#JusticeForJayquan #NotOneMoreKid
(See the Video Below)

Choking the black kid for several feet is how the teacher decided to break up a fight between two black and white middle-school kids! A white teacher Mr. Matthew Cindric choked black middle-school kid Jayquan at Deland Middle School to the point where other middle-school students ran to the scene, recorded, and even yelled out that Jayquan was about to pass out!
Still, Mr. Cindric did not let go.

This full grown man Mr. Cindric didn't stop his chokehold (choking from behind) on Jayquan until another male teacher intervened and made him let Jayquan go. Mr. Cindric had actually lifted this kid from the ground in the chokehold.


Deland Middle School and the School Board in Volusia County, FL, then tried to cover for Mr. Cindric, refusing for MONTHS to even let Jayquan's mother see their tape of the choking. Thankfully, one of the kids who taped it gave the family the footage you'll see below. We had to file in Court to get the School Board to release the video, but the day we filed and emailed the School Board a copy while preparing to officially serve them, the Board responded that they'd show us the footage. However, when we arrived (with Attorney Rawsi driving four hours ONE WAY from Miami), all they showed was a one-minute CLIP they'd cut from the full video, refused to show the entire footage, refused to zoom in or out, or for their Legal Counsel to talk with Attorney Williams or approve the Security Chief to zoom in or show the full footage. They cut off the video where it showed another male teacher running to intervene while Mr. Cindric was at that point still choking Jayquan. Mind you, this was not the same spot where Mr. Cindric STARTED choking Jayquan. You see, Mr. Cindric did not stay in one place. He choked Jayquan across the school yard for several feet.


Despite their video and written witness statements, the School refused to discipline Mr. Cindric.


This all started from a white kid starting a fight with Jayquan. The day before, Jayquan was told the kid intended to fight him, and Jayquan reported it to the school. However, the School refused to intervene, and the next day the kid did exactly what he threatened to do. But please know we have NO issue with the middle-school white kid in this situation. He too is a child. The issue is with the grown man adult male teacher choking Jayquan from behind and refusing to let go, taking him several feet across the schoolyard in this chokehold, triggering other little middle-school aged children to watch him choking this black kid, as his way of breaking up a fight between kids!


And Jayquan himself has come from a very troubled home, in which his mother has been incarcerated many times.
He and his Mom live with his grandmother.
This kid has had a bad road in life.
But THIS time, he tried to do the right thing.
THIS time he went to School officials beforehand and reported the threat.
And the result......he got put in a chokehold by a full grown white male teacher who choked him several feet across the courtyard in front of other kids, until another male teacher made him let Jayquan go. This cannot happen again....not one more kid We wonder if Mr. Cindric would have just let Jayquan pass out if the adult male teacher had not intervened? After all, the cries of the children to him weren't enough.
.
Watch The Footage below, and then 1) Call Volusia County Schools Superintendent Mr. Ronald "Scott" Fritz (386-734-7190 x 20210) and 2) Deland Middle School Principal Mr. John DeVito (386-822-5678) tell him you want Teacher Matthew Cindric suspended immediately and Fired for choking Jayquan!


Next time he could be choking your kid. Tell them you want this Teacher out of there! #JusticeForJayquan #NotOneMoreKid #Share #Call #Sign #Donate (To Jayquan's legal fees and mental health counseling fees on Go Fund Me #JusticeForJayquan).
