Cops: Principal hit his daughter

BY KATHLEEN MCGRORY

KMCGRORY@MIAMIHERALD.COM

A Broward County principal was arrested Saturday after police said he beat his teenage daughter with an extension cord.
Hallandale High School Principal Darren Jones, 42, surrendered at the main county jail in Fort Lauderdale.
He was charged with aggravated child abuse, a second-degree felony.
Jones is the second Broward principal to be arrested in the last two days.
On Friday, Coral Park Elementary Principal Amanda Miles was charged with drug possession. Police said they found marijuana in the bedroom of her Coral Springs home.
According to a police report, Jones used a power cord to strike his 16-year-old daughter on her arms, legs, back and hands on Jan. 9.
The girl sustained ``distinctive'' bruising and scaring, the report said.
A subsequent Child Protective Services investigation found the action to constitute ``extreme child abuse.''
Jones admitted to striking his daughter, said his attorney, Eric Schwartzreich.
He said the father intended to discipline the troubled girl.
``They're concerned parents trying to get their teenage daughter back on track,'' Schwartzreich said. ``This is a family matter, a parenting matter, not a criminal matter.''
Schwartzreich said Jones has cooperated with the investigation and turned the cord over to police.
Broward County schools officials could not be reached for comment late Saturday.
Jones became principal at Hallandale High less than two years ago. A longtime teacher and school administrator, he has won multiple education awards over the course of his career.


Looks like from news cast that she had been a problem and this was more of a last resort. What does BGOL think?

I can't call it. family matter. got to know how old she is and what she did.

 

[MaximusBlaque]

Ehh...It's not a family matter when you're leaving scars on your kid. I'm all for disciplining my kid and folks bet'n not say a damn word about it. But you can't go ham on a kid and mark them up and expect it to stay behind closed doors. ​

well my grandmother, grandfather, mother sister uncles and great grandpa would have all been in jail. Cause i know till this day i have flashbacks when i see extension cords

Belts leave welts too, are they also out?

It's a family matter

 

[followup]

wait....who is the other principal arrested for drug possession & how is she related to the man?

Now wait a minute: beating with an extension cord is a felony???? Dammit, my mother should have gotten life in prison for the ass whoopings I got I bet that lil girl won't act up any more...Dad come back like "I'll go to jail, get out, and whoop that ass again!!!"

damn you too? used to have flashbacks about those as well as dr scholls clogs and hot wheels racetrack sections

 

[kennysmith_se]

I grew up back in the day too and received many a whoppings. I now have two sons and would never strike my child like I was. All it teaches you is to be slicker with your shit. We can't justify stuff by comparing it too 15,20,30 years ago. Shit you could beat your wife and there wasn't much the law would do. Until the mid 70's you could force you wife to have sex. Different time calls for different solutions. Just my 2cents

 

[brown_joelewis]

I will beat that ass before I let some hood nigga beat that vagina............

I just read that DFACS took the 16 year old and his two other children from the home pending an investigation and he about to loose his job. Damn....

That's a good way of putting it. Most kids were good back then by comparison to today, and we got some vicious ass whuppings. I wonder if we were so good for fear of receiving that ass whipping? I say don't whip the good ones, and beat the shit out the bad ones.

I agree with that..plus beating is some left over from slavery shit anyway. I have all daughters and have never beat on them to get my point across. Raising a child is a 24hr a day job that has to be done with careful thought. If you teach the kid right from the get go and reinforce good values with love but also firmness and don't get side tracked with bullshit,,they will most likely want to do the right thing.A person need only remember how they felt as a kid to be able to handle them.. true sometimes shit happens,,but beating your kid when they are damn near grown is not gonna help...in fact any man that needs to beat a child is not even using his natural whit,size and nature to create a stable setting... a man can say sit down and shut up and listen and that is what will happen even if they don't like it.....but you have to always keep that balance going.. love them and teach them and punish only when it is just... beatings stem beatings and one day you will wake up and find yourself locked the fuck up for killing a mofo for whooping on your kids because you taught them that is how is suppose to be....if your kids are fucked up its your own damn fault...my 2cents.......

 

[redemption]

Every time I see the words Hot Wheels, all I think of is those fucking racetracks. Cant stand those yellow plastic fuckers...

Fuck Hot Wheels man, seriously! Fuck EM

thats what that fool gets

Dude should get jail time

Come on....a fucking extension cord...on a 16 year old at that?

How is that preparing her for adulthood which she will reach in two years?

This principal is using outdated disciplinary methods on a conventional teen.

If his parenting skills were adequate throughout the 15 previous years of her life, he would not have to resort to those barbarian tactics.

I wonder if he makes her drink from the "black water fountain" or sit at the black of the bus as well..

Old fashioned fool......

 

[vandamation]

What did she put on her Facebook wall that cause him to bust that ass???...

 

[MadWun]

well my grandmother, grandfather, mother sister uncles and great grandpa would have all been in jail. Cause i know till this day i have flashbacks when i see extension cords

I mostly got whoopings from my mom and dad. My dad's line was "Go get my belt"

I've been whooped with belts, canes, gas hoses, cords, you name it. That's the problem today: No corporal punishment so the kids do not fear shit.

wait....who is the other principal arrested for drug possession & how is she related to the man?

Man...It was bad for me. I do something, my mom whips me, and then tells my dad when he gets back, more whippings.

Even in school we got whipped. Again that is what many of these kids need.

I understand you cannot "go ham" and inflict major bodily harm, but enough to make them think twice before acting up or doing something stupid.

 

[DragonXJC]

I guess my parents are known felons lol

 

[MadWun]

I guess the Principal was getting cues from that video that was going around in the last 2 weeks.

naw, homie

thats not the problem

The problems are broken homes, amoral media influence, and parents who have to work more than they should.

I recieved ass whippings growing up as well.

They never made me "fear" anything.

Beating your children means that you lack adequate parenting skills.

People dont like being told that they lack parenting skills because a parent sees himself/herself as the absolute ruler of the child.

c/s.. Now that wasn't they only way they punished me but back then we didn't have cable, playstation, alot of toys ect. There wasn't much to take away back in the day plus I had a mouth. I would rather get the ass whuppin then listen to them talk. Yes I got popped in the mouth a few times. Oh the memories.

 

[jokekofi]

I caught clothes hangers, belts, canes, water hoses, and even the flat side of a machete. Trust me. I am a model citizen now with no single arrest, no speeding ticket. etc.

Man these kids in America. My son knows what's up though. Catholic schools in Africa was the discipline hole. I grew up in the Principal's office. My ears were always being pulled for doing everything wrong. I decided to change and live up to my potential after starting poorly.


My mom wd beat you till u got the point.

 

[Mac4L1ph3]

okay she's 16. so what did she do.

(or should I just go ahead and get ready to facepalm because there is evidence on a facebook page somewhere)

 

[mk23666]

FaceBook page probably had attention whoring pics most likely.

And with all of the FaceBook pics up in here ... you probably have seen the pics that set him off.

 

[MadWun]

For me, the fear of getting an ass whooping made me think twice before doing stupid stuff.

I do get your points though.

 

[TE-Que]

I hope they let this shit ride because the father was doing his part to get his child back in line and whooping her was the last resort. This is a family matter period, nothing for the courts or media to decide.

I Agree 100%!!!!
PD

 

[the artist]

It's a Family Matter. "......spare the rod........"
I'd rather whoop that ass now than to have El Diablo whoopin on that ass later on in life.

 

[Rukus]

yeah it is a family matter.. that is why kids are the way they are now... the government is too involved in family issues such as discipline...

I'd rather whoop that ass now than to have El Diablo whoopin on that ass later on in life.

and my mom always told use that growing up... that she'd rather whoop us to set up straight rather than we get older and get in them streets.. and the COPS are whooping us... its simple.. her logic is proving correct everyday... the ppl I grew up around that didnt have that upbringing are all either in jail, dead from doing ignorant shyt, or out of jail on papers still doing ignorant shyt...

 

[The Dark Mind]

I'm sorry, but I'm hearing a lot of bullshit in here.

It's wrong to whip a child with an extension cord. Period.

An extension cord is is made up of leather and rubber with metal wiring inside.

It's basically a whip.

We all scream how bad it was for whites to whip us blacks when we were slaves with whips,

but you now condone basically doing the same thing...TO CHILDREN.


Bullshit doesn't make no fucking sense.

Look, if you want to discipline your child...

Belts - ok
Switches - ok
paddles - ok

However...

Whips, chains, extension cords, coat hangers...

NO.

As much as I agree with this statement, sixteen years of age should've required a consent form of release. Or state property. No cord is going to straighten up no child past 12. The principle was enjoying that shit.

 

[oolong tea]

Beating your children means that you lack the patience to acquire adequate parenting skills.

People dont like being told that they lack parenting skills because a parent sees himself/herself as the absolute ruler of the child.

Fuck it, I'll accept it. Now hand me the belt. What you've highlighted in red may apply to anyone, including you, with or without using tools of "attitude adjustment"

ok so you say its ok to use belts which are made of leather (well mines have been)... switches, which leave big ass welts on the body and if swung with enuff force can remove skin like a whip... but no to extension cords... cant be with some and not the others...


and why do ppl constantly bring up slavery when they talk about whoopings.. do ppl seriously think that whoopings became popular amongst our ppl only after they were brought over here on ships... u think parents didnt discipline their kids until 1555....

did yall know that the way killer whales discipline their young is by tooth scratching which inflicts pain to the child so they know what not to do next time.... did they learn it from watching the slave masters beat the hapless slaves... this discipline thing is a natural thing....

Truth be told, it is not okay to use anything to beat on a kid. As it has been said, it comes down to parenting.

I look back today, and wonder if it was really necessary to whoop on me with belts, canes, switches, hoses and such

I have a 6 year old daughter, and I have rarely laid a hand on her, maybe spank her hand at the most. Some kids do need more spankings, but for the most part, it comes down to parenting skills and other forms of punishment to handle kids today.

Did this principal take it to the extreme using an extension chord? I will say yes he did.
