              Like father, like son...and vice versa.

N.Ö., a female teacher at Prof. Dr. Ali Kemal Yiğitoğlu Middle School

in Sarıyer district of Istanbul, admonished a student for bullying a

classmate.  The bully threatened N.Ö., saying "you're going to learn

how to behave toward me!" and summoned his father A.Ç. to the 

school.  A.Ç. arrived and attacked N.Ö. with punches and kicks,

resulting in N.Ö. being taken to a hospital for treatment. (!) 

Messages of support for N.Ö. posted on social media included ones

from the National Education Minister and the Ministry's Istanbul

provincial office.  Istanbul police issued the following statement

in connection with the attack: "Fugitive suspect A.Ç. was arrested

soon after the incident, charged in the attack, and jailed."
