Woman who verbally threatened middle school students charged with misdemeanor
A 33-year-old Mission Viejo woman has been charged with a misdemeanor for entering a middle school classroom and verbally threatened students in front of their teacher over accusations her daughter had been bullied. The expletive-filled rant went viral after it was captured on cell phone video by one of the students.
The Orange County District Attorney’s office says Christian Prince-Tinsley has been charged with one misdemeanor count of interference with the good order and administration of a school classroom with the intent to disrupt.
Prince-Tinsley is scheduled to be arraigned on November 6. She faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail if convicted.
Cellphone video of the May 14 incident shows Prince-Tinsley telling her daughter's classmates at Niguel Hills Middle School to leave her daughter alone or she will hurt their sisters, aunts and moms.
She was escorted off campus by the assistant principal.
The Capistrano Unified School District banned her from returning to the school and the school has since adopted upgraded security safeguards to prevent unauthorized people from having access to the campus.
