JUST IN: Substitute elderly teacher beaten by 280-pound student at Perry Meridian High School in Indianapolis. Authorities have launched an investigation after 74-year-old substitute teacher Rob Gooding was allegedly beaten with a Chromebook. The student was described as a 6-feet-2, 280 pound "man child." "I saw him come up, and he said, ‘I’ve had it,’ and he came down and I blocked the Chromebook. That’s where the hole was," Gooding said, showing where he blocked it with his forearm. Gooding was then shoved to the floor and punched continuously. "He hovered over me and with his left hand whammed me." Gooding requested that the student be arrested and prosecuted however "higher-ups" in the school are blocking that from happening. Signs of a declining society.

What are the names of the “higher-ups” in the school? They all need to be removed from their positions, immediately. We’re truly living in a 🤡🌎.

"Then he said to me, ‘We have been instructed by the higher-ups, which is the district, not to handcuff, or arrest the kid,’ and I said, ‘What?’ and he said, ‘Yes, that came from the higher-ups,'" Gooding said.

He does NOT need the school's permission to press charges against that student! The student needs to be removed from that school for the safety of teachers and the other students.

Children are being taught there’s no consequences for their actions and that’s why this continues to happen. It’s only going to get worse as our country becomes more lawless and our borders get more invaded. The fabric of society is shredding.

That’s when you call 911 and demand to press charges, and contact the local media and get everyone’s attention. This child is larger than most adults, he still would and should go to a juvenile detention center because he is obviously a danger to everyone around him.

Why aren’t teachers striking over the degrading safety conditions at work? They’ll strike over salary, not being able to show children soft core p*rn, but not this. The “man-child” needs to be in jail, now. This is abhorrent.

The school “Higher Ups” criteria on whether or not to arrest the 6ft2in 280lb “Man Child”, who beat up a 74yr old substitute teacher with a Chromebook … even after the teacher requested he be charged 😏

I told my staff (principal) “you did not leave your civil rights at the door” . District cannot prevent staff from making a police report. The next staff person may not get away with just bruises. Attackers become bolder and more violent when there are no consequences.

More and more “Red Guards” in our schools without morals. I see Mao’s Cultural Revolution which I survived, with American characteristics. I am running for U.S. Congress because of it.

He has 100% right to sue the parents of the man child for assault. People don't understand any of their rights anymore. They are responsible for their kid until 18. The same as you are responsible for ANY damage your dog does to anyone. That's a $5m lawsuit in my eyes.

This is yet another sign of a declining country. This is a suburban middle-class neighborhood, so it's spreading outward from the inner major cities.

Has that "Cultural Revolution" vibe. End the Department of Education and return control to the states with the funding following students.

Please address the 280-pound elephant in the room. Is he a white linebacker on the football team? If we can’t tell the truth about what’s happening how can the problem be addressed? We keep seeing this over and over again. Yet if it’s a white student the media plays that up.

I don’t understand why he doesn’t press charges against the student. He doesn’t need the school to do anything.

Sounds like this teacher needs some concerned citizens to call and hold the administration accountable!

I’m so sorry this happened to this man! No teacher deserves this treatment, and should be protected by the administration. The entire staff should walk out until the admins agree to start standing up for them against violent student behavior. No student should get away with this!
