An East Point charter school student was suspended for five days amid an investigation into a video recording of students inside a bathroom stall, officials said.
Davion Lewis, executive director for The Rise Schools, told Channel 2 Action News the student who took the video of two fellow students inside a bathroom stall is 13 years old. The student’s name was not released.
One of the victims’ mothers told Channel 2 that a suspension isn’t good enough.
“I feel like a suspension is a smack on the hand,” Kiniya Harper said. “Based on the severity of the infraction, he should be expelled.”
The student sent the video to at least eight other students, and they’ve all been forced to delete it, Lewis said. Harper said she hopes that’s the truth, but she wants to make sure the video isn’t still out there somewhere.
“I was told they made the students erase the video, but I don’t know who it was sent to (or) if somebody else still has a copy of the video,” Harper said.
Harper has filed a police report, and East Point police are also investigating the matter, the news station reported.
