Teacher Arrested For Pulling 12-year-old Student’s Hair during altercation

By • June 4, 2022 • Schools Gist

A teacher at Connecticut Magnet School has been reportedly arrested for allegedly pulling the hair of a 12-year-old student.

The teacher is said to have pulled the student’s hair last week, marking the fourth teacher arrested in the district since November, according to reports.

Police responded to a reported assault at the King/Robinson Inter-district Magnet School in New Haven around 3:45 p.m. Feb. 1.

During their investigation, officers said the student accused her teacher of pulling her by her hair, according to WTNH.

Jennifer Wells-Jackson, a 49-year-old veteran school teacher, was charged with risk of injury to a minor and second-degree breach of peace.

Video appears to show the teacher holding onto 12-year-old Destinique James’ hair behind her as several other students scream around her before she lets go.

The student was not seriously injured and declined medical attention, police said.

Destine said: “There’s certain things you say and there’s certain things you don’t say, there’s certain things you do and certain things you’re not supposed to do especially when dealing with people’s children. At the end of the day, there’s no justification for putting your hands on someone’s child.”

“New Haven Public Schools officials said the district takes the safety of its students very seriously, and that the district is fully cooperating with the investigation”.

Wells-Jackson was released on a $20,000 bond and is expected to appear in court this week.
