  • Florida Teacher Arrested For Putting 3-Year-Old Autistic Boy In A Headlock While She Read Story To The Class

    Florida Teacher Arrested For Putting 3-Year-Old Autistic Boy In A Headlock While She Read Story To The Class

    A teacher in Florida was arrested for putting a 3-year-old boy with autism in a headlock with her legs while reading a story, reports the NY Post. 

    The child was crying, but the teacher continued reading, as reported by the police and seen in a shocking photo. On August 23, a classroom aide was preparing an activity in Vilma Otero’s classroom at Forest Lake Elementary School when she heard the boy crying. She saw the teacher holding him in what looked like a chokehold. 

    A surprising photo taken by the aide shows Otero, 59, sitting on a stool and reading to the class while the boy is lying on his back underneath her. The child’s face was red from yelling and crying as he tried to wiggle his way out of the teacher’s hold, according to the aide’s statement to the authorities. 

    The boy, whose name was not mentioned in the report, had difficulty communicating with the police due to his disability. However, he managed to express that he

    “got in trouble at school”

    and said,

    “She hurt me,”

    according to the report. When talking to the young boy, deputies saw some redness on his neck. 

    Otero told the authorities that she has been a teacher for 36 years, mostly working with special needs kids. She claimed that it’s normal to move a child to another room when they need to calm down and denied restraining the boy as the aide described. Otero is facing a serious charge of child abuse.

  • Mother Discovers Son Engaging In Sexual Activity With Teacher In Car After Utilizing Tracking App, Life 360, To Locate Him

    Mother Discovers Son Engaging In Sexual Activity With Teacher In Car After Utilizing Tracking App, Life 360, To Locate Him

    A mother in North Carolina utilized a well-known tracking app to uncover her son engaging in a sexual encounter with his high school teacher in a car, reports the NY Post. 

    The parent, who remains unidentified, had installed the Life 360 app on her son’s device and grew suspicious when she received an alert about his absence from rugby practice. Instead of being at practice, the app indicated that he was lingering near a local park. The mother went to the location in Mecklenburg and allegedly discovered him in a compromising situation with Gabriela Cartaya-Neufeld, a 26-year-old teacher at South Mecklenburg High School, as reported by WSOC. 

    Shocked, the mother took several pictures of the teacher’s vehicle and license plate before contacting the authorities. Cartaya-Neufeld was arrested at the scene. The parent had already heard rumors about her son’s inappropriate relationship, which heightened her vigilance before the missed practice. 

    Prosecutors claimed that Cartaya-Neufeld engaged in sexual activities with the teenager in various locations, including her car, his mother’s home, and her own residence. The arrest came after months of rumors circulating within the school, prompting administrators to question both the student and the teacher. 

    Cartaya-Neufeld, who teaches science, now faces five felony counts of sexual activity with a student by a teacher. While she was initially taken to Mecklenburg County jail, she has since been released on bail. 

    The Life 360 app, which includes Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Mark Zuckerberg, as a board member, has gained popularity among

    “helicopter”

    parents seeking to monitor their children. The technology can notify parents if the device holder is in a speeding vehicle or has left a predetermined area. With approximately 50 million active monthly users, Life 360 was projected to generate $300 million in earnings this year.

    Private School Teacher Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Teen In Park, Gifted Him Gun For Birthday

    A private Christian school teacher in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, has been accused of sexually assaulting an eighth-grade student, per the NY Post. 

    The alleged perpetrator, Tyesha Bolden, 34, reportedly had an inappropriate relationship with the boy, which included exchanging over 2,200 text messages, some of which contained explicit content. Bolden has been released on a $2,500 bond after being charged with second-degree child sex assault and providing a dangerous weapon to a child.

    According to police, in June, Bolden took the boy to a wooded park, where the assault is said to have occurred. The victim later revealed that he asked Bolden to buy him a Glock 19 handgun, as he felt the need for protection. Shockingly, Bolden not only purchased the gun and ammunition but also gifted it to the teenager for his 14th birthday, along with some books.

    The situation came to light when the victim’s parents discovered inappropriate photos, including a topless selfie of Bolden, on their son’s phone. In July, the teen asked Bolden for money and another gun, but she only provided the money. Shortly after, the victim went missing, and it was suspected that he might be staying at Bolden’s residence. Police located him in possession of the same gun his teacher had bought him.

    Upon learning of the allegations against Bolden, the school promptly fired her. 

    If convicted, she could face up to 40 years in prison.

  • Jewish Teacher Resigned After Receiving Antisemitic Harassment From 12-Year-Old Student

    Jewish Teacher Resigned After Receiving Antisemitic Harassment From 12-Year-Old Student

    A Jewish middle school teacher in Massachusetts decided to resign from his position after encountering antisemitic harassment from his 12-year-old student, NY Post reported. 

    Morrison Robblee, 25, was a sixth-grade social studies teacher at the Nessacus Regional Middle School in Dalton until his resignation. According to Robblee, the harassment began in April after he showed up to school in a yarmulke, a skull cap worn by Orthodox Jewish men. The student began making hateful comments towards Robblee and was sent to detention. However, that did not stop the child from returning with a

    “sketch of Hitler standing over a dead person labeled ‘Jew,’ surrounded by swastikas and canisters labeled ‘gas,’”

    Robblee told Insider. 

    Robblee believes the student’s rage towards him is stemming from a prior incident that occurred at the beginning of the year where the child allegedly made homophobic comments and was removed from the class. Robblee claims to have dealt with weeks of harassment from the student. He told Insider that the harassment even spilled over into the hallways and that the boy continued to make jokes about the Holocaust, including gas chambers. He also revealed that the student also emailed him insults about his teaching.

    The student now faces a misdemeanor charge of criminal harassment. 

    Robblee says he doesn’t feel like he was receiving the same support from school administrators, however. Robblee was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into him making a face at the child in the hallway. Robblee admitted to Insider that he stuck his tongue out at the boy in a second of frustration after the child cursed at him. 

    “I am not bothered by the ignorant comments of a child,”

    Robblee reportedly wrote in a statement to the Central Berkshire Regional School District to be read at a meeting to end the boy’s suspension.

    “I am bothered that, without proper intervention, this hate will continue to fester.”
