I think the mother should be in jail and the girl placed in a loving home. Her statement has me dumbfounded.!
From the Orlando Sentinel:
Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said deputies had no choice but to arrest the girl Thursday. Her mother told deputies she had an appointment and "I don't have time for her . . . I don't care what you do with her," when they asked her to pick up the girl, he said.
"We couldn't leave her at the school. We didn't have a parent willing to pick her up," Davidson said. "We had no choice."
After the teacher, Jennifer Junk, told deputies she wanted to press charges, the girl was taken to the Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
According to a sheriff's report, the girl told deputies she got mad when Junk , an exceptional-student-education teacher, tried to discipline her for running around the classroom and drinking a behavioral specialist's drink without permission. The girl "got in her face," punched her and began kicking her in the shin.
