Local detectives say that the teacher tightened the rope around the neck several high school students in Herndon Barstow, who were aged 9 to 11 years. They argue that the rope had left red marks on the neck and shoulders of children.
In the Central unified school district posted the following statement:
«Mr. Samhammer is the official administrative leave. The safety of students is a top priority for the district, and therefore we work closely with the Office of the County Sheriff and will continue to do so throughout the investigation.»
