The mother of a 14-year-old girl says her child is facing
assault and battery charges for throwing a baby carrot at her school teacher.
The teen was leaving class when she spotted a former teacher
of hers in the hallway of Moody Middle School in Henrico County, Virginia. She
reached into her pocket and tossed a leftover carrot from lunch at
the teacher, which hit the woman in the forehead, according to WTVR.
The student has been suspended from school for a month.
In school documents, administrators claim that the carrot
was used as a weapon, but the girl maintains that the root veggie toss was
meant as a joke.
"I don't even know how to combat the
stupidity," the girl's mother, Karrie May, told CBS 6.
The school's disciplinary review board sent the family a
letter trying to get the girl to admit guilt, but they declined. Now, they are
awaiting a summons to see what's next.
Todd Stone, a legal expert says that the firmness of the
carrot could affect the case.
"If it's a soft carrot, it may not be as
offensive,” Stone says, “But if it's a raw carrot, you don't have to have
an injury or show you were hurt to prove a battery."
Well...don't throw things at your teacher and you wont get
into this kind of trouble.
