A parent has accused Carlynton School District coach Paul Jenkins of physically bullying his 12-year-old son, prompting the family to file a police report after the school principal allegedly declined to take disciplinary action.
Rico Suave, the child's father, publicly shared a video on Facebook showing what he described as a coach placing his hands on his son during a confrontation.
In his post, Rico urged family members and friends to share the footage, stating that the incident occurred while Jenkins was acting as a coach within the Carlynton School District.
According to Rico, the school principal reviewed the video and acknowledged that any parent would feel upset if their child were involved.
However, the principal allegedly told the boy's mother that Jenkins did not work directly for the school district and advised the family to pursue the matter through a police report rather than school discipline.

After researching Jenkins' background, Rico claimed that Paul Jenkins works as a Pittsburgh police officer and was previously involved in the investigation of the Leon Ford shooting.
Rico also stated that Jenkins' wife is employed by the school district, which raised further concerns for the family about accountability and oversight.
Rico alleged that the confrontation shown in the video was not an isolated incident.
He said Jenkins bullied his son again on a separate occasion, making the encounter the second incident involving the same coach.
He questioned why Jenkins is allowed to coach youth athletes and called for the revocation of Jenkins' Act 33 child abuse clearances.
