Dad Charged After Confronting Teen At School, Demanding Apology For Daughter: Reports

PAULSBORO, NJ — A father is facing charges after authorities said he walked into a Paulsboro classroom, confronted a student, and demanded the teen apologize to his daughter, according to multiple reports citing police and court documents.

Aaron Thomas, 38, of Greenwich Township, was charged with simple assault, terrorist threats, trespassing, and disorderly conduct after the confrontation was captured on video and posted to social media, 6ABC reported.

In the video viewed by NJ Advance Media, Thomas walked into a classroom at Paulsboro High School, approached a teen boy and ordered him to apologize to his daughter. The father also grabbed another student's arm after the student encouraged him to fight, reports said.

"You got a problem with my daughter?" the man asked the teen, according to NJ.com. “Apologize to my daughter.”

“I didn’t do nothing to her,” the student replied.

“You heard what the f--- I said. Apologize to my daughter now,” the father said again.

According to a criminal affidavit obtained by 6ABC, the father had come to the school to remove his daughter but instead of leaving with her, he confronted the other student.

Paulsboro police did not immediately respond to Patch's request for additional information.

Roy Dawson III, Paulsboro School District superintendent, said the district is cooperating with police through the investigation.

"Safety and security of our staff and students is paramount," Dawson said. "Unfortunate situations such as these give us an opportunity to reflect and analyze current practices to further strengthen the district's safety and security procedures to ensure that our schools are a safe place for all students and staff."
