A student captures the chaotic and terrifying moment a teacher punishes a student

In an American school, a bystander captured on camera the moment a female teacher physically punished a 13-year-old boy, which led to the teacher being fired.

The camera captures the extremely graphic footage of the female teacher dragging the male student around, punching, kicking and banging his head against the wall, amid the screams, laughter and cheers of the surrounding students.

The incident occurred at Jamie's House Charter School in Texas, where a science teacher, Sheri Davis, physically punished a male student. While it's unclear why she did so, it's believed the incident may have involved a male student teasing another student who was dancing to music with other students after a test. The female student then threatened to hit her if she didn't stop laughing, which is thought to be related to the incident.

The video shows Sheri slapping the boy multiple times, kicking him in the back at least twice, and slamming his head against a wall for nearly a minute, with the video including sounds of students laughing and cheering.

The incident came to light when the boy's mother reported to the school that her child had 'jumped on the teacher.' After viewing the video, school officials immediately decided to fire Sheri. The video was filmed at the end of April, but the school was not made aware of its existence until May 10th.

The boy also said that he had been physically punished by other teachers, so the decision was made to investigate the other teachers as well. The boy's mother has also filed a complaint with the local police, and fines may be added.

There appear to have been other students and teachers present, but the video does not reveal what they were doing at the time.

The pros and cons of bringing mobile phones to school have long been debated , given the issue of so-called 'underground websites' and the impact on studies. However, given that videos taken with such devices have become evidence of abuse, it seems we must also consider how mobile phones can help protect children's safety.
