A karate instructor who teaches children in Hampton and Suffolk has been charged with felony child endangerment, after one of her students accused her of kicking him in the ribs more than 200 times, causing internal injuries, police said.\t\n\t\nSusan Bateman, 47, turned herself in to police last Tuesday, said Suffolk Police Lt. Debbie George. She is an instructor at Jeff Bateman's School of Karate, which has studios in Hampton and Suffolk.\t\n\t\nAccording to police, Bateman, a Hampton resident, had told her students at the Suffolk studio that students in Hampton had taken kicks in the abdomen, and challenged her Suffolk students to receive the same amount of kicks. The students got down in pushup position, and Bateman began kicking them in the abdomen and rib area, George said.\t\n\t\n"She kicked them until they each told her to stop," George said.\t\n\t\nTwo students received over 200 kicks. One of her , an 11-year-old boy, had to receive medical treatment for his injuries, which likely include a fractured rib, George said.\t\n\t\nThe incident occurred on Nov. 7, but wasn't reported until Nov. 14, when one of the students told his parents because he needed medical treatment.\t\n\t\nCopyright ? 2007, Newport News, Va., Daily Press\t\n ...read more
