The Florida teacher’s aide who was brutally attacked by a 270-pound student denied her teenage assailant’s claims that she sparked the classroom beatdown when she confiscated his Nintendo Switch.
Joan Naydich, a paraprofessional at Matanzas High School in Palm Coast, made the revelation Monday as she continues to recover from being slammed to the floor and stomped on 15 times.
“I just want to set the record straight. I never took the Nintendo Switch from him. From anyone that’s read or heard differently, I’ve been told this was unfortunately misinformation,” Naydich said, according to a fundraiser launched for her recovery.
Brendan Depa, 17, told cops he launched his tirade on Naydich after she took his handheld game console during class.
Disturbing video shows the hulking 6-foot-6 teenager exacting his revenge on the mother of two in the school hallway.
Depa can be seen sprinting toward Naydich and shoving her to the ground, knocking her unconscious immediately. The teenager continues to beat Naydich’s limp body as stunned students and teachers try to break up the violence.
It took four adults to pry the massive student off Naydich, the footage shows.
Naydich was rushed to a nearby hospital and has since been released but said she is “overwhelmed with the idea of the long fight ahead.” *** Depa — who allegedly told cops he was “going to kill her” when he is released from custody — will be tried as an adult with aggravated battery on a school board employee, an offense punishable by up to 30 years behind bars.
The troubled teen has a violent past and was arrested three times for simple battery in 2019.
Depa is considered behaviorally disabled and requires specially designed instruction and related services as a member of so-called “exceptional students.”

I hope she comes through fully healed.
I hope he is convicted on each charge and sentenced to serve each conviction consecutively.
Like it matters? What if she was wrong? (Trauma can mess up your memory.) Would that in any way justify or explain his reaction?
What’s a “paraprofessional?”
One of Obama’s sons I see.
Figures
Well, he’s a DELIBERATE product of LBJ’s Great Society breeding program. There are now MILLIONS like him. You can recognize them by their dull, empty eyes and their repetitive mumbling of “you dissin’ me? …you dissin’ me?”
It’s a professional teacher’s helper, basically.
You help the teacher prepare everything and maintain classroom order but you are not credentialed as a teacher.
In a saner time in history he would have been alligator food a long time ago.
It doesn’t matter. Either way the thug belongs in prison for a long stretch.
“It took four adults to pry the massive student off Naydich, the footage shows.”
That’s because they were trying not to hurt him. Out in the real world, somebody’ll just do a mag dump on him, and won’t he be surprised.
Even if she did take his “toy”, that doesn’t excuse him trying to beat the life out of her about it.
This lady is lucky to still even have normal brain function. Time will tell if she has back problems or damaged nerves. Early retirement from the school room might be the best plan for her. Hopefully she sues for disability.
So another societal mutant went off line.
Nothing to see here...Continue with your pre programmed life.
ARE YOU TIRED YET?
I have heard less than zero from this boy’s parents or guardian.
Maybe nobody claims him as family, other than the juvenile court system.
I knew it.
There you go, rushing to judgement. Just like the Ferguson, MO cop who shot Michael Brown, well known gentle giant. I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation why this gentle giant became so provoked. We don’t want this incident to derail his getting his life together. Let’s just chalk this up to white privilege. Laughable, maddening, sickening, but that is response of a great percentage of Woke Amerika.
Scott Adams has some good advice on this issue.
Only A Lad
You really can’t blame him
Only A Lad
Society’s made him
Only A Lad
He’s our responsibility
Oh, ooh-oh
Only A Lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only A Lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only A Lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
He has shown he is not capable of self control and will harm people. He should be institutionalized, or, sent to a prison for the criminally insane.
“If Moochelle had a son...”
Yes - what does that even matter? Almost sounds like an argument that action whether or not it occurs could have been a possible justification for the behavior.
