The incident happened last year in October at Addeliar Guy Elementary School, which is located between Lone Mountain Road and Valley Drive.
“I think that they didn’t investigate it long enough,” Tatiana Moe said. Her child was in the same classroom where the alleged assault occurred.
Administrators at Guy Elementary notified some parents in a document last fall that a teacher used physical restraint on a 7-year-old non-verbal, autistic boy. According to a copy of the document, which 8 News Now obtained, the child hit his teacher and the teacher then slapped his hands and called him a bastard and another curse word.
