YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Florida parents are calling for the arrest of a local pastor who allegedly whipped their fourth-graders with a belt at a private religious school.

The furious moms and dads claim man-of-the-cloth Terence Gray entered the classroom where their 9- and 10-year-olds were at St. Mark’s AME Church’s Alpha Learning Academy in Orlando on Thursday afternoon demanding to know which students were misbehaving.

Gray allegedly demanded that the children stand up and admit to bad behavior.

It’s unclear if any did, but the students’ teacher eventually outed the reputed misbehaving pupils and forced them to stand up, according to WFTV.

The pastor is accused of then taking off his belt and giving three lashes each to more than a dozen students — leaving some with bruises on their legs.

He said he was going to whoop us with a belt because we were being bad,” student Shane Walker told WFTV.

The boy’s mother, Janesha Martin, said she was “very emotional” when she heard what happened.

“I don’t send my child to school to be abused by anyone,” she said, adding, “The pastor should have been arrested last night!”
