault was not witnessed by any adult, which begs the question, how did this happen?

An adult entering the school, bypassing the sign in procedures, and then assaulting a student without being seen by the adults indicates some refresher training on sign in procedures, as well as student supervision techniques.

In this day and age, we cannot afford to let incidents like this happen.
