SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- Punching, swearing and throwing children across the room, details in a new report that lists the horrific allegations of abuse by Seminole County teacher Kathy Garrett.
The report, released Friday, morning is revealing new details the school board has known about for years regarding a teacher accused of abusing her autistic students. Garrett resigned from her job at South Seminole Middle School two weeks ago and currently faces nine counts of aggravated child abuse.

Good grief. The woman is a monster. How could the people around her allow this to go on. This is absolutely beyond imagination.
Tenure and unions-the lifeblood of the worthless and weak.
Well, at least the "Thing" resigned it's job.
God knows if it had decided to fight to keep it's job, the teacher's union would have backed it 100%.
Working with autistic children is a thankless, tiresome, extremely stressful job. I've hit my steering wheel out of frustration because traffic moved slowly. I can't imagine the reactions I'd have to that level of stress.
Please, don't flame me. I'm not excusing her actions... taking out your frustration on a child, especially an autistic child is simply inexcusable. If guilty, this woman should be put in jail and I'll be there to watch them melt the key. I just hope fellow FReepers will rush to judge this woman's actions but still hold on to compassion for the woman. She needs our prayers, too.
Looks like the teachers' union and school district soon will be under new management and Garrett and her bosses will find themselves in new surroundings -- jail and/or living under a bridge -- if they live that long....
Horse pucky. Lincoln freed the slaves -- and she could have quit her teaching job if understandably she couldn't hack it any more....

The report includes interviews with teacher's aides who say Garrett showed them bondage pictures of herself and who reportedly considered herself a dominatrix and regularly discussed her sexual lifestyle loudly in the presence of her students. She also allegedly kept pictures of herself on the school computers. Just let me say.... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Well, this woman shouldn't be in the public school system and neither should these kids.
They need treatment not education.
.
I agree. She should have quit her job. She's in the wrong. She's a fallible woman who probably committed several terrible acts and deserves to be punished, yes.
But it concerns me when people say she's a "monster" or a "thing".
Right! That's why it's insane to allow gays and lesbians to adopt children.
**AKA The DemocRat Party
Sorry, no compassion for this monster. She preyed on autistic children, probably, because many have impaired language skills and couldn't tell people what was going on. Any sign of agitation or upset would be blamed on their autism.
"The woman is a monster. How could the people around her allow this to go on. This is absolutely beyond imagination."
Literally a monster. I know people look bad in mug shots, but holy smokes! And how could they let this go on? Nobody called a parent? Nobody called the cops? And the parents, what about them, none of them had any idea this was going on? I understand the children are mentally disabled, but was she really throwing kids across the room and not leaving any marks on them?
This Florida teachers' union seems to be amoung the worst, if not the worst in the nation.
SUPPORT VOUCHERS! BREAK THE UNIONS! SAVE THE CHILDREN!
