Ladejah Shaw, 29, is facing multiple charges, including felony child neglect, after she encouraged two students to fight on campus.
The fight happened in October 2025 when Shaw was acting as a substitute teacher at a Duval County middle school. Shaw had her class outside when the students formed a circle around two students. Multiple students had their phones out recording the moments leading up to the fight, including the moment when Shaw encouraged the students to begin fighting.
After interviewing the students and reviewing cell phone video, Duval County School Police determined Shaw intentionally allowed the students to fight.
On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, officers from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) arrested Shaw.
