Broken Lip, Terminated Teacher00:05:53
New at 11, a 12-year-old is recovering from a broken lip and other injuries.
He says he got from a school employee at Kip Philadelphia Preparatory Academy in North Philadelphia.
That staff member has been terminated, but the boy's parents say that's not enough.
Actions reporter Amanda Pitch is live on the parkway, and she spoke to the student's mother tonight.
This seems so fake.
Yeah, Rick, that boy's mom tells me that while she acknowledges that her son was in the wrong here, he did swing at that staff member first.
She's man, what's wrong with these Kushites?
I couldn't imagine being 12 years old swinging on my teacher.
You know why?
Because you have integrity.
You have a conscience.
Freaking animals.
Yeah.
12 swinging on an adult, your teacher.
That is, that is, that's beyond crazy.
Damn savage.
He still says he didn't deserve to be assaulted by an adult at school, a place where he should feel safe.
He didn't fall.
Look at the mama.
Look at that tattoo on her neck.
Nice.
I don't know.
That's the mama.
I don't know why women wear those earrings.
That looks dangerous.
Look at the neck, the neck tattoo.
The earrings.
That's dangerous.
You could lose your ear wearing that thing.
Come on.
You know what that's genetic?
Because, you know, our people in Africa, you know, they put them big plates in the lips.
Right.
They do all that body.
I forget the modification.
Yeah.
She can't help it.
She is in her genetics.
But that's your mama.
Mm-hmm.
With neck tattoo and those earrings.
With a neck tattoo.
He didn't fall.
He didn't hurt himself.
He got punched by a man twice his size.
12-year-old Peyton Outlaw has a swollen lip, a lost tooth, and multiple stitches.
After he says he was by a staff member at the Kip Philadelphia.
He said he's like killing his mama.
Yeah, acting like he always.
He's all an act.
Yeah.
Comes off so disingenuous.
My son wanted to use the bathroom.
Get off your mama.
Yeah, come on now.
You swung on a teacher.
Now you a mama's boy.
You swinging on teachers.
Hey, Kip, what daddy at?
Dad ain't nowhere to be found.
That's all an act.
You swinging on teachers, now you're a mama's boy.
Come on, man.
Philadelphia Preparatory Academy in North Philadelphia Monday.
My son wanted to use the bathroom, and apparently he wouldn't allow her to use the bathroom lunch.
Stop it.
You see that boy?
That's what I used to look like after my daddy beat me.
Dazed and confused.
Both of us.
I didn't like it back then, but I'm glad I had a daddy.
Yeah.
My son wanted to use the bathroom, and apparently he wouldn't allow him to use the bathroom on his lunch break.
So my son tried to go around, put my son in the headlock.
My son got away, and then my son swung on him.
So then the dean swung.
I don't believe that for one second.
He prevented your son from going to the bathroom.
You wouldn't allow him to go to the bathroom.
Come on, man.
That don't even sound believable.
Yeah.
They say my son flew across the room and his tooth fell out of his mouth.
Outlaw's mom, Montrina Bennett, says she never got a phone call from the school after the incident.
Neither did his dad or other emergency contacts.
She says they found out from the parent of another student.
She rushed to the school to find her seventh grader bloody.
His injuries covered up by a mask.
Well, it sounds like the other parent called them before the school couldn't allow them the opportunity to reach out to his parents.
So his lip was up here.
His face was his lip was up here, Kevin.
Whoa, and he had blood dripping down.
The cops should have been called.
My son should have gone to the ambulance instead of to the nurse's office.
Ambulance.
Ambulance.
We continue to fully cooperate with the Philadelphia Police Department and the appropriate authorities to ensure transparency and accountability at every step.
She'd like to see more accountability both from school leaders and the staff member.
Peyton now needs a root canal on a second loose tooth and is scared to go back to class.
That man went home.
My son went to the hospital.
Well, that's what happened when you punch a grown man, swinging a grown man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't condone, you know, violence or anything, but a man has a right to defend himself.
Yeah.
You know, if you don't want to get punched, don't attack anybody.
Yeah.
Now, Bennett has since hired an attorney.
She's also filed a police report, but no word yet on if that staff member will be facing any charges here.
Live on the parkway tonight, Amanda.
Yeah, they said the kid is scared to go to school now.
I'm like, of course, yeah, he's scared.
Yeah.
But you swinging on you swinging on people you scared of.
Yeah.
You know, don't the teachers have a right to feel safe at school as well?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, and that's a great point.
And the way they spin this story, they even threw some shade at the uh for at the school for not calling him calling his mother in time.
Yeah, but they spun it, you know, being dismissed.
Yeah, they twisted the story.
I'm like, man, it's horrible when a student, you know, is punched in the face.
But hey, if it's justified, if he's attacking a teacher, right?
You have a right to defend yourself.
And I guarantee you, his behavior is totally different from what they presented in that video.
Spinning the Story for Money00:02:25
He's got his head on his mama.
Yeah.
Man, I bet that kid is a bet.
Come on, man.
I'm just speculating.
I don't have any evidence, but we've seen it a million times, man.
I've seen it growing up.
Yeah.
I mean, I can understand if he's just sitting in his seat and the teacher just goes up to him and starts swinging on him.
Okay, that's totally wrong.
Right.
But that's not what happened.
Or if the teacher was overzealous.
But when you swing on the teacher, man, they have a right to defend themselves.
Yeah.
But anyway, I was going through the comments.
Look, an administrator at another school had to literally tackle this same parent to keep her from assaulting another kid after a fight between the kid and hers.
She must have forgot that part.
It was thumbs up 2018.
I tried to find that story.
Right.
But I couldn't find it.
I mean, these comments are spot on.
She sees her son's injuries as money.
Right.
She's not looking for accountability.
Right.
He is not a victim, man.
That kid don't need money.
That kid needs a father figure.
That's what he needs.
Yeah, he needs discipline.
He needs accountability.
And he got that discipline inside of that classroom.
He needs respect.
I was going to the bathroom and he prevented me and grabbed me.
And then I swung on him to protect myself.
She said he put him in a hillock.
Oh, yeah.
He got away and then he swung on.
But he's scared of him.
It doesn't even sound believable, man.
You always got to vet the source.
And a lot of these Kushites, man, they make up things because they have ulterior motives.
They want that money.
You know?
How many times have we seen a story?
Oh, my kid, he's a straight A student.
He wouldn't harm nobody.
He's a good kid.
He just wanted an education.
Yeah.
Just like the white boys.
Yeah, he don't mean no harm.
He never hurt nobody.
Yeah, kid.
He's a good boy.
Kid just liars.
Hey, I remember this happened when we was in school.
And I always noticed this one thing.
What?
They're always Cushites.
I'm sure it happens, white kids attacking their teachers.
I get it.
But not all Cushites are bad, Keith.
Moses' second wife was a Cushite.
But these Cushites, man, y'all need to take a look at the mirror, man.
