Pregnant Mom Punches Kindergarten Teacher in Face
Don't mess with a pregnant woman! If she says you choked her 5-year-old in class, you'd better admit it and then hope you can outrun her.
Gabriela Dominguez Ugarte said that her 5-year-old son, Vincent Anthony Ugarte, told her last week that his teacher, David M. Svetlecic, had choked him. Ugarte went to the East Austin school to file a complaint against Svetlecic at 8 a.m. on Friday, and Principal Freda C. Mills met with Ugarte and Svetlecic in her office, according to the affidavit. Svetlecic denied choking Ugarte’s son several times, the affidavit said.

“Suddenly, without provocation, Svetlecic says Ugarte punched him in the left side of his head with a closed right fist one time,” the affidavit said. The attack left Svetlecic with several scratches to his left ear and redness on the left side of his neck. Ugarte, who is two months pregnant, was charged with assault of a public servant, a felony. She was released from jail on bond.
Reached by phone this afternoon, Ugarte said that she had lost her job as a caregiver when news of the incident spread. She said Svetlecic denied choking her son but admitted to shaking him. She said hitting Svetlecic at that point was a “mother’s instinct.” “All of this could have been prevented if the principal had done something,” Ugarte said. “This guy choked my son. My baby could have died.”

Suddenly, without provocation? Yeah, I see people all the time just swing out on other people for no reason. Come on what's the real story.
Good for her! She doesn't belong on the Dumbass Daily, the teacher does! If more parents stood up for their children in school then they might have an actual chance to get an education.
Another case of a very low class illegal immigrant wasting tax payer money by filling up our schools and legal system. Next on the list is free health care for all illegals.
"Svetlecic denied choking her son but admitted to shaking him"
If another adult did something like that to my son they'd have a lot more than a few scratches. I only fault the mother in that she only got in a punch or two, but she was pregnant.
I'm a little late on the comments...but I have to agree. If the teacher admitted to shaking my child, the teacher probably wouldn't have made it to school the morning after I'd found out. And guess what...I'm a teacher. I think it's absurd that a teacher in2009 would dare even touch a child unless it was just absolutely mandatory, I would even get another teacher to witness if I had to help a five year old blow his nose!!!
