Bronx Teacher Breaks Up School Fight

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Earlier today, a Bronx teacher was arrested after using his belt to break up a fight between two students. Pedro Molano, 54, saw the kids fighting, removed his belt and began whipping them to stop the scuffle.

The ages of the children were undisclosed, but the the school only teaches pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. This means that the children could only have been ten- or eleven-years-old, tops.

Molano was charged with two counts of assault and reassigned to a different school. He may face further disciplinary action depending on the results of the trial.

How is Molano's use of his belt any different that the police drawing guns on suspects? We commend his fastactions preventing the two kids involvedfrompossibly hurting each other.

I appreciate the actions of the teacher he did not take sides but gave both students a much needed whipping. If more parents would take the same actions with ther children... and not give the system and police so much power over their children we would all do what the Lord has told us to do "Don't Spare The Rod"... converts to "I love you". Parents, discipline your kids. Let them know you care about the things they do. Stop the bullying.

And they wonder why our children are messed up...that was probably the only time these kids will ever be reprimanded by a male figure in their lives...

Out of the two one has a lasting impression on him that will help him on the road to success...

Spankings are what minority children need more of... I applaud him.
