A bipolar Wisconsin woman managed to impersonate a substitute teacher at her former school — then called white students “motherf–ers” while asking girls if they wanted to be “strippers or hookers,” according to authorities.
Amy Jones, 23, conned her way into Rufus King High School in Milwaukee on Sept. 24, getting “lucky” because substitutes were working that day to cover absent teachers, according to court documents obtained by Fox6.
She managed to go three periods throwing outrageous abuse at kids before she was eventually reported and found to be an imposter who “just wanted to f–k around,” according to the docs.
During those classes, she divided students “by race and gender” — and used “profane language” and “racial slurs,” calling white kids “motherf–kers,” prosecutors said in court documents also seen by WISN.
She called one “student ‘a fat boy’” — and asked another “if they wanted to be a stripper or a hooker,” according to the documents.
She also allegedly bragged about having “felonies” while telling kids it was OK to go to jail, according to Law and Crime.
Students eventually reported her to school officials, who escorted her off the premises.
She was quizzed about it six days later by cops, who reported that “Amy was very excited” while remembering what she’d done, “snapping her fingers and dancing.”
She claimed that she actually hated kids and “just wanted to f–k around,” according to documents.
Jones was charged with impersonating a public employee and five counts of exposing children to harmful descriptions — potentially facing 21 years in prison if convicted.
Her attorney, Michael Cerniglia, blamed his client’s mental health for the bizarre episode.
“Miss Jones manages bipolar disorder and was experiencing an acute manic episode caused by delayed home prescription delivery. So, she was off her meds during the time,” he said during her first court appearance Tuesday.
Doreen Badillo, the school’s principal, admitted officials “did not follow proper district protocol in validating the individual as a substitute teacher.”
“This should happen every time a substitute visits a school. There is no excuse for it not occurring, and we take this matter seriously,” Badillo said, describing the incident is “disturbing.”
“We are already in the process of reviewing our safeguards to ensure an incident like this never happens again.”
