Disturbing Video Shows School Employee Assaulting Autistic Child

A video released by the parents of a 3-year-old nonverbal autistic child shows a school employee hitting their son in the head and carrying him upside down by his ankles at Rosa Parks Early Learning Center in Dayton, Ohio. The parents accused the school of downplaying the incident and withholding the full video. The employee has since resigned after being placed on administrative leave. The family and their attorney are calling for transparency and the release of the complete video. Dayton Public Schools said they alerted the appropriate authorities and are taking measures to ensure employee training and qualification. The case has been presented to the prosecutor's office for potential criminal charges. The parents have no plans to remove their son from the school as long as he is respected and safe.
