Florida Substitute Removed From Classroom After Touching Allegations
According to WFLA News Channel 8, A Hernando County Substitute was removed from school grounds after allegations of “inappropriate touching.” Administrators at Winding Waters In Weeki Wachee told parents that the students brought the allegations to their attention. It stems from an incident that happened in one of the middle grade classroom’s. After learning of the allegations, the administration removed the substitute from school grounds and called the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. At this time, the substitute teacher is not allowed back to any of the facilities in the district. According to the Hernando County school system “Substitutes are employees of Kelly Services and Kelly Services will also conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into the matter.” Last year, another substitute employed by Kelly Education Staffing was arrested for sexually battering a student.
Which Florida City Made The List With Highest Murder Rates In U.S.
There’s lots to love about the Sunshine State, but we’re also notorious for the craziest crimes. One Florida city even ranked in the top 15 for highest murder rates in America. It’s not really a list we love to see Florida on, but we can’t say we’re not surprised with all the insane stuff that happens here.
Our friends at neighboorhoodscout.com ranked the top 30 cities in the country with the highest murder rates per 1,000 residents. They condensed their research by including cities with 25,000 or more people. They collected their data by the number of murders reported to the FBI to have occurred in each city, and the population of each city. The city population data comes straight from the US Bureau of the Census at the time of each analysis. For instance, the 2022 list population uses 2020 population figures. The 2021 list uses 2019 figures, and so forth.
There were 14 new cities making the list this year. “The newcomer on this list with the highest murder rate is Saginaw, MI. The number of murders in Saginaw more than doubled from the previous year.” Thankfully (and surprisingly) only one Florida city was ranked in the research.
