Three elementary school employees were arrested for an alleged history of abusing special needs students by feeding them spicy foods and using inappropriate methods when punishing them.

In February 2024, the authorities in Smyrna, Delaware were notified about three elementary school workers who were allegedly mistreating special needs children. An investigation was opened, and the police reportedly discovered that the abuse, such as children having objects thrown at them and being ridiculed, had been going on for a couple of years. They also allegedly discovered that one of the youngsters had allegedly been hit and sprayed in the face with water as punishment.
