“I was told that he said some words that were inappropriate for TJ and that he made some comments about me and my son was unhappy with that,” Chenelle Russell told the outlet.
TJ and Elder, who is also the school’s football coach, exchanged several words with each other before footage of the altercation was shown in which the teacher grabbed the 11-year-old’s chest.
