Substitute Teacher Fired After Video Shows Him Body Slamming 12-Year-Old Student

The of the student at Western Guilford Middle School posted the video of the incident on Facebook Friday. She wrote that the incident happened on Valentine's Day and that she wants "justice."

Her son, Jose Escudero, told that the incident started over a box of chocolates. The substitute teacher, he said, took them away and threw them in the sink.

Jose said he waited toward the end of class to get them back and that's when an altercation took place.

The 12-year-old said he put the chocolates in his book bag and then the substitute teacher tried grabbing them from him. When that didn't work, Jose said the substitute teacher grabbed him by his shirt, pinned him up against the wall and then threw him over his shoulder to the ground.
