Showing Original Post only (View all)Florida student says she felt sexually assaulted in school paddling..18 year old woman paddled alone by two men [View all]
note. Parents can opt out of paddling and that's what Brooklyn's mom did. But the principal and his assist seemed to excited to be able to paddle her and rushed her into it.------------------------------------------
Brooklynn Daniels, an honor student at Liberty County High School in the Florida Panhandle, is speaking out after she says she felt sexually assaulted during a school paddling by her principal and assistant principal. She is now calling for a statewide ban on corporal punishment in schools.
Florida is one of 21 states that either allows or does not ban schools from using corporal punishment against students. Daniels and her mother Kristina Vann join Scripps News Tonight as they lead a petition to get Florida to ban the practice.
Daniels friend, who is not in the Beta Club, helped her decorate the door. The substitute teacher thought Daniels lied about the friend so they could miss some of their class.
That substitute was mad at me because she said I had lied to her face, even though I misunderstood everything that she was saying.
That was on November 26th. Daniels says the principal, Eric Willis, didnt address the incident until a week later when she was given two options.
Your two punishments are either in-school suspension, ISS, or in my case, licks, which thats corporal punishment, Daniels said.
----------No female staff member was present to witness the punishment. Daniels says Principal Willis hit her so hard it created welts that turned to bruises.
They were kind of giggling, laughing like they didnt even care. I just felt disgusting, kind of like they got off from it.
Daniels mom, Kristina Vann, says she never gave the school consent to paddle her daughter. She says Principal Willis didnt take her concerns seriously.

OP
When Senator Graham retired, it was all fucking downhill from there. MAGA fucked this place up.

This was a while back. He was the governor then in the senate for three terms. Excellent executive and legislator.

I think there is a case to be made that this is sexual assault... at least DA should be involved

I understand your perspective. I don't understand if it minimizes her assault to compare the two

That makes sense since the official state color is "embarrassment-red with a tinge of bruise-blue",...........

The use of an object called a paddle is what makes it paddling. Never heard of a girl getting it.

If anyone has any doubts about paddling, he/she/they should read "Death at an Early Age."

She may have an open campus and a schedule where she can work part-time during the day.

I've read stories like this before. Honor students are pressured into choosing the beating.

I'm against this form of punishment for a kid and at 18 it's veering into S&M territory.

public shaming? Tim Davis (former prof baseball player) did the paddling, Eric Willis watched.

I fail to see why ISS couldn't have been scheduled to avoid the college class and work
