Video from an Ohio school’s hallway camera shows a school employee chasing a 3-year-old down the hall and hitting him in the head from behind, knocking him to the ground, an attorney for the boy’s family alleges.

After the child is on the ground, the employee at Rosa Parks Early Learning Center in Dayton, Ohio, picks the child up by his ankles and carrying him down the hall with his head towards the floor, the August video shows.

The employee has since been removed by the district. The child is nonverbal and autistic, said the attorney for the boy’s parents, Michael Wright.

    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 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

    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

      Well, at least prevent the same damage to be done to other children.

      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…
