I hope that dude gets his teeth kicked in. Slamming any kids head is beyond evil. Sub-human trash.
I moved my non verbal child to an all day therapy program after his first year in public pre school. He hated going to that school. After the new school year started, we received a notification that his teacher was arrested for child abuse.
I'm so sorry! That must have been so scary for you. Is he doing better with his new program?
Thanks, it was not a good feeling for sure. But he is doing fantastic at his ABA therapy, the kids there have 1 to 1 staff coverage, and they all adore him!
Little dude's got a 1:1?! That's awesome! Hot damn, already sounds like a good program.
Wow, that's really sweet.
I used to work in Special Education. It was so hard for my district to find assistants that weren’t either incompetent morons or batshit crazy. I remember one fellow teacher in another multiple disabilities room (so these kids need extensive care) asked an assistant to please let her know when she was leaving the room to go to the bathroom and the assistant went on a profanity laden tirade in the classroom. She had to be escorted off school property that day. People suck, I hope that poor kid is ok
Alleges my ass. It's on fucking video.
She hasn't been charged and convicted yet, so news outlets have to say alleged (innocent until proven guilty in a court of law) to cover their asses from lawsuits.
I think "plainly" should substitute for allegedly in these cases. Fine whatever the government hasn't yet deemed whether they will face any official sanction, but it's not like even the court is the final arbiter of actual guilt or innocence—there are all kinds of reasons a person might be found guilty or not that have nothing to do with the truth. Someone who pleas a 20 year sentence down to 6 months probation is "guilty" of nothing but cutting their losses, yet we don't have to use "allegedly" about them.
They did it whether they ever even faces charges or not. So they are plainly guilty.
Reporting isn’t a court of law. I see it happen on video, there’s no context thst makes the behavior okay.
Yeah, and whats this about hitting them in the head and knocking them to the ground? They caught up to this kid, put their hand on the kid's head, and pushed down hard, slamming the child to the ground. It was practically a throw.
if that was my kid I would be beat the living shit out of that person
There's nothing stopping you now if we're going to be honest
other than the law and not knowing who and where this person is sure
Also you going to jail for assault helps absolutely no-one than the private prison complex.
somewhere in Ohio, good luck friend!
That's one of the reasons I don't want kids, if anything like that happened to them, some people would die and it wouldn't be pretty.
Did you watch the video? The dad says he is jealous because he isn't allowed to be "physical" with him. This poor kid.
yeah, people suck
Here is the video because CNN only included an image:
There is one sentence where they said "in the video, posted to facebook" and they hyperlinked the word "facebook" to the video. Which is the dumbest way to do it. Like basically hiding the link you are reporting on as if you dont want people to see it...
I'm not surprised. You send your kids off to day care or public school, you're just trusting in the good will of strangers at that point. Especially times 1000 if your kid has a mental health condition.
Even if these people successfully sue the school and the employee - so what? Their kids' still traumatized, the damage is done.
Weird take, are you suggesting this couldn't happen at a private school? It sounds like you're shaming parents who send their kids to public school, when parents often don't have a choice
In some countries like Germany the public system is actually the nicer option.
Well, at least prevent the same damage to be done to other children.
You lay down all cards on the table when you put your child there. They are to choose if they are up to that work or if they aren't. If they've taken a non-verbal autist and then their worker did that, they failed their end of a contract. Even if they weren't autistic, it's the same.
Challenging this institution to change may help future kids&parents entering it. Fees can help family to access therapy. This case being brought up internationally may also has an impact on how (special) children are treated worldwide.
That’s a real dick move.
Oh hell no
