Excessive School Force

We had no idea that CPS had a Use of Force policy!

  • A special education assistant at a South Side elementary school has been charged with aggravated battery of a child after prosecutors said she placed an 8-year-old student in a chokehold and threw him to the lunchroom floor, causing serious injuries.

    Tamika Odeh, 44, is charged with aggravated battery of a child younger than 13 causing great bodily harm in connection with an incident at Parker Elementary School, 6800 South Stewart Avenue in Englewood.

    In a detention petition, prosecutors said Odeh placed the 8-year-old student in a chokehold and threw him to the ground on November 3 while inside the school. The boy struck his head on a chair, suffering what prosecutors described as “serious neck injuries” that required medical treatment at a hospital.

Of course, she was released on no bail. 

Amusingly, this was revealed in the Arrest Report:

  • In an unrelated note, the CPD arrest report listed a home address for Odeh in suburban Oak Lawn. With limited exceptions, all CPS employees hired on or after November 20, 1996, must live in the city of Chicago within six months of becoming school district employees. An individual familiar with the matter told CWB Chicago that Odeh lists a Chicago address in her CPS personnel file.

We'll bet the Inspector General will be all over that residency discrepancy.

That last comment didn't belong in the arrest report. More proper to put in case report with a note that the Inspector General was notified on such and such date and time.

Arrest reports only need the probable cause for arrest, not the entire investigation. The investigation goes on the case report.

Too many though cut and paste one to the other. Old sergeant use to say, make the defense attorney earn his money by having to read both reports.

Ever notice how a detective's arrest report is so concise? Why should a PO's then be so lengthy? Learn to write.

I believe special education teachers are exempt from residency. That’s why they all get certified.

You’re assuming that it was listed in the narrative. Your comment also makes you sound like a pompous detective.

Mz Tamika replaced Miss Canfield and Miss Landers. They fled and who could blame them. The fictional town of Mayfield has become the very real ghetto of Biffville.

My second grade Lay teacher hit me so hard knocked my out of the chair. I've been hit with baseball bats and more than my share of fights, but I never remember getting harder than that. Catholic school.

Going to the choke hold only happens when you are losing the fight, happens with us too.

Are you truly that dense? Of course, the arrestee's home address is listed in the arrest report. Where else would it go? Dunderhead!

If the media gets it wrong when police use force, they probably get it wrong when anyone else uses force.

In MSM, sensationalism supersedes truth.

If she is a teacher she could have applied for a waiver. As a teacher/classroom or one on one aide she must reside in the city. As CPD assigned to the school unit over 20 + years pretty hard to get fired and put on the do not hire list. Same when students who are from outside the city attend select enrollment schools leave but never pay out of district tuition.

If the police had done this all hell would've broken loose, marches, protests, demands for termination. I recall a copper on the south side get arrested for defending a teacher a year or so ago.

Just tell her to apply at Queen of Martyrs in Evergreen Park. If they’ll hire child molesters, she will surely get a job there!

Seems like 99% or more are completely mentally ill. Most are dei and looney left worshippers. Isn't it a requirement these days?

My mom told each teacher, in front of me, that if I behaved bad enough to be hit, they weren't to touch me. Rather, call her and she would come and beat me in front of the whole class. They weren't permitted to touch me ever, but she could. Guess who didn't cause much trouble? 😁. Worked with my siblings too.

In the small print it sez, "...and if you live close to the city, pay your CTU union dues, and vote Democrat you're ok". So, no worries - the suburbs are fine.

Um, the teacher who hid the gun in the folds of her belly snuck it into the south side ballpark, not Wrigley.
