Child abuse is criminal! That "teacher" deserves to be in jail!
Do Not Fist Android Girls. beep boop bop.
So were my child I'd be the one in jail not the teacher because the teacher would be 6 ft under.
Completely unacceptable. The so-called teacher should NEVER be allowed in a classroom again
Plus the school nurse also needs to be disciplined. She should have been able to tell if the hand was broken and she should have been the one to call the parents.
@@geminigreywolf6655 Did he go to the nurse? It sounds like everyone ignored him, but the video may have said he went to the nurse.
Self defense?? Then the parents should have been contacted regardless of the situation. She tried to spin that around. No excuses for that kind of behavior.
seriously, if the kids somehow legitimately that big and dangerous (unlikely but possible, I've met a couple who could come close to hurting adults,ESPECIALLY considering the modern rules teachers have to follow,they practically can't even defend themselves) and IF that was an issue here,correct, it should've been addressed much earlier.
Adult teacher defends herself against a kindergarten student by BREAKING his fingers? I really hope the story gets passed around a lot so that that teacher will not be able to find employment at any other school. And I just realized she doesn't really need to have any children of her own.
@@NonyafriggnBuisness She should not be working with kids. If she is aloud to work with students again it needs to be older high schoolers
@@malanamarie5206 I do not agree I think she should lose her teaching status. This kind of woman could intimidate high school students.
@@NonyafriggnBuisness I agree with you but if for some reason she gets to keep it (because ppl are dumb) she needs to stay away from small children. I hope they charge her.
Would love to educate that teacher on how to not treat children.
I'll help.
@@trustmemysonisadoctor8479Me too!
Not hard to find them
Let's meet up and go. We can find out how good of a teacher they were by asking them to name each bone.
@@Joegreen-r1i 🤣I'm in.
We ride at dawn
File a Lawsuit!!!! Keep other Kids safe!!! Hope that Teacher loses her teaching certificate too.
If that was my child, y’all would be seeing my mugshot along with this story.
Me too
Yep @@kelleygreengrass
Amen.
@@alexanderh.5814 rewatch this video again and listen for ‘the other teacher’ and ‘she is no longer employed ’…. Which means there is proof but the school is cooperating with authorities and can’t release anything. They don’t fire teachers without cause and because of just any accusation from a parent.
Hey, critical thinking and listening skills aren’t for everyone but I’m more than happy to help.
yep
Abusive teachers are everywhere. No one in "authority" will do anything until they are forced to.
Bingo 🎯
Actually by law teachers, along with healthcare workers, are MANDATORY REPORTERS
It seems school s doesn't care anymore 😕
@@estherharrison3786Anymore?! They never did. It used to be much worse. It was common practice to discipline children with a yard stick in front of the entire class.
No excuse that teacher needs to go to jail . don't understand how can you do that to a child
Maybe it would be prudent to let all the information/facts come out. Maybe put a bridle on that virtue signaling.
raise YOUR "kids" Dr. Spock finally said in 1960s "I WAS WRONG YOU ARE CREATING MONSTERS" thus monsters creating monsters>>>> arrogant ignorants and criminal by culture didn't heed. I believe the teacher. some "cultures" push the crap of they deserve to be horrible, and create their "kids" to be the same, then for commie/hater/aggressor nations people chipping at America standards included all in not raising "kids" leniency for "Kids" to criminals, Fake virtue, so that white people caught up a bit, 1946 Dr. Spock of babbler degrees infamous for subversives to teach published his leniency / no discipline for "kids" by the 60s he said "I WAS WRONG YOU ARE CREATING MONSTERS" so the arrogant/ ignorant didn't heed, we see what we see, 9 decades and increasingly monsters creating monsters that see not past their noses, AND IN ADDITION ADULTS NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. and this excuse of autistic, and others, then you cannot allow them in with others! lazy, excuses,... parent(s) the worst to make decisions.
there is much more crime, much more abuse than back in the even 50s especially before.
@@rrnabors1What other facts or information? She assaulted a child...there was no reason for her to break the childs fingers...I agree the teacher should do some jail time 🤷
@@jeepwj Let's say the child was flailing uncontrollably in a fit of rage and the teacher put their hand out in a reflex action to deflect the blows and the child's hand was inadvertently injured . . . would that make any difference in your rush to virtue signal? . . . Probably not.
@@rrnabors1Stop being an idiot. If you can’t control yourself as an adult and not hurt a five year old child, you need to be made an example of so then other idiots will at least have you as a guide.
I have been kicked, bitten, and hit by autistic children while working in childcare. I totally understand, but as a teacher, she should have been trained to deal with the situation.
😮 no excuses
Right and I doubt you've broken any bones
There shouldn’t be any understanding, my son has autism and I wouldn’t be responsible for my actions if anyone hurts a hair on his head
Trained to not break the kids fingers?
That mean people like you are not made for that environment and are danger to special needs kids. Y'all think you all are the first people to deal with special needs, no! If you can't don't just be there for a paycheck. They actually have special people for that.
This is infuriating. OMGoodness WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE????? This is a child, self defense???? The audacity to even claim that. I am so sorry this happened. That sweet boy. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TRUST SCHOOLS. THIS BS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!!!!
Exactly
If this is true, then this so called teacher should not be anywhere near a classroom or berrer yet, any child. 😡💢
IF??? This teacher needs to be FIRED STAT.
Schools are danger zones
IF?! The teacher broke the kids hand confirmed by xray and the school did nothing. Wtf

@@StarlahMutiny innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Wrong, from start to finish. Sounds like this school is clueless when it comes to the treatment of special needs students. A teacher that hurt a child to the point of the child needing medical treatment, is UNFIT to remain employed. If you as an adult and a college graduate, can't figure out HOW to humanely take care of a special needs kindergartner, then you need to find another line of work.
Right after a stint in prison for child abuse and revocation of teaching credentials.
So awful for that baby and his parents. I hope he’ll be ok.
Thank you for your service sir. I hope and pray you get justice for your child. 🙏
If you cannot control your anger, you have no business taking care of, let alone teaching, a child.
Defend herself from a FIVE year old??!!!!! Sue her for everything she has!!
You mean sue the taxpayer . . . the New American Dream.
I agree it's the one way this will stop I hope. Sue her and the city
@@rrnabors1 tapayers dont get sued
@@rrnabors1that’s what taxes are for. If you don’t like it, stop putting temper mental people in positions of authority they are not equipped for
@@mattschehr163 But it's the taxpayer's money that is used to pay any settlement. And they will raise taxes to cover it if they don't have the excess funds . . . so yeah . . . sue the taxpayer. Ultimately it's the taxpayer that pays.
Self defense against a 5 year old 🙄🙄🙄
Sue the school, Sue the teacher, and Sue the district for not vetting these people and ensuring the safety of your child. Praying for him to heal quickly and hopefully he never has to see that lady again!
Our new second grade teacher at pickle elementary tells the students to shut up. There is an incident where he slammed one of the kids against the chair and also grabbed my son's nose and The back of his neck. We told the principal about it and the teacher lied after multiple students witnessed that it was true and he's still employed. Idk why they don't take action. It drives me nuts!!!
Theyre all drunk driving Iberals that stucknup and lie for each other. Like cops or fbi or the dnc. Theyll lie lie lie and gaslight to blame the victim of their bs. Theyll investigate themselves and find no wrong doing.
Send in a micro recorder, take it to tv station
Sounds like you’re the problem parent.. shut up
Telling students to shut up isn’t bad. The physical stuff is bad though. Teachers complain all the time about behavior issues in class. Starts at home. Your son must be misbehaving for the teacher to react that way. He shouldn’t have touched your son though he should’ve wrote him up and sent him to the principal for misbehaving.
Take your kid out of that school NOW.
If the teacher broke the boys hand the parents should get 15 minutes alone with the teacher….maybe the teacher will survive
I agree with you and it's a shame that that would be against the law.
Shame on you!! This is so heartbreaking 💔 imagine his pain and to top it off his parents weren’t around!! I know he was so scared I’m literally in tears!! I pray she goes to jail and they sue he deserves justice! Sending him an the family lots of prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 an hugs
So sick of psychopaths becoming “teachers”
Mad 😡 asf! If I was in the father’s position oh man ! Please call my lawyer in advance! 😈!
😈!
My daughter is autistic and about to start school.. this is my nightmares.
I hope she can make friends when she starts school
Growing up I never really made any Friends because of my Autism
Would you consider homeschooling? So many stories about abuse to autistic children in elementary school 😢
@@christine77771 It really depends on how much income the Parents make if they don’t have enough where only one Parent is needed then it would be hard to homeschool a child
You should consider home schooling your child. Public education is not going to be a place where your child will benefit from socialization and structure. I implore you to consider other alternatives. Many independent daycare providers offer homeschooling for older kids. The Kansas Department of Education in has an online curriculum K-12 that is free to enroll regardless of where you live.
@@GrandMasterLynxwith all the stories I'm hearing with “ friends” consider yourself luck!!!
If true, the former teacher then goes to jail.
It's absolutely unacceptable! If a child is acting in a way that is uncontrollably, notify the parents immediately
Hello from Chattanooga Tennessee. It doesn't matter if that teacher was fired. That child is scared for life. 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
No, he won't be "scared" for life.
The teacher is LYING! If it were self defense why didn’t she immediately alert other staff about the incident! She should be in law enforcement’s custody!
They didn’t do anything because they were planning on blaming the parents for it.
Dang a woman from Austin claims self defense from a 5 year old. Schools need to hire better.
Sad story hope he gets better. Poor child. You are in my prayers.
IF and I do mean IF it was self defense there would have been an incident report made by the teacher at the time of the incident.........this poor child was physically assaulted by someone strong enough to break his fingers!!
Poor baby boy. Sometimes teachers are the worst bully of all.
And the teacher's union will support them, defend them, and probably get them a job with another school.
Yep, I've witnessed this with my own eyes!!! My coworkers didn't do well with 5-year-olds. They put her with babies instead of putting her with the older kids who can defend themselves. She should have worked with kids in the first place!!!
There is no “teacher’s union” in Texas
@Unapologetikallyblaque Texas AFT
A statewide union that represents K-12, higher education, and retired educators. Texas AFT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the AFL-CIO. They have local unions and an Associate Membership Program (AMP) with offices in many districts. Texas AFT members can receive legal protection and support, and learn about their rights as public school employees.
United Educators Association of Texas (UEA)
An association that offers a knowledge base, free resources, and member discounts. UEA members can access salary and benefit data, and get discounts on travel, school supplies, and legal services.
No teachers union in TX
@@Unapologetikallyblaque search for Texas teachers union in you favorite search engine and what do you find: A LINK TO A TEACHERS UNION IN TEXAS
Don’t let this go!
Message to the little boy. I know you were hurt and the teacher that did that will never be able to hurt you or any other boy or girl again. I’m a grandma and I’m sending healing prayers for your hand. You were very brave waiting to go home and tell your mom and dad. You did not do anything wrong. ❤️
You couldn't pay me enough to deal with other people's kids
It's good you know that you don't have the emotional maturity to deal with kids. Clearly this "teacher" doesn't either!
@@mrsc1742 I would MUCH rather have someone acknowledge that they don't have the right disposition to work with kids, than to not.
Good, that relieves parents of having their kids ever having to deal with you.
@@ThatGuy-u8k I cannot fathom why people are mad at someone acknowledging they wouldn't be good around kids.....
That is the most insane reaction, to get angry that a human doesn't want to work with kids.
You weren't saying anything in support of breaking children's hands, so I'm gonna assume they're fired up from the video, and not your comment?
@mrsc1742 that’s silly. Not wanting to deal with other ppls kids does not mean you’re emotionally immature. Some ppl can see how poorly yall raise your kids. Why df would they want to put themselves in a situation where they have to put up with the nonsense while getting paid Sh*t for it; while also dealing with demanding and self absorbed, entitled parents.
Atleast OP knows where they stand.
But thank god the kid didn't see a book about two penguins who love each other.
These teachers need to be watched!!! Dear gawd who is hiring these thugs? Disgraceful
Pain and suffering damages. Lawsuit.
Sue the $hit out of the taxpayer! Right On!
My questions b/c I haven't dealt with kids in SpEd for over 25 years, was this a true SpEd class or was this inclusion into Reg Ed?
This inclusion mess is out of hand for our SpEd kids.
I completely agree. Special kids need special classes and specialized teachers.
DO NOT send your young children to public school if you love them. There are far too many of these stories happening. If they aren't injuring children, they're giving them "grapes". Read between the lines
Huh are you serious 😡 why would hurt any child especially a disabled child smh this is beyond ridiculous.
Theu didnt show a photo of the teacher so that should scream out why.
Omg! I believe it. Teachers now a days are very aggressive and racist!
My heart goes out to this family. Autism is more and more prevalent so teachers need to be ready for it. It’s is 1 in 34 children now. Behavioral problems comes with it. I pray for this child.
Parents need to file charges
She said it was self-defense, but never reported it. He sat there for hours in pain and she does nothing. Send her to prison and keep her out of school.
This makes me so angry. I don’t think I could keep it civilized if this were my child.
😳 Poor baby. That teacher needs to catch hands & prison time ! Violence isn't always the answer but if you harm a child, you need to catch hands. Not sorry !
With everyone saying mental health is something to be taken into consideration; how TF does a teacher do this to a 5 year old, let alone them being a special needs 5 year old and all that appears to have happened is losing their job?? You know d@mn well that if the right thing had been done from the start, this teacher would be in jail, not just jobless. Self defense is NOT A VALID defense against a 5 year old, EVER. Drop the teacher's name and what they did
Sue the city, county and state. Go get that bag 💰
THAT is down right atrocious to think that a "teacher" did that to a 5 yr old. That teacher belongs in jail, period.
That poor poor child. Now, he's gonna be afraid of teachers, how sad and ANGRY, this makes me. 😢🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Self-Defense against a 5-year-old? If that woman can't handle a 5-year-old she shouldn't be a teacher. Nor should she ever be allowed to be a mother.
That teacher is an extreme monster. I can’t believe a teacher would do something like this to a kid.
You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!! This teacher needs to be arrested and charged!
I have a high functioning autistic son. He was extremely violent at times. But never once did teachers physically hurt him when he got angry. Utter insanity that a teacher hurt a child! Glad they were fired.
That was an evil act against the child.
If she was a teacher to any special needs children then she has certain training protocol that she should be going through when it comes to discipline or defense... Good parents, demanding justice for your boy!!
That woman needs to be fired, and prosecuted. She is a monster, and the other teachers need to be retrained. The child asked for help, and they ignored him. Disgusting.
Allegedly? You fired a teacher for nothing? No! You fired her because she physically abused a 5-year-old child. That is not “alleged”. You fired her based on facts, and then passed it off to parents as “alleged”. You’re no better than that abusive teacher.
Home school people. Your child is worth more.
Well, I will apologize to you for the disrespect and harm that they’ve done to your child. Sending blessings that he heals. God bless you.
She needs to be charge!!
I’d be way less calm, kudos to these parents.
Self defense from a 5 year old. She should be fired just for that.
I have experienced elementary school students who are violent including kids in Kinder . Throwing chairs, stabbing kids, throwing magnet door stoppers at teachers. But if the student expressed his hands hurt to different staff then that is the issue! That is where they need to investigate.
Poor child! This is excruciating treatment.
Jail the teacher and parents need to sue the school system. This is horrible! Take action Mom and Dad!
Would take so much force to break a child’s hand like this! How terrible! The teacher was completely out of control and must never work with children again. God’s comfort to this family.
Its not a claim if he has ACTUAL injuries. This vixeo title is disgraceful
I do believe these ppl,cause there's evil teachers out there.its time for a lawsuit.keep your children safe and stay safe.
I am the mother of an autistic child and this is one of my fears that a teacher will do this sort of thing to him so my heart goes out to these parents and most of all to their little boy it's not okay it's not right I can't stand adults that do this to Children especially special needs children what the hell did this kid do to you that entitled you to break his fingers I am proud of the school for firing the teacher but an investigation still needs to be had because like they said he sat in pain all day that's not okay either and is traumatized as he is that kid will not want to sleep in his bed for years to come because with special needs kids trauma hits them differently and kids should feel safe at school that's the one place that they should most definitely always feel safe in this kid may not ever be able to return to that school and that is very sad😢
Happened to my little sister in 3rd grade and the teacher wouldn’t let her go to the Nurse. Ended up being taken by Ambulance, when another Teacher heard her screaming and came to investigate. My Parents didn’t sue the school district or Teacher. Courts took away her State Teaching License and she was no longer permitted to teach in ANY school Nationwide. Hopefully she learned a lesson
This kid has great parents. I'm so thankful for that. He's going to be okay. She will never teach again. Ugh, such trash harming a child.
Self defense from a 5 year old. That's a bully's go to statement. That "teacher" will learn a lesson or two in prison. All classrooms should have cameras installed.
Has the teacher been arrested yet?
This makes me sick. It hits close to home for me as someone with high functioning autism who once needed lots of help in kindergarten too as I was mostly nonverbal at 5. My strange behaviors & social problems could definitely frustrate adults but I couldn't imagine my kindergarten teacher harming me in response to being flustered. In fact she did everything she could to help me with any "behavioral issues" if you can call them that & she connected my mom with resources & doctors at a time & place when there weren't many.
It requires patience, passion, & care to work with young children, obviously those are things the awful teacher of this story lacks.
I truly wonder how people like the evil teacher get careers in early education to begin. Like if you can't handle your emotions around 5 year olds you certainly shouldn't be working with children at all. For all we know if someone is willing to break children's fingers it probably isn't the first time they've hurt children which is a disturbing thought for sure.
I'm also not buying that self defense claim & I guess the school didn't either because they let her go although they probably just care more about saving themselves from the bad PR circus since their actions before it went public show that they weren't the slightest bit concerned at the time that it happened.
As for the parents, I hope something positive can come out of this & they can heal. I imagine it broke their hearts finding out their baby suffered at school all day with broken bones caused by his own teacher no less so my heart does go out to the family.💖
Poor baby ☹️ Absolutely unacceptable! Glad they fired the teacher.
My mother broke my finger when i was 16 and refused to take me to ER. It was 30 plus years ago and my little left finger but was never fixed. I can imagine how he hurt. I sat with my hand in ice water for days and it was black for weeks
Wow! My son is autistic and this is messed up BIG TIME. Not cool. Self defense from a 5 year old?? If the child is unruly grab their wrist not tiny hands. My God. Cameras in classrooms dammit
Reprehensible! On every point. I hope that teacher is charged and the family sues.
Our innocent children aren't safe anywhere anymore. Makes me so sad that little boy sat in pain all day. There is no excuse for that teachers behavior.
Holy cow, wtf. That's absolutely bonkers a teacher would do that.
This is the fear of ALL parents and family members of kids with ANY type of special needs.
Wow I'm gobsmacked that these people r in charge of little kids and r abusing them, shut down the school and jail them. U can restrain a child without breaking their limbs
Placed on leave? How about arrested???
I'm so sick and tired of all these teachers and everybody else hurting our babies. They need to be prosecuted to the fullest no suspension with pay. I'm so sorry I was baby had to go through that. This is unacceptable. Chargers need to be brought
That's child abuse she should be in jail and fired . Smh
Penalties for crimes against innocent children should be eye-for-an-eye
I went to an elementary school in phlugerville. I am high functioning autistic and as a child had behavioral issues. I went to a BMC program in that school and I have personally experienced abuse in the school. All the students were abused for minor offenses like refusing to do work, sit still, or even humming. We were sat on, pinched, and restrained to the point of turning purple. I’m 33 years old now, but I still remember vividly the loneliness of being a kid and begging subjected to this on a daily basis and having no one to talk to. I just gave up. This is super sad and I’m very happy the parents care about their son and took him to the hospital.
This brings tears 😢to my eyes, the pain that little boy had to endure from the Monster 👿 so called Teacher 😤😡🤬
That's sad, and if they're aware of his issues, that's just really sad. I'd be showing me a school and teacher. I'm sorry your son's going through this❤
Fire that DEI hire! That teacher needs to be prosecuted for child abuse and endangerment, she needs to be imprisoned for the rest of her life, harming a child is unacceptable period!! Governor Abbott I'm calling on you to get involved on this matter!!
That's crazy af. His parents seem so nice. Why didn't the teacher try to talk to them? They probably would have talked and disciplined him the way he understands.
This is why my autistic son attends a school specifically for kids on the spectrum. Unfortunately these teachers aren't equipped with the patience to deal with these kids
Yeah! That’s horrible! I hope he heals his hand and emotionally.
We have a serious teacher problem in this country.
F that! I'd be hounding that teacher for all they got! They'd be calling cops on me for my reaction! A 5 yr old. Self defense against a 5 yr old? Give me a break!
Oh my goodness. This is so horrible. This teacher needs to be fired. This is a five year old child. Praise God sounds like the teacher is gone. Pray he heals quickly.
Reminds me when I was 9 years old in 4th grade. I had a teacher that did something similar in around the mid 2000's. We got new science books and we had them open and it was lunch time so I got up and pushed off of book laying on my desk and I slipped and I ripped a page by accident and my teacher was behind me and saw this so she smiled and chuckled while stroking my hair as I was sitting there then suddenly she yanks my hair for a few seconds. Later after school my mom saw the red blisters in on my head and took me to the doctor and confirmed someone pulled my hair. She said her wedding ring got caught in my hair. But it was obviously a lie because she used her right hand not her left hand that has the wedding ring. Nothing came from it and they just moved me to another class.
Also yes my scalp is sensitive now since that happened.
Five year olds can hurt someone, they are not five months, but why didn't this kid have an aid with him? If thr parents are available, why didn't they volunteered to aid?
