Teacher, Friend On Trial After Boy Says He Was Whipped At West Side School
The CBS 2 Investigators first broke the story about the beating of then-9-year-old Jomaury Champ.
CHICAGO (CBS) — A 9-year-old boy was whipped at school a year and a half ago, and two women have gone to trial – one of them his teacher. The CBS 2 Investigators first broke the story about the beating of then-9-year-old Jomaury Champ. CBS 2’s Chris Tye was in court on Thursday, as the fifth-grader relived his horrific day.
Jomaury cannot remember how many times he was hit in the middle of that school day in September 2018. He does remember loudly wailing as the lashes kept coming.
