A Rochester family says their son was assaulted by a substitute teacher at RCSD school number 50. According to his parents, 7-year-old Mathias Tucker was dragged across the floor and slammed into a wall Tuesday at school. Now, they say they’re worried for their child’s safety.
Mathias’s parents, Kechard Tucker and Santeli Gonzalez, say they received a call from the school around 10 a.m. Tuesday notifying them their son had been assaulted by one of the school’s substitute teachers. The parents say they were unable to obtain the video due to the school board’s safety protocol.
Mathias explains he bumped into another student before he says the teacher grabbed him. Mathias was evaluated by the nurse, but no injuries were found, and the parents aren’t sure whether or not the substitute will return to school.
According to RPD, the investigation into these allegations is ongoing and they are unable to share any details at this time. The District says they are aware of this situation, and an internal investigation is underway.
