(CNN)The 11-year-old girl was relentlessly bullied. And the culprit, police say, were her teachers.
One of them told the girl to "go kill herself" and threatened to fail other students if they didn't fight the girl, police said. And when that teacher was removed from the classroom, a second teacher allegedly kept up the abuse. The two Louisiana teachers, Ann Marie Shelvin and Tracy Gallow, now face criminal charges.
St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said he learned of the accusations back in February after the girl's mother filed a complaint. The mother returned to the sheriff's office in April to say the abuse was continuing. Deputies said Shelvin, a teacher at Washington Elementary, threatened to fail three of her students if they didn't fight the girl. She also allegedly told the bullied girl to "go and kill herself." In a police report obtained by CNN, a student involved in the incident told deputies that Shelvin forced her to start a fight that resulted in several students sent to the principal's office.

Good way for a teacher to get a pencil through the carotid artery in the neck. People are nutz these days and don’t think twice about smoking anyone in any position of power.
Even though we homeschool, every few grades my wife and I do this to our kids so they can be as socialized as their public school counterparts. Can’t have any “privileged” kids after all...
I have one grandson, who is Cherokee, and a member of the Cherokee Nation Tribe. He looks just like me, and has blonde hair and blue eyes.
That was funny!
Agreed.
Good description.
Ignore it? Nah. I was 6’ and 110 pounds in high school. Tall and skinny. Did everything I could to put on weight, including eating three dinners a day for a few years. Worked out a bunch, too.
And I was a geek. (Still am actually.)
But I finally got tired of being bullied and kicked one of the bully’s ###.
Funny thing is, after that we became friends, and if any other student tried to bully me, HE kicked their ###.
Turns out he was in an abusive family and was just looking for validation. Needed a friend.
The teacher I mentioned earlier though was just a jerk. He ended up fired. (Messing with my father is a BAD life choice.)
That’s some impressive pacing. My father told me that most trips would average 50 miles per hour, from leaving one motel to stopping at the next, and I’ve found that a great rule of thumb for decades.
Thank you for the compliment. I try to make sense!
And yeah, I do realize I won the “parent lottery.” My Mom is equal to my Dad. Both have always been supportive and protective, but never overbearing.
These teacher pukes would not have lasted 2 minutes if they pulled this stuff on me. Mom would have shredded them unless Dad got there first.
Feel sad for the bullied kid who did not have such support.
The school is 91.3% black, 6.4% white.

It is. Some of my children have my curly hair, but only one (oldest boy) has the color: started blonde, turned brown in 'teens, will go gray early. None has my early-onset nearsightedness, so far. (Three are still under 12.)
Several have "the Wright feet," which feature an extra-large big toe, but fortunately, none has "the Wright ears," which originated with my father's great-grandmother and were passed down to her TEN sons, who (in their picture) are all holding pistols or rifles and look like the Dalton gang on steroids.
My wife’s friend here in El Paso is thoroughly Mexican in her heritage, but somewhere in her family’s past there’s some Irish. She’s totally white with red hair, but she is Mexican. It’s pretty wild.
Guess you were “lucky” and “smart”. I did not put up with it either, I was very vocal. That was tough on my older brother.
That’s not unusual. Mexico is an immense genetic mixture, but somehow, dark-skinned people who seem completely Indio can have a child who looks just like one barely-remembered ancestor ... just like my husband and I got one Indian-looking child.
Prejudiced is when you do not touch a hot stove a second time.
I wonder what color the victim was.
The parents of the columbine massacre might disagree. Idiot
SOME bad government schools? I know, your schools are different.
