An Alabama teacher has been arrested after a disturbing video surfaced showing her repeatedly beating her 12-year-old son with a belt-like strap. The clip, recorded inside a private home by a family member, captured 44-year-old Randi Nicole Staples striking the child 22 times in just 14 seconds, then yanking him by the hair and shouting profanities. The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the boy in the video footage is her son. The video, briefly shared on Facebook before being removed, sparked widespread outrage. Staples, a 2nd-grade teacher at Cottage Hill Christian Academy in Mobile, was taken into custody soon after the footage came to light. Though the incident occurred off school grounds, the academy responded immediately upon being notified on November 19, 2025, placing her on administrative leave and launching an independent investigation while cooperating fully with law enforcement. US Horror: Teacher Allegedly Attempts To Pay Minor USD 60 for Sex Act in Detroit, Arrested.
