Special Needs Student Gets Charged As Adult For Assaulting Teacher

Author Buckwheat

A Florida high school student with special needs was arrested last week for allegedly assaulting his teacher. The student lost it on the teaching assistant after she took away his Nintendo Switch. Because of the brutal attack, prosecutors are charging the 17 year-old Matanzas High School student as an adult.

A NBC affiliate, WESH, obtained surveillance footage of the assault. In the video you can see the teacher walk out of the classroom with his switch and the student running out after her. The 6’8″, 270 pound teen almost blindsided her and pushed her so hard she went flying. The student then continues to attack the teacher, he kicked her multiple times and then jumped on top of her and started throwing punches. The teacher was not even able to defend herself since she was knocked unconscious. But that’s not all.. Video also shows the teen spit towards the victim twice and screamed at her as he was being pulled out of the school in handcuffs.

The 17-year-old is now being held in the Flagler County jail on a $1 million bond. The victim was hospitalized but is now recovering at home. There is a GoFundMe page set up to help the victim with medical costs.

The 5 Most Dangerous Cities In Florida

We know how ominous “The most dangerous cities in Florida” sounds, but we think it’s important to know. The good news is out of a list of 100 dangerous cities in the U.S., only 5 in Florida made the list. Of those 5 cities, none of them cracked the top 50 in this updated study. A lot of people probably assume big metros like Miami, Tampa and Orlando made the list, but nope!

We got this information from Neighborhood Scout. Their analysis includes crimes reported by all agencies. They studied cities with 25,000 or more people, based on the number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents. Data used for this research are:

  1. The number of violent crimes reported to the FBI to have occurred in each city.
  2. Projections of violent crime rates based on prior years’ data.
  3. The population of each city.

Florida is known for some of the country’s most bizarre crimes. And while all of them may be dangerous, they may not qualify as “violent.” Driving a golf cart naked down I75, assault with food, and similar “Florida Man” crimes don’t fall into the FBI category.
