http://www.11alive.com/story/news/local/riverdale-jonesboro/2015/05/19/clayton-county-nurse-profanity-sixth-grader/27585551/Students are accusing a school nurse of using profanity and a racial slur against a sixth-grader in the cafeteria.
In witness statements, six children and three adults described what happened after 11-year-old Jason Ezzard and another boy threw a bag of chips back and forth at Mundy's Mill Middle School.
Citing privacy concerns, Clayton County will not release the surveillance video to Ezzard or 11Alive, but the witness statements paint the picture of a violent confrontation.
"Degrading. Very degrading," said Jason's mother, Tormeka Ezzard. "'I'm going to (expletive) you up' -- you're talking to an 11-year-old. 'I'm going to your (expletive) lights out.' You're talking to an 11-year-old!"

Once something is on tape and goes viral, hard to keep the lid on abuse. Can hardly imagine the Letter of Reference. That said, maybe a new career.
Seems like Big Brother is doing a pretty good job of rooting out the criminals...and a lot of them seem to be those in power. Who knew? Or, who would believe? Accountability.
