How horrible. The poor child is obviously terrified and pleading with them to stop.
They should be up on felony charges, and the school district deserves to lose big bucks for not having supervised them better.
The aide carried that flyswatter because she probably thought it wouldn’t leave marks, so you know she had been prepared to beat kids and had obviously done it before. And seeing those two fat cows beating and kicking that skinny little boy was nauseating.
Agreed!!!!
First off, after restraining him, there was no need to do anything else. He could not harm himself or others in the harness. The aide was actually acting in a manner that was egging him on. She should not have even sat next to him.
While some of the boy's moves were defensive, others appeared to be aggressive(might have been a response to something the aide said?), but still no excuse for the adult’s behavior. Tantrums can be expected from any child (adults too unfortunately)especially those with certain disabilities, but it is never ok to strike them about the head and body with anything.
Ignorance, stupidity, and meanness all on display in this video by the very adults assigned to protect and help him.
