Outrage and Demands for Accountability: Autistic Child Assaulted by School Employee Sparks Investigation

The parents of a non-verbal autistic boy are demanding answers after surveillance video showed a Dayton Public Schools employee striking their son, causing him to fall to the ground. The family received the video after multiple requests to the school, but have not seen the entire footage or been informed if the employee was qualified to work with special needs children. The employee has been suspended pending an investigation, but the parents are calling for his arrest. The school district has promised additional training for employees and plans to meet with concerned parents. The family is waiting to hear if there are any long-term effects on their son.
