Which, along with witnesses, provided enough evidence for the Montgomery County DA to charge this principal with an assault on a child. No matter who called police first. Sometimes people you know and work for do awful things. It’s not too late to face facts and stop caping for this individual, despite your personal experience.

Lol, from your posts on various social media platforms, I know exactly who you are. It's common knowledge that you have a personal issue with him. Get a grip and go spend time with your family lmao

So you trolled this person's past posts to find out if they were who you think they are? Sounds a little mental to me. Maybe it's you who needs to go spend time with family. The evidence speaks for itself. People do not yank children down by their clothes to sit down and then stomp on their feet by accident. From my personal experience with this man, he has an extreme temper-both with children and adults-even his own family, which we heard him screaming at over the phone to one day from his office. He is unhinged. My only thoughts now are for the child he hurt. How confusing would it be to have someone who is supposed to be a trusted adult, yank you down to sit in a seat, stomp on you, and then put their arm around you to be "friends" again. The trauma and confusion that child must be feeling right now is terrible.

I find it extremely disturbing to read apologists from people who talk about what a great guy someone is as if that means they couldn't possibly be guilty of an assault.
It is the hallmark of abusers to have a public and a private face. If abusers were obviously terrible all the time, no one would get close enough to them to be abused. Some of the worst abusers have created terrific public personas..hell BTK was an active church member.

They have the assault on video, so there is no question he stomped on the kids foot. No child deserves that treatment.

Was stomping on the foot an accident though? Former MCPS teacher here and kids have accidentally stepped on my foot and I've accidentally stepped on theirs as well. No one ever called the police because of it...

Also, I've worked with him in another school and do not see him as a "super creep" from my perspective as a woman, but maybe we've had different experiences.

The news articles describe it as STOMPING not stepping. A grown man doing that to a first grader!

Nobody would waste resources prosecuting a principal on a career-ending charge unless the video showed decisive proof that it was assault.

Unbiased individuals usually don't describe accidentally stepping on someone's foot as "stomping" on it.

Perhaps it would be in everyone's interest to release the video footage.

So the Court of DCUM can render a verdict and recommend sentencing.

+100

The apologists are terrifying.

My child goes to Richie Park, and I’ve heard enough stories from other parents about Winter screaming at them that the only thing I’m somewhat surprised at is how public this incident was.

But he also has a group of parents who seem to love him. And he was super charming with some people.

This. I’m not sure why his supporters can’t wrap their brains around that. The resting officer, who has no connection to the assistant principal, Described it as a “stomp” in his report. Question for all of Andrew‘s best friends: Would you be OK with a grown man stopping on your five-year-old foot? Especially one paid to be a leader and model to other educators? Didn't think so. This man felt comfortable doing it because he didn’t think anyone was looking. But there is a video and there are other students who reported it.

I am neither. Do you know him or have you worked with him personally? If so, what gives you the right to think you speak for all of us? You don't. Maybe it was an accident, maybe it wasn't. Neither of us were there. I do know that calling the police for stepping on someone's foot is extreme. When was the last time you called the police for that? I'll wait.

The AP called the police because her husband is the school resource officer for the school. She should have followed protocol and reported it to CPS instead of calling her husband.

It really doesn’t matter who she called because the arresting officer (not her husband btw) viewed the footage and saw what he saw which was incriminating.

Exactly this. It's not MCPS protocol to immediately call the police for something like this. This sounds like it was a personal vendetta against him. She needs to be investigated as well.


He is not the school resource officer for the school.

I work at the school. I know what happened. I even saw the video which is inconclusive of a stomp on the child’s foot. Plus even if he did land on his foot there is no evidence of intent. They have destroyed him and our school is truly suffering.
