Problem Child Continues Bullying Students

CBS 4 News (Pompano Beach, FL): A Broward County 5th grader was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery after he walked into a meeting with his principal, asked if the meeting was about him, and then punched a child who was there with his mother. The meeting was about problems between the two children. Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed the arrest, and said it was made by school police officers after the punch was thrown. The incident happened at Pompano Elementary School, after Jocelyn Bruning said she and her son attended a meeting with the principal about ongoing problems between the two children. BSO says the child who threw the punch has received in-school counseling, and was also involved in an incident where he allegedly hit another child, an act which caused the school to send the 11 year old boy home with his parents. Bruning is upset that the child, whose name is not being released, was allowed to remain in classes despite acts of violence and disobedience.
