  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Police were alerted to the incident after a school safety officer heard a 'frantic' announcement from a teacher over the school's radio system about a fight outside the cafeteria. Police said Riddle's daughter walked out of her way through the cafeteria to engage the victim in a fight.

Witnesses told police that Riddle's daughter initially pushed the victim to the ground and hit her. Riddle then allegedly also began punching the victim who was lying on the ground. One witness told investigators Riddle had a boxing glove attached to her hand

Riddle allegedly told police the boxing glove was glued to her wrist and she couldn't remove it. The student, who suffered abrasions to her knees and forearms in the fight, was taken to hospital by her parents for a follow-up evaluation.

The victim's parent told police they wanted to pursue criminal charges. Riddle was arrested and charged with one count of child abuse with personal/special weapon.

...Riddle allegedly told police the boxing glove was glued to her wrist and she couldn't remove it.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

The unsettling thing about her behavior is the absence of fear. She assaulted a child on school property with boxing gloves. There’s an obvious ending for that choice. And they double teamed her!

There is so much red neck stuff that goes on in Florida... At least that place provides fodder for the Morning Zoo radio shows I use to listen to on my commute back home from working over night.

I agree this is definitely child abuse. I'm glad she has been arrested.

However, the boxing glove was the less damaging choice over bare-knuckles punches.
