A high school student from Missouri is in legal trouble after a disturbing video went viral, per the New York Post. The video shows the student physically attacking a 65-year-old teacher, causing her to be hospitalized. The incident, which was viewed thousands of times online, depicts the teacher trying to defend herself while the student continuously attacked her.
Despite the teacher’s efforts to defend herself, the Normandy High School student persistently attacked her, even when she was on top of her. Shocked students watched as the brawl unfolded. Eventually, other students intervened to separate the two, while a male teacher shouted for them to stop.
In another video, the girl is seen lying on her back in the hallway, her wrists held down to prevent choking. Students alleged the fight began when the teacher confronted the girl for retrieving medication from her locker, which was for her seizures. Collin Rugg, co-owner of Trending Politics, shared the footage.
When Greg Stanton, the teacher’s partner, went to see her in the hospital, she was unaware of the reason for the attack. Her injuries were severe, and she was unable to speak or comprehend why she was targeted. Stanton described her as crying and in a distressed state.
It is not known if the student was hospitalized after she seemingly had a seizure. However, the St. Louis police stated that they will pursue charges against the unidentified teenager in juvenile court. Normandy Schools stated they are dealing with the incident.
