RALEIGH, N.C. — Parents are irate after their daughter said a teacher in Raleigh choked her.
They said the incident happened Thursday at North Forest Pines Elementary School.
The principal of the school said Kazari Turner wouldn't give back a clipboard.
“It's hard to trust someone,” Kazari's mother, Laquinda Turner, said. “I gave you my trust with my child. You took your anger out on her for whatever reason.”

Kazari told her parents that the teacher put her hand around her neck, a detail the principal left out.
When the family left the school, Kazari’s father, Eric Winston, left a jacket inside and tried to go back into the school, but the school issued a code red lockdown and called police.
“I was loud. I didn't curse,” Winston said. “I haven't cursed in five years. I didn't threaten anybody. I haven't used threatening gestures to anyone.”
The parents said they are pulling Kazari out of the school.
