TORONTO A school principal who was accused of assaulting a student while attempting to break up a fight has been acquitted. The incident took place at Chester Elementary School near Broadview and Pape avenues back on Sept. 19, 2018. At the time, it was alleged that principal Sean Hume had thrown a Grade 4 student to the ground while trying to intervene in a schoolyard fight and then stomped on him. But in a decision released on Dec. 22, Justice Steve Clark found that Hume “did not intentionally” push the child to the ground, nor did he stomp on him. Clark said that Hume did grab the student in the “neck/shoulder area” in an attempt to restrain him but he said that it was “corrective and reasonable force under all of the circumstances.”
