Second Grader Stripped Naked, Spanked in Front of Classmates
School officials in Prince George's County, Maryland are investigating a relative's actions in a charter school last week. This is after a woman walked into the school and spanked her nephew in front of his entire classroom.
Paula Reitan couldn't believe her ears after leaving a school party at Turning Point Academy her daughter and three classmates told her how a fellow second grader was stripped naked below the waist and spanked by a relative in front of the entire class.
"The aunt came, made the child pull his pants down, pull his underpants down and in front of the entire class, and unfortunately my daughter had a full view of this, whipped him with a belt," said Paula Reitan, parent.
Horrified that the teacher was right in front of the classroom at the time of the beating and the school's principal knew about the incident, she fired off an email to a Prince George's County School Board member only to be told Turning Point Academy is a charter school. Prince George's County has no jurisdiction.
That didn't set well with the PhD Mom.
"I did some research and I really believe that the school board does have the legal and moral obligation to investigate this," said Paula Reitan, parent.
In an about face, the school is now investigating. While Turning Point Academy is attached to Trinity Assembly of God, the teachers here are paid by taxpayers.
"Certainly if there is a reason to contact social services regarding an adult's actions we would do that," said John White, Prince George's County School District. "If one of our employees didn't act appropriately then disciplinary action would follow there as well."
No one at Turning Point Academy would comment about the spanking.
On Monday, it's principal sent a letter home to parents saying: "Please know that the incident is a family matter and should not have occurred in a school setting. All interactions were between the child and a family member."

That's disgusting...
of course, they're only worried about the fact that people might think it's the skools fault, they don't care about the kid.
that aunt is either insane or a pervert... either way...shes going to jail! :)
Actually... She ain't goin to jail... Why would she.... And what makes her a pervert? She obviously had a reason to spanking him (although it could've waited until he wasn't around classmates) but, it isn't the schools fault. they had nothing to do with it... And if she didn't want her daughter to see him... Or if the daughter was uncomfortable seeing him... She shouldn't have been looking... Thats all I have to say. (:
Whatever the reason, hitting him with a BELT wasn't justified. He's not a fucking dog. Plus he'll probably only be fearful or resentful toward his aunt for this. That aunt is either insane or a fucking idiot. Probably both. And what, so it's right for someone to come whip a little kid in front of his friends as long as they're not "looking"
Unfortunately she probably isn't going to jail. Spanking isn't outlawed. It's disgusting how much adults can still get away with. And then have the nerve to try to blame it on the children. Of course it wasn't the school's fault but they COULD do something about it. Animals don't even deserve to be treated like that. He's a second grader for god's sake. A BELT? Sheesh. That other kid because the aunt stripped him naked in front of a second grade class? if she wasn't his aunt I frankly can't see how that wouldn't be perverted
