In May 2021, a 6-year-old girl who attends Central Elementary School in Clewiston, Florida, was taken to the principal's office for damaging a computer. The girl's mother was called, and upon her arrival she was led into the office of Principal Melissa Carter. For her own peace of mind, the mother quietly pulled out her cellphone and hit record when she noticed there weren't any security cameras in the room.

According to KWTX, Carter wielded a wooden paddle and proceeded to spank the woman's daughter in the office, without her consent.
