A Connecticut teacher is set to appear in court Monday after allegedly pulling a 12-year-old student’s hair inside a classroom, reports say. 

Jennifer Wells-Jackson, 49, has been charged with risk of injury to a minor and second-degree breach of peace following the alleged incident at King/Robinson Interdistrict Magnet School in New Haven on Feb. 1, according to WTNH

"There’s certain things you say and there’s certain things you don’t say, there’s certain things you do and certain things you’re not supposed to do especially when dealing with people’s children," a woman who identified herself as the child’s mother told the station. "At the end of the day, there’s no justification for putting your hands on someone’s child."
