ANOTHER student choked by an Educator/Administrator in the Volusia County public school system in Deland! Our office already represents middle-school student Jayquan Hightower, choked by a male teacher in early 2021. In that case the school hid the video footage from the parnt, but thankfully another student captured it on cellphone video (see that case on our High Profile Cases page). Then, despite having notice and video footage of that incident, Volusia County Schools had yet another incident caught on cellphone video by a student when an ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL choked this high school girl, Kaniya Smiley!

Video: Asst. Principal choking student Kaniya



WHAT HAPPENED??
And What Can YOU Do To Help?



Kaniya is a girl attending Deland High School in Deland, Florida. This is also the place where she was choked by the Assistant Principal. Thankfully other students captured it on video, because we've dealt with the Volusia County school


Like kids often do, Kaniya and another student had a verbal disagreement. Deland High School Asst. Principal decided to take matters into his own hands, literally, by choking Kaniya. And he would not let go. She told him he was hurting her. She would not let go. It was only after another Administrator ran upstairs to where he was choking Kaniya and made him release her that he let go. Other students saw it. Thankfully, at least one recorded it because this school system has a history of hiding and fighting to not disclose video to parent of physical misconduct by its employees on these kids at school.
