But... this mom is a moron. If she was there and didn't intervene, that gives the administrators implied consent, regardless of what she signed. And if she was really worried about the kid, stop the paddling. If someone was going to do something I perceived that would harm one of my kids, I'd deal with that problem first and worry about the fallout later.

I can understand her hesitation though given the whole situation.

This wasn't me or you...this was a woman free on bond, worried about losing her job and her kid being told by the school they would suspend him and that would affect her and the child.

If I felt helpless to stop it I'd do the same and try to document it and then make my case when I was out of the situation.
