On Thursday Sept. 3 at Tri-Community Elementary School, A 6-year-old Non-Verbal Autistic child was seen being allegedly suffocated by a teacher. The other teacher who witnessed this abuse reported it to administration the next day and that is when a parent was notified.
She was brought into the Office by a Principal and Superintendent on Friday to be advised of the situation and it was being reenacted but specifics weren’t given. An official report is being made and CYS is now involved.
When we drop our children off at school we expect them to be protected, teached, and guided. The problem is some aids and teachers truly can’t handle kids with disabilities. So, now it’s somebody looking after your child who is there for a paycheck and as we see it doesn’t end well. Respect to all teachers who go above and beyond to cater to our youth because we need it now more than ever.
