Video from an Ohio school’s hallway camera shows a school employee chasing a 3-year-old down the hall and hitting him in the head from behind, knocking him to the ground, an attorney for the boy’s family alleges.

After the child is on the ground, the employee at Rosa Parks Early Learning Center in Dayton, Ohio, picks the child up by his ankles and carrying him down the hall with his head towards the floor, the August video shows.

The employee has since been removed by the district. The child is nonverbal and autistic, said the attorney for the boy’s parents, Michael Wright.

    I used to work in Special Education. It was so hard for my district to find assistants that weren’t either incompetent morons or batshit crazy. I remember one fellow teacher in another multiple disabilities room (so these kids need extensive care) asked an assistant to please let her know when she was leaving the room to go to the bathroom and the assistant went on a profanity laden tirade in the classroom. She had to be escorted off school property that day. People suck, I hope that poor kid is ok
