Administrator at Tampa's King High 'popped' students' toes for poor grades

TAMPA — It wasn't unusual for King High School students to be called to assistant principal Olayinka Alege's office when their grades slipped.

But when some boys with lagging scores left his office this spring, they reported a punishment that can only be described as unusual.

Alege squeezed their toes.

Five boys told Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies that Alege asked them on numerous occasions to take off a shoe and sock behind closed doors and allow him to "pop" their toes. They said it didn't hurt, but they didn't like it, either. One called it a "weird type of punishment."

Alege told the St. Petersburg Times it was all in good fun.

3. I wonder how many times he wished he could lick them!
I'm betting that was more often than the actual toe-popping! Call it a hunch.

4. Foot fetishist? How very ODD.
    ......Though deputies and an assistant state attorney concluded the punishment didn't amount to battery, a child protective services investigator with the Sheriff's Office said he saw "some indicators" of abuse.

    Out of five parents contacted about the incidents, only one wanted to pursue criminal charges. . .But the school district has not disciplined Alege, and considers the matter closed.

    "Since there was no dispute of the facts of the case, our professional standards office did not need to conduct another investigation," said spokesman Stephen Hegarty. "It was determined that there was no harm intended, and that the students involved did not perceive any harm."

    He said principal Carla Bruning spoke with Alege "and let him know that his actions could be misinterpreted, which appears to be what occurred here. Mr. Alege has a great rapport with students at King High and acts as a mentor to several of them.". . . . child protective investigator Arturo Auza of the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office was summoned to the school May 7 in response to an anonymous call to the state's child abuse hotline. He called the school resource deputy, Robin Hymes, who interviewed four of the five boys.

    One student said Alege "popped" his toes about 20 times, including the previous day. Once the toe-pulling was accompanied by a scolding for not staying after school to help set something up. It happened so frequently, he said, that he often just offered his foot upon entering the office. . . .

15. Sounds like the equivalent of cracking knuckles
I do it to my big toes because they hurt otherwise - it's borderline bursitis.

People should NOT be cracking their joints who don't need to for mobility's sake and people shouldn't be cracking other's people's joints because they don't know when to stop - you can't do it by sound alone.
