According to the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, Nicole Staples, a 2nd grade teacher at Cottage Hill Christian Academy, was charged with willful abuse of a child under 18 Wednesday evening.
The video shows her outside of school striking the child over 20 times before pulling him by his hair.
Cottage Hill said in a release that Staples was fired following her arrest, “in accordance with institutional policy.”
Staples was named co-Teacher of the Year by the school in May, according to social media posts that have been deleted.
