Darrick Sorrells, 56, was caught on tape pushing Braylen Tootle to the ground at Rosa Parks Early Learning Center and then carrying the child by his ankles.
The incident happened on August 21, and Braylen’s parents didn’t receive the shocking video until three weeks later.
Braylen never returned to the school, and his parents feel like with this latest setback they really haven’t moved forward since then.
“I just think it’s unfair, my feelings were hurt, I found out at work yesterday, crying, everybody had to see me looking crazy,” said Taneshia Lindsay.
