According to an arrest warrant, Rhodesia Ealey “slapped, punched and choked a 7th-grade student” on a bus at McConnell Middle School.

“We expect adults to know how to handle children. They’re going to try adults but there’s no reason to put your hands on other people’s children,” parent Maya Watson said.
