Maestra denounces the violence against a child: punished by the principal

She noticed that one of her students had bruises on her legs, as well as showing suspicious behavior as frequent crying in the classroom. At that point the teacher, who teaches in an elementary school in the province of Pavia, first reported the case to the head of the institute. Subsequently, he independently decided to contact the police. At that point the principal did not like. He suspended the teacher for a day (unpaid), for violating the secrecy of office and causing image damage to the school. The story, which took place in the last school year, is reported today by the newspaper La Provincia Pavese.

The teacher, rightly, turned to the Court of Pavia. The judge Donatella Oneto, invited the new head teacher to revoke the suspension and to return the failed salary to the teacher. The manager he had adopted is no longer operational. The judge also updated the hearing in December.
