My name is Rodney Ellis. I live in Dallas, Texas. My date of birth is October 9, 1982. I am a student at _______ in the Dallas Independent School District.

I am a student of Coach's science class. Nearly every day since the end of September this year, I have been paddled by Coach. I have a weak kidney and have to go to the restroom very often. When I ask Coach if I can go to the restroom he says I can get a lick. When Coach paddles me he makes me bend over and grab my ankle with one hand and hold my private parts with my other hand.

Coach never gives a verbal warning. He just gets the paddle and gives licks if you're talking or are out of your seat.

My name is Dolores Hurtado. I live in Dallas, Texas. My date of birth is August 24, 1983. I am a student at _______ in the Dallas Independent School District.

About a month ago, I was in my sixth period science class which is taught by Coach. I was talking with other students when Coach told me I owed him two licks. I asked why and he said it was for talking. Coach lets other students give us licks so several of them had their hands up to volunteer to give me licks. Coach told Grace Henshaw to do it. She was not one of the students who raised their hand. Grace gave me one lick. Coach asked me if I wanted the other lick now or later. I told him later. Jeff Hunt was the student who gave me the second lick.
