Florida Parents Arrested After Attacking School Resource Officer

Talk about going HARD for your kid! Two Florida parents are facing charges after double-teaming a school resource officer. According to the Associated Press, the mother pushed the female officer while the dad punched her in the face.

The Orlando Sentinel has identified the parents as 46-year-old Jorge Rivera and 45-year-old Dagmarie Aponte Iturrino.

Officials charged the Deltona, Florida, parents with battery on a law enforcement agent and armed robbery for the school incident. There are reportedly additional charges tied to the father snatching the school resource officer’s taser weapon after she fell to the ground from the blows. Online records indicate that the parents do not yet have an attorney, per AP News.

Why Did The Florida Parents Pop Off At Their Son’s School?

According to an arrest report, the father became angry during a meeting. Apparently, the deputy told the parents that another student wouldn’t face charges for throwing a shoe at their 11-year-old son. The 11-year-old was present for the meeting.

After receiving the update about his son, the father began insulting and cursing at the deputy. In response, the school resource officer calmly asked them to leave, per the arrest report. However, after exiting the deputy’s school office, the mother placed herself between the officer and her husband. The mother then pushed the deputy. During the struggle, the husband punched the deputy in the face and then took her taser. Bodycam video from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office shows the confrontation.

Ultimately, the deputy got on her feet, drew her weapon, and ordered the father to drop the taser. She then handcuffed the father. Paramedics treated the school resource officer for a possible concussion and transported her to a hospital for more treatment.

During a press conference, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood went IN about the incident involving the deputy.

“To say, ‘I’m furious,’ is beyond,” Sheriff Chitwood said. “There’s no reason I have a deputy with a concussion for something so trivial.”

Mother Claims Son Was Nearly Hung In Maryland School Bathroom

Last weekend, the mother of a seven-year-old boy went viral on social media after sharing an incident at an elementary school in Waldorf, Maryland. The mother claimed that a fourth grader with an alleged history of bullying attempted to hang her second grader.

Her statement—and a photo of her son wearing a neckbrace—surfaced after the principal of C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School claimed the incident resulted from “horseplaying.” The Shade Room’s Justin Carter spoke to the shaken family in the latest episode of ‘TSR Investigates.’
