Surveillance video shows an angry mother storming into the Bethel Junior Academy on Thursday morning in Florida City.
Thirteen-year-old Nehemiah Johnson, a student at the Christian private school, said the woman’s son was a “bully.” Nehemiah said she used a brown belt to strike him.
The woman calmly walked out of the school at 32920 Redland Rd. Nehemiah’s mother, Zendre Pollard, was outraged. She said the attack was at about 11:30 a.m.
“It was hard to watch. I don’t want anybody’s child to go through anything like this. It was very hard to watch. I’m at the point where my child should have been protected,” Pollard said. “How can a parent get that far and start swinging at my child?”
Nehemias said he suffered injuries to his lip and arm. Pollard said the woman’s son was a bully who had “fat-shamed” Nehemiah.
Nehemiah said he had picked up the woman’s son and “dropped him.” Pollard filed a police report and attempted to get a restraining order at about 2 p.m. A judge declined to grant it.
Pollard said she wants to see the woman who hit her son arrested for child abuse. Representatives of the Bethel Junior Academy declined to comment in time for this story.
