An English teacher in Alba County was found guilty of abusive behavior after choking a 14-year-old student during class. He was fined 6,000 lei but continues to teach. The incident occurred on December 12, 2024, when the teacher reacted violently after the student asked a classmate for help with an earring. Surveillance footage showed the teacher grabbing the student by the neck and pushing him against a wall. The court deemed the physical abuse unacceptable, regardless of the student's behavior. The teacher acknowledged his actions and expressed regret, leading to a reduced penalty. The student's mother did not pursue civil claims, and the boy continues to attend English classes with the same teacher.
