NYC gym teacher claims 6-year-old student beat him up
 

At 5-foot-10 and 220 pounds, gym teacher John Webster is not a slight figure. But the former college football player claims a 50-pound, 6-year-old student physically assaulted him and sent him into therapy.

The New York Post reports that Webster fractured his ankle and injured his knee, all at the hands of 4-foot-2 Rodrigo Carpio. Walker says he now has to wear a brace on his right leg.

"It's sort of like an angel-devil sort of thing," Webster, 27, said of Rodrigo. The boy "looks like an angel, but then, all of a sudden, that halo turns into horns. It's been a nightmare. It's embarrassing. It's humiliating."

And there's reportedly more than just the incident with Webster. Rodrigo, a first-grader at PS 330 in Queens, also allegedly kicked the school principal and pinched several other individuals, including a school security officer.

Webster told the Post that the confrontation started when he was escorting several students to the school cafeteria.

"I tried to hold his wrists, and he began biting me,'' Webster said. "I took him to the principal's office, and he kicked me in the ankle, and one kick landed right on my knee. I felt a pop.''

Lawyer Andrew Siben, who is representing Webster, described Rodrigo as a "tiny terror."

"It's sad that teachers like Mr. Webster are not offered protection from someone who can endanger other teachers and students," Siben told the paper.

However, Rodrigo's parents say the allegations are ridiculous.

"The lawsuit is totally absurd," said the boy's father, Jorge Carpio, 44. "How could my little boy do so much damage?"

"This is a terrible thing to say [about] a child," said his mom, Josefa Marcia.

Give him the chair.

Lol, and the award for the biggest pussy in the universe goes to...

I am 6'2 205 and in good shape, but when my daughter "attacks" me when we are playing some awkward stuff happens especially around the knee areas.


If that little bastard kicked him in the right spot, it could absolutely screw his knee up.

I agree. If the ground can rupture a knee, so can a well placed kick, even from a kid.

Hint to Rodrigo's parents: When your little evil spawn is accused of hitting, kicking, biting and other anti-social behaviour, don't release a picture of your child in a fighting pose to the press. It doesn't help your case.

Kid will be a stellar MMA fighter someday.

Or an inmate.

"I tried to hold his wrists, and he began biting me,'' Webster said. "I took him to the principal's office, and he kicked me in the ankle, and one kick landed right on my knee. I felt a pop.''



That shit ****ing hurts. He and his parents deserve punishment. I don't feel sorry for the little shit if he and his parents have to pay. The kid needs discipline to learn respect.

The guy maybe big, but if he did anything he would be the one getting in trouble.

I'm guessing the gym teacher knew that if he fought the kid he would have been fired and put in jail.

I don't see the humor in it. The kid is crap from a crap family.

This...

I taught in in public schools for 12 years before going back to graduate school and finishing my doctorate...

The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when a 90 lb skinny girl about scratched my eyes out...And I am a big man - well over 6' and 230 lb.

Seriously, I knew if I fought her I was going to be in big trouble. I turned in my resignation the next day.

Yeah, the parents saying, "It's a terrible thing to say about a child," tells me they have no clue.

Never underestimate both the strength and the wickedness of a midget.

Imagine being overwhelmed by dozens of those little bastards. Oh, my God.

Bring him in, try him at nose tackle.
The kid, I mean.

why would you let a kid with disciplinary problems pose for a picture like that? talk about glorifying a serious issue. he's going to be thug scum when he grows up

It's the NY Post, I'm surprised they didn't blame it on Chiefs fans.

Bring him in?

you beat me to it:)

when I was a kid, I'd have kicked that kids ass/ CP

I hate the media's spin on this, this could have easily happened to anyone in the teacher's position.
