Michael Bert Polk, a former police officer that is now a teacher, was accused of abusing a 6-year-old girl. He has been charged with criminal mistreatment and third-degree assault. He pleaded not guilty, but decided to change his plea and a new hearing has been scheduled for March 20th. Polk teaches social studies and science at Parrish Middle School. The girl he hit several times in the face with his hand, had several bruises and a black eye. This incident did not occur at the school. He has been on paid leave since he abused the 6-year-old girl and has been working at the school since 2010.
This is awful! Your supposed to be able to trust teachers to take care of your children, not abuse them. When I have children, I will be a bit worried to send them to school, because of people like this.

I think that since the teacher was being abusive that he should not be on paid leave instead he should just get fired and thrown in jail.
