You all are missing the fact that it IS against the law! That is why this man was arrested. I’d be damned if another adult laid a hand on my child.

Paddling should be reinstated in schools.

If a bruised thigh was part of the “physical evidence” observed, bruises and limping could have been a direct result of fighting on a school bus. I don’t think a paddling alone would cause such a thing. WoW. I hope the allegations are not true. This pastor has other people to assist in life and doesn’t need this stigma attached if it is indeed a lie. And the little girl has her whole life ahead of her and needs to start behaving appropriately.

Parents, children, and adults all have to be responsible for their actions.

Great, now we taught the kid that they were right. Continue behavior. Good thinking society.

Hey A1, why would the grandmother have contacted the Escambia county school district. SL Jones is a private Christian school with no affiliation as stated in the article. We all know that discipline and standards were different in the past. Leave it there.

Alot of kids these days do not have respect, some will say you have no right or you ain’t my momma. My grandmother used to tell me if I wanted my kids to act right in public you have to start them @ home & when they’re young. She said you can’t let them go then decide to do something because it will not work. I will say this, you have to have respect for other people before you can teach it, and there are some grandparents & some greatgrandparents that do not teach it now. As for the man that was charged he was probably charged for hitting in thigh that was uncalled for.

See the grandma contacted the police cause she knows if she would have contacted the escambia county school district nothing would be done and as for sueing the escambia county school system good luck with that. The lawyers here wont do nothing you have to find someone out of town……

I was paddled once in junior high school by Coach Jones and was praying that my mom didn’t find out because I would have had a bigger problem when I got home. Needless to say I didn’t have to get a paddling ever again during my junior or high school years.

@Why, don’t be alarmed, I was just being phecious (fecisous).

If they had their butts paddled, they would learn the connection between inappropriate behavior and the consequences thereof.

I got paddled a few times in my day. Never got punched in the thigh. That is not at all professional. Especially for a man to be punching a girl.
