A Florida teacher who was beaten senseless by a 270 pound student has refused to support a lighter sentence for the teen. 

High school teacher Joan Naydich was violently attacked by Brendan Depa, then 17, in February after she told him to stop playing on his Nintendo Switch. 

The autistic teen was seen on video punching and kicking the educator in the back and head until she lay on the ground unconscious. 

Eventually the 6-foot-6 teen, now 18, was pulled away and restrained by other staff.

Naydich, was taken to a local hospital and treated after the assault.

Depa, reportedly threatened to kill Naydich during his arrest. 

Depa, was charged as an adult and faces up to 30 years in prison for the first-degree felony charge of aggravated battery.

The teen, who was initially charged as a juvenile before being upgraded to an adult, is set to plead guilty in an attempt to avoid jail time, the New York Post reported.  

Naydich has ‘shown no interest in mitigating what penalties Depa might face’, according to news site Flagler Live.

Depa had three prior battery arrests before the February attack and has been in a prison fight just last month, the Post reported. 

‘I’m hopeful that the awareness of this incident being spread far and wide will prevent anyone else from ever dealing with the trauma, physical healing and disruption of everyday life this has caused,’ she said on a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $100,000.

Depa is slated to issue his plea later month and will be sentenced after that in a separate proceeding.

 Matanzas High School where the assault occurred has been beset with violence in recent years, the Post reported.

Earlier this week, eleven students were arrested after a fight broke out in a crowded hallway.

Deputies and administrators who tried to quell the chaos were shoved and punched during the incident.

‘The lack of respect demonstrated by these students is simply shameful,’ Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said of the fight. ‘But actions have consequences.’

In yet another violent episode this week, a 16-year-old student was arrested for biting a teacher who tried to stop her from fighting another girl.
