A Bay Area family is suing a teacher for allegedly slapping their third grader in the face.
Danny Rivera Jr. says his 9-year-old son, a student at Patterson Elementary School in Fremont, asked his teacher Frederick Berg a question during a math test back in April. That's when Rivera claims Berg slapped his son's face twice.
Berg says he only patted the child on the face.
Berg was put on administrative leave but was later allowed to return to work after an investigation by the school system.
Rivera says he's not happy with the way administrators handled the situation.
