Jorge Alvarado-Barbosa, cafeteria janitor at Chester Community Charter School, charged with assault after punching eight year old boy in the face on playground.
SHOCK: Jorge Alvarado-Barbosa, a janitor at Chester Community Charter School, has been accused of punching an eight year old student in the mouth on the playground during recess earlier this week. This is crazy, a janitor picking on a child? Thankfully the incident was caught on video surveillance, but the school didn't bother calling the police right away. According to
Philly.com the school did not even bother notifying the child's father of the incident. They sent him home with a bleeding and swollen lip. That is bad. The nurse from the school should have been notified about the incident, along with a phone call from the school to the police department and the parents of the child.
Police said that about 11:30 a.m. Monday, the third-grader was sitting on an outdoor wall when he was approached by Jorge Alvarado-Barbosa, 18, a cafeteria janitor, who muttered something about putting the boy's brother in a headlock.
When the boy said he didn't care, Alvarado-Barbosa grabbed both of the boy's arms in one hand, and swatted or punched him with the other, police said.
In a written statement, the school's chief executive, Steven Lee, said a teacher was in the area when the altercation occurred and reported it to the principal. "The principal, subsequently, initiated a phone call, through the student's brother, to alert the children's father," Lee wrote. But May said that call didn't come until more than four hours after the alleged assault. Source: Philly.com
It seems that this school has had incidents of this nature before. According to
Delcotimes, com, the boy's teacher was fired after she hit a student. The janitor has been charged with aggravated assault and related offenses and was terminated from his job at the school, police said. This is bad. Really bad. Barbosa was remanded to Delaware County prison in lieu of 10 percent of $5,000 bail. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for next week in Brookhaven District Court.
