A father is facing charges after police say that he went into a classroom and confronted a student. He then instructed the teen to give his daughter an apology, authorities say.

38-year-old Aaron Thomas was charged with simple assault and threatening to punch and knock out a student. He also faces charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. This comes after the incident which was captured on a recording and has now gone viral.

In the video, Thomas is observed going into the classroom at Paulsboro High School in New Jersey. He then walked up to a teenage boy and demanded that he apologize to his daughter. Additionally, the father pulled another student’s arm after the student urged him to fight, documents state.

“You got a problem with my daughter?” the man questioned the teen. “Apologize to my daughter.”

“I didn’t do nothing to her,” the student responded.

“You heard what the f— I said. Apologize to my daughter now,” the father repeated again.

Reports show that the father had gone to the school to take his daughter out. However, instead of doing that, he went and approached the other student.

The district has stated that they are now working with the police as an investigation is continuing.

The Paulsboro School District superintendent, Roy Dawson III, commented on the matter.

“Safety and security of our staff and students is paramount. Unfortunate situations such as these give us an opportunity to reflect and analyze current practices to further strengthen the district safety and security procedures to ensure that our schools are a safe place for all students and staff,” he said.

  1. It sounds to me like they left out alot of details. This man went up to the school to defend his daughter like all parents would. Especially since we know the school does nothing about bullying, and usually coddles the student being the bully.

  2. Good to see a father that actually cares about a child he fathered however this is a terrible example of how to handle a bully.
