Alabama "teacher of the year" savagely whips her own son on camera

An Alabama school’s teacher of the year has been arrested and fired after a disturbing video showed her hitting her young son at least 20 times with a belt.

"Second-grade teacher Nicole Staples went viral after someone leaked the footage of her savagely beating her 12-year-old son in the living room of their home in Mobile.

“You’re not f–king sorry,” Staples screams as she repeatedly hits the boy while he screams and cries.

“Because if you were f–king sorry … you wouldn’t make extra work for everybody in this house,” she yells as she continues to smack him as someone else in the house hurries past.

There were two other children in the house, but it’s unclear who filmed the video.

However, Staple’s eldest son, Jackson Staples — who no longer lives there — told Fox10 that he was the one who forwarded it to Cottage Hill Christian Academy, where his mom works and was named Teacher of the Year in May.

“I didn’t feel like, you know, she should be working at the school or even doing that to my little brothers,” said Jackson Staples, 24, alleging that his mom has “done it to me my whole life.”

The school alerted law enforcement and Staples was arrested Wednesday afternoon. She was charged with willful abuse of a child under 18 and fired from her job as a second-grade teacher.

“That was way above and beyond any form of discipline,” Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch told Fox10, saying that more charges could follow for the “egregious” violence.

Staples posted her $7,500 bond on Wednesday evening. She dashed out of jail and sped off in a golf cart, according to video obtained by Fox 10.

It is seriously sickening how this barbarism still happens in the 21st century. What is wrong with people? Why do people allow stuff like this to keep happening?
