Sorin Ban, a mathematics teacher who was also the director of the secondary school in Sântandrei, Bihor county, is being sued by the prosecutors in Oradea for abusive behavior.
The process can start after the file in question was registered in October at the Oradea Court.
It all happened in November 2024 when Ban hit a sixth grader with his head against the wall of a school hallway. At that time, the teacher held the role of leader of the class in which the student was learning. The teacher got angry after the student playfully rang the school bell, hitting him on the back of the head several times. During the blows, the boy hit his forehead against the wall, breaking his head.
The school’s surveillance cameras captured the moments, the student’s parents filed a complaint with the Police, and the school management started an internal investigation in this regard.
According to the publication BIHOREANUL, it published at that time the incident and the investigation, discovering the fact that the teacher guilty of the crime of abuse is defended by his fellow school teachers but also by other parents of Ban’s students, who consider him innocent, requesting that the mathematics teacher be forgiven of the accusations.
The group of parents who came to the aid of the aggressive teacher requested even from the school director’s office that the teacher be forgiven, everything escalated into a scandal that required the intervention of the Police.
The Bihorian asked the teacher for a point of view, but he refused to offer explanations following the situation he created. The teacher not only refused to answer the question of why he made the gesture and if he regrets it, but he also sued the School Inspectorate on the grounds of refusing to be granted the grade of merit and a salary bonus for merit.
