A Florida school bus aide is facing a felony child abuse charge after an incident involving a young student with special needs, according to law enforcement.

The case centers on a 9-year-old boy who is nonverbal and autistic and attends an elementary school in Ruskin. The child was riding a Hillsborough County Public Schools bus on a Friday afternoon when the incident allegedly occurred. Investigators say the boy was secured in a harnessed seat when an aide, who was responsible for his care, struck him multiple times.

Surveillance video from inside the school bus reportedly shows the aide hitting the child’s hand and then removing a hat and striking the child on the side of the face. Authorities say the actions appeared deliberate and took place while the child was unable to move away.

A special needs elementary school teacher and her aide are facing charges after allegedly tying a non-verbal autistic youngster to a chair during recess.

According to reports, on February 2, a woman who has worked at G.D. Rogers Garden-Bullock Elementary School as an Exceptional Student Education teacher for approximately 2 years was recently involved in an incident with a 7-year-old child. Her teacher’s aide was also reportedly a participant.

When the students are taken from one part of the school to another, the teachers use a walking rope to make the transition easier and keep the children from wandering. During recess, the woman and her aide reportedly used some of the ropes to restrain the boy, who was sitting on the ground, by tying him to the back of a chair. He was allegedly left there for at least an hour.
