Mom's Facebook Post Gets Florida Tot Booted from School

A frustrated Florida mother took to Facebook recently to vent about her son’s private preschool not providing enough notice for its picture day.

That venting earned her son an expulsion from the Sonshine Christian Academy in Callahan, News4Jax reports.

Ashley Habat, the boy’s mom, told the station they were running late for school on picture day. Once at the school, she brought up her perceived lack of notice with an administrator, but didn’t get satisfaction there. Back at home, she brought up the issue on Facebook and was informed the next day that her son was no longer welcome at the school, the station reported.

While adults getting themselves into hot water over social media posts have been well-chronicled in the news, reports of parental posts resulting in action against students are rare. Students themselves have also been known to post comments on the Internet that have resulted in action against them by school administrators. That was the case with Indiana high school senior Austin Carroll, who was booted from school for tweeting a post with vulgarity in it.
