[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guy has been a principal at many schools for many years. He’s not dumb or malicious enough to purposely stomp on a kid’s foot in a crowded cafeteria with cameras. The camera angle was probably weird and the child cried out of fear. [/quote]
I haven't seen the video (neither have any of us on here).  I suppose it's possible that the stomping was an accident.  If the child was sitting (which they were), with their legs and feet out, and Winter was standing very close to the child, it's possible that he himself was throwing a tantrum while being angry, and stomped his foot, accidentally making contact with the child's foot.  I could see him stomping his foot as he yells.  I know he yells a lot - my kid had him at Barnsley.

So, in that case, there's no intent, but, it still seems ridiculous for Winter to be stomping his foot in anger, like a petulant child.

At best, he will be fired, with a misdemeanor charge. At worst, a felony second degree assault charge.[/quote]

There is no such thing in Maryland as a "felony second degree assault charge." Second degree assault is a misdemeanor, albeit one that carries potentially ten years in jail. Slapping someone and beating them quite badly can both be the misdemeanor of second degree assault. Unless he stomped the foot badly enough that it was permanently impaired or lost (which seems exceedingly unlikely), there's no possible felony assault here.[/quote]
