The former assistant principal at W.S. Neal Middle School in East Brewton has been charged with torture and willful abuse of a child.
Donald Eugene Hardyman Jr., age 56, was indicted by an Escambia County grand jury and booked into the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton. He was released on a $25,000 bond.

it was a different time – teachers demanded order and respect. Parents as a rule backed up the teacher if punishment was handed out. Today’s lenient society hides in safe spaces and seeks psychiatric counseling if they feel disrespected.
I was abused by principals and teachers the whole time I went through elementary school and middle school I admit I was probably into a bunch of mischief but nothing that bad but I’ve been slapped in the face and even burned by a coach by a cigarette and at one time I had a teacher sit on me in 2nd grade
Back in the early 70’s I was also abused at Ferry Pass Middle. Three times I was given “Licks” for somethings I didn’t do. Just by the words of little punks who were lying. No proof at all because I was innocent.
