Mom: Substitute teacher choked my son

youngstown

A South Lakeview Avenue woman said her 11-year-old son was choked by a substitute teacher at Rayen Early College Middle School. Johneice Green filed a police report about the incident.

The boy wrote in a statement to police that the teacher told him his writing was too big and then choked him.

Green said she was told by school-district officials that the substitute no longer will be used.

Superintendent Connie Hathorn couldn’t be reached.

The substitute wrote in her police statement that the boy was talking loudly and not doing his work.

She told him to quiet down, and when he came to the front of her desk, she pulled him by the front of his shirt.
