Teen facing assault and battery charges for throwing a carrot at her school teacher.

The mother of a 14-year-old girl says her child is facing
assault and battery charges for throwing a baby carrot
at her school teacher.
The teen was leaving class when she spotted a former
teacher of hers in the hallway of Moody Middle School
in Henrico County, Virginia. She reached into her pocket
and tossed a leftover carrot from lunch at the teacher,
which hit the woman in the forehead, according to
WTVR.
The student has been suspended from school for a
month.
In school documents, administrators claim that the
carrot was used as a weapon, but the girl maintains that
the root veggie toss was meant as a joke.
"I don't even know how to combat the stupidity,"
the girl's mother, Karrie May, told CBS 6.
The school's disciplinary review board sent the family a
letter trying to get the girl to admit guilt, but they
declined. Now, they are awaiting a summons to see
what's next.
Todd Stone, a legal expert says that the firmness of the
carrot could affect the case.
"If it's a soft carrot, it may not be as offensive,”
Stone says, “But if it's a raw carrot, you don't
have to have an injury or show you were hurt to
prove a battery."
Well...don't throw things at your teacher and you wont
get into this kind of trouble.
