A Florida Principal Was Filmed Paddling a 6-Year-Old Student

The child reportedly broke a screen on a school computer, and the principal — Melissa Carter — called her mother to Central Elementary School, asking the woman to bring $50 to cover the damages. When the woman arrived, she told a local news outlet, WINK-TV, she found her daughter already in the principal’s office with Carter and a school clerk.

The woman told the station that when the school called her about the computer on April 13, someone had mentioned paddling, but because of a language barrier — the student’s mother speaks Spanish — she didn’t understand exactly what was meant. She decided to film rather than intervene, she said, because she felt “nobody would have believed” her. “I sacrificed my daughter so all parents can realize what’s happening in this school.

As the New York Times notes, corporal punishment remains legal in schools in 19 states, Florida included. Still, the Hendry County School District, which oversees Clewiston’s Central Elementary, specifically prohibits corporal punishment. After the paddling, the woman took her daughter to see a doctor; the Hendry Regional Medical Center reportedly contacted the Clewiston Police Department, explaining that the woman wanted to file a report.

The student in question has since transferred and, according to Probinsky, the mother is pursuing criminal and administrative action against the school employees involved. “I’m going to get justice for my daughter because if I could not do it in front of her,” the woman told WINK-TV, “I’m going to do it with justice.”
