An Indianapolis elementary school teacher allegedly orchestrated a “fight club-style” punishment between classmates including a 7-year-old special needs student, disturbing video showed.

The child’s mother filed a lawsuit in Marion County against George Washington Carver School and teacher Julious Johnican alleging that the teacher condoned other students to duke it out in the classroom on multiple occasions, according to a lawsuit obtained by Fox 59.

The unnamed mother, whose son deals with “disabilities, including sensory sensitivities, an executive function disorder, and probable learning disabilities,” had first warned her about the “fight club-style” discipline in his classroom at the beginning of the school year.

However, when his mother inquired about the disturbing allegations, the school administrators ignored her son’s claims for months.

She claimed Johnican mistakenly revealed footage on his phone of her son being attacked during a parent-teacher conference on Nov. 1.

The teacher had meant to show a video demonstrating the safety of his classroom environment after concerns were raised, but accidentally began playing audio of one of the attacks, according to the outlet.

In the horrifying video, a suspected classmate is seen throwing repeated punches at her defenseless son while shouting, “Don’t mess with me.”

Then, his teacher is heard shouting, “That’s right. You get him,” to her son’s attacker.

Toward the end of the short clip, the attacking boy tells the teacher, “I’m gonna get him again.”

Johnican, still filming, replied, “I know you want to get him when he does things.”

Johnican, a substitute teacher, several administrators, and the district itself have all been named in the lawsuit, as the woman claimed they failed to keep her son safe and administrators ignored his allegations.

The lawsuit claimed Johnican “encouraged” and “instigated” a “reprehensible ‘fight club’ type of discipline within his classroom over three months,” according to Fox 59.

The lawsuit also alleged that the teacher had held him down on at least two occasions while other students attacked him.

Johnican told Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) investigators that the two students were “sometimes friends” but had “many negative engagements.”

When asked about the video, he claimed he was recording “to have proof of what was happening” after he didn’t have enough patience to interfere with the melee.

The investigation found a “preponderance of evidence” to validate the boy’s claims and that his teacher “knowingly and willingly engaged in behaviors toward the victims that jeopardized their overall well-being while in his care as a teacher at IPS 87,” according to the DCS report.

Johnican was allowed to resign from the school over the video.

The lawsuit claims the mother had communicated with his teacher on several occasions before the video came to light and that Johnican said her son was “lying and/or mentally ill” about being attacked in class.

On one occasion on Sept. 22, 2023, her son called her in tears, to which the mother rushed over to school to find him “upset, traumatized, and shaken,” according to the lawsuit.

She said his teacher nor any school faculty ever explained why her son was distraught.

The mother said before leaving the school, her son told her another student his head slammed against a desk and was beaten, explaining the abuse was “done at the instruction of the teacher.”

She then tried setting up a meeting with the school about the incident but was “repeatedly informed that it was her child who was disruptive, lying and that this was a sign of a disordered personality in the child and related to his ADHD,” according to the lawsuit.

The young boy later told his mother that a substitute teacher — the same educator named in the lawsuit — said “special needs students were demonically possessed,” the outlet reported.

The substitute allegedly knew about and condoned the attacks and told an administrator, “[They’re] bad kids, that’s what you do!”

The lawsuit claims disability discrimination, intentional infliction of serious emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, negligent care and supervision, negligent hiring, retention, and supervision, and inadequate policies and protection, according to Fox 59.

On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Public Schools released a statement saying they do “not tolerate the type of behavior alleged in the complaint and takes reports of potential abuse and neglect seriously.”

“When IPS learned of the teacher’s conduct, the Department of Child Services (DCS) was immediately notified, and the teacher was removed from the classroom and suspended. The teacher had no further contact with students and is no longer employed by IPS.”
