Florida Teacher's Aide Shares Powerful Words Ahead of Student's Sentencing
The Florida teacher's aide who was attacked by a student in a viral video is speaking out about her recovery and the challenges she has faced since the incident. Joan Naydich suffered multiple injuries, including broken ribs and a severe concussion. She has not watched the video and has no plans to do so. The attack occurred because another staff member would not allow the student to play a Nintendo Switch, contrary to initial reports. Naydich has faced financial struggles and is frustrated with the lack of support from the Flagler County school district. The student, Brendan Depa, who is considered a special needs student, is facing a first-degree felony charge and could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison.
