Carson Yahvah, Rossiter Elementary teacher charged with assaulting 9-year-old student
A music instructor at Four Georgians Elementary School who was accused of beating a 9-year-old disabled student in his classroom has been sued together with Helena Public Schools.
Following an altercation on March 7 in his classroom, Carson Christman Yahvah was accused of criminal assault on a juvenile and was charged on June 6. On July 27, a civil lawsuit was brought against Yahvah and the school system.
a letter to the Independent Record with a statement Yahvah has been teaching music at Helena Public Schools for the past nine years, according to her attorneys at Delli Bovi and Martin LLC in Helena. They acknowledged Yahvah’s involvement in the two cases and mentioned that the court had been given notifications of affirmative defenses in the criminal case.
“There is always more to every story,” the statement says. “As these matters are still ongoing, we have no further comment at this time. We look forward to our day in court.”
The Four Georgians Elementary School principal called a school resource officer on March 7 to report that Yahvah had been accused of attacking a pupil earlier that day, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Lewis and Clark County District Court as part of the criminal prosecution. The student’s mother and father were on their way to the school, the administrator informed the police, and Yahvah had been suspended.
Authorities were informed by school administrators that Yahvah became irate with the pupil because he refused to accept responsibility for scratching another student during a music class.
“The Defendant reacted by gripping (the student’s) neck and shoulders in such a way as to bring (the student’s) head or face to eye level and with his hands still on (the student’s) neck and shoulders, he removed (the student) from the classroom and left him in the hallway,” the affidavit says, adding that Yahvah yelled at the student during the altercation.
Red markings on the student’s neck were documented by the principal in photographs, which the police later acquired. The mother of the student also gave police pictures of the red marks.

The day of the incident, Yahvah informed an officer over the phone that the student was beginning to “get in other people’s faces and not listen to directions.” He claimed that when Yahvah summoned the student over to him to express his regret for scratching another youngster, the student seemed to ignore him and declined to say anything.
When the officer heard this, according to Yahvah, he became furious and grabbed the kid by the neck and shoulders, forcing him to the hallway desk. Yahvah claimed that after realizing that his actions weren’t the best, he apologized to the pupil and begged for his pardon.
The court entered a plea of “not guilty” on Yahvah’s behalf as part of the arraignment. Oct. 31 at 9 a.m. is the time for the jury trial. Yahvah told the court through his attorneys that he intends to employ the affirmative defense of reasonable use of force and present proof of his good character during the course of the trial.
Yahvah faces a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a fine of $50,000 if found guilty of felony assault on a child.
The District Court-filed civil lawsuit claims that the student Yahvah is accused of assaulting has a number of problems, including “Emotional Disturbance.” The student “is quite disruptive in class,” according to an individualized education plan created for him in November, and “requires staff support to engage and keep him on target.”
According to the lawsuit, the boy claimed to his parents that Yahvah had previously verbally and physically harassed him, and that after the alleged assault in March, other pupils had teased and taunted him.
The lawsuit further claims that instead of dismissing Yahvah following the alleged attack, Helena Public Schools transferred him to another primary school.
Rex Weltz, the superintendent of Helena Public Schools, announced on Monday that Yahvah is out of the classroom and on unpaid leave. Yahvah was pulled from the classroom when the criminal charge was filed, and she won’t be in the classroom throughout any criminal procedures, Weltz added, despite the fact that the school district is “tied to a level of confidentiality while investigations take place.”
In the lawsuit, Yahvah is charged with assault and battery, Helena Public Schools is held strictly liable for the assault, the school district is accused of negligently hiring and supervising the teacher, both defendants are charged with negligently causing emotional distress, and the school district is also accused of failing to provide adequate security for the student while on its property.
In addition to punitive damages from Yahvah “to punish him and others from misusing his position of trust to harm students and children,” the lawsuit asks for compensatory damages from both defendants in an amount to be established at trial.

Kareem Spann, Louis Armstrong Middle School Teacher Arrested for Sexual Misconduct with Students
Mansfield, Texas — A Mansfield teacher, Thomas Boykin, has been fired from his position at Linda Jobe Middle School in the Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) following a disturbing domestic incident that unfolded on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. The incident involved an alleged assault on Boykin’s wife, Amy Boykin, who serves as an Assistant Principal within the Mansfield ISD, followed by the shooting of his 13-year-old son and 21-year-old stepdaughter. The incident, which occurred at their residence on Arabian Court, has sent shockwaves through the community.
Upon receiving a shooting call, the Mansfield Police Department swiftly responded to the scene. Officers arrived to find Thomas Boykin, a 52-year-old male, inside the residence, where he was apprehended without incident. The authorities immediately attended to the two victims, who had suffered apparent gunshot wounds. Mansfield medics transported them to Medical City Arlington for urgent medical care. Both victims underwent surgery overnight and are now in a serious but stable condition.
MISD promptly took action upon learning of the incident, placing Thomas Boykin on leave pending further investigation. The subsequent decision by the MISD Board of Trustees to terminate Boykin’s teaching contract was unanimous. The district, in a statement, expressed its strong stance against such behavior within their educational institutions and wider community, extending their thoughts and support to the victims.
Thomas Boykin now faces multiple charges, including three counts of Aggravated Assault Family Violence Serious Bodily Injury. He remains in custody at the Tarrant County Jail, with bond set at $900,000. Meanwhile, detectives from the Mansfield Police Department continue to investigate the circumstances leading up to the shooting, aiming to shed light on the motivations behind this tragic event.
The news of this distressing incident has had a profound impact on the Mansfield community, leaving many concerned about the safety and well-being of local families. The involvement of Amy Boykin, Assistant Principal at MISD, has further heightened attention and raised questions about the dynamics within the family. However, the focus remains on supporting the victims and ensuring their recovery.
Recognizing the financial strain that medical expenses can bring, a friend of the family has established a CashApp link through New York Avenue Church of Christ to facilitate donations for the ongoing medical care of Boykin’s son and stepdaughter.
The Mansfield Police Department, along with MISD, urges the community to come together and support the affected family and the wider MISD community during this challenging time.
