http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/28626973/no-charges-against-educator-caught-mistreating-disabled-kidIf it wasn't for a surveillance camera at Spring Branch ISD's Wilchester Elementary, Maggie and Raphael Suter believe they would likely never have learned their 8 year old special needs son was assaulted on February 11th by an educator responsible for his protection.
"When we saw the video and saw the para-professional grab him and start violently shaking him and choking him we were both crying, just devastated," said Maggie, a former public school educator.
"Who could ever do anything to an innocent child, let alone a child who can't speak or even tell us that something has occurred? I was heartbroken," said Raphael.
In addition to the choking, the Suters say they watched in agony as their son William was shoved violently to the ground by the same classroom aid.

The creep is now looking for work. Police officer, perhaps?

Why millions of us have not snapped yet, watching bigots get rich for being bigots, watching someone abuse an 8 yr old, etc.
But no problem, the traitors are going to insist on a world war soon so all will get sorted out then

taking care of my own disabled daughter for 40+ years when I started riding as a bus aide. I had to have a background check.
