A year in jail for a mother for beating her son's teacher

When I hear news like this or like that of the Texas teacher who hit a child in class, I seem to live on another planet. I understand that there are situations that get us mad, but how can an adult have so little self-control in some situations? The violence of the people reaches stratospheric levels.

It has been published in the news that a mother has been sentenced to one year in prison by a Barcelona Court for hitting her son's teacher with a bag. But not only that, he also insulted him (he said "son of a bitch") and threatened him with death. How? How do you hear it?

We get in cars ...

The events occurred in October 2014 at the Turó de Roquetes School. The woman's son, 9 years old, had been punished that day without a yard for throwing a case at another student. The official version is that the boy rebelled before the punishment and lost control, so it was physically contained by several teachers in the principal's office.

According to the judge, in this incident, "in which the minor was able to suffer some type of injury as a result of his own uncontrolled behavior, he generated a spirit of revenge and extreme animosity from the accused."

Apparently, the conflict came from before, on occasions when the professor had been beaten, but this time for the boy. Once being in the company of more teachers and another time in the principal's office.

The woman has been accused of a crime of attack against a public official and sentenced to one year in jail. The judge established a fine of 6 euros per day for a month for a lack of malicious injuries and the payment of 314.30 euros for civil compensation for damages caused by a personal nature.

Violence generates violence

We don't know exactly what happened to make that mother go so crazy and hit her son's teacher. Something "any mother would have done," according to her. But as angry as you may be, violence is never justifiedIn addition to not solving anything, what example are you giving your children?

Obviously, that child was not taught to solve conflicts in a civilized way, but violence is part of his life as a daily occurrence.

If the mother herself is able to hit her child's teacher, it is not surprising that the son has done the same in situations that he did not know how to solve otherwise. Children learn to be violent from adults, the model in which they look generates that behavior.
