Hulking 6'6’’ boy, 17, who 'viciously beat his teaching aide unconscious' is held on $1 MILLION bond, will be charged as an adult and faces up to 30 years in prison - after being arrested THREE times for battery in 2019
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Brendan Depa, 17, can be named for the first time after the Seventh Judicial Court of Florida ruled that he would be transferred to adult court

  • He is facing an aggravated battery charge after he allegedly attacked Joan Naydich, 57, at Mantanzas High School on February 21

  • The teenager 'threw the teaching assistant onto the floor before repeatedly punching and kicking her '
A GoFundMe for the teacher has raised nearly $60,000.
"I don't wanna go to jail!... I got more important places to be!"
Documents seen by DailyMail.com show Depa was charged with battery three times in 2019 before the attack this month. He previously completed a Department of Juvenile Justice program. Sheriff Staly supported the decision to charge him as an adult in the latest incident.

According to Fox there used to be a school dedicated to troubled teens in Flagler County, for pupils who struggled to function in a traditional classroom environment. That included those who had been convicted of a crime, or were considered too violent to attend classes on traditional campuses. But Flagler County voters failed to pass a 50-cent property tax levy to pay for the school back in 2013.

Sheriff Staly added: 'We had a school resource officer assigned to that mini-school if you will, and that's been eliminated.

'Maybe this is something the district should look at.'
