Sounds like a "special needs" instructor.

What kind of a man are you if you attack, physically or verbally, kids with special needs ? A p*ssy, that's what.
I don't even care if he goes to jail, I just think the parents should ask for a big fat cheque.

No sympathy for this guy! The weakest among us should have the strongest watching over them with care!

Hard labor. In prison.

He should get A lengthy sentence for this.
Do the hustle
Why do they keep referring to him as a teacher throughout the article? He’s nothing but a bullying thug and should be barred from ever holding a position with children again, after he gets out of jail, of course.

Sir Bentley:
Many democratic nations used to protect both victim and suspect name to guarantee innocent until proven guilty in court of law, rather than guilty until proven innocent in court of public opinion. Now its lopsided in many countries.

When special needs grow up, they have to work somewhere. I want to be able to tell my kids they can be anything when they grow up, regardless of disability. That being said, it sounded more like had anger issues.

In the states, schools are required to keep special needs and educate them, shouldn't the workplace have the same obligation? If you say no, then you are telling the special needs cgildren and adults both that they are wasting their time with school and they'll never amount to anything. Again, this teacher was probably having anger issues, not special needs.

Why can't they release his name? Is is because he too is an under-aged child? What kind of teacher would do this to a special needs kid? I tell you, were I that kid's parents, that teacher would NEED some special needs to walk.

So they had VIDEO of him assaulting a student and yet he was still teaching for another three months?

Not excusing him, but he may have trained as a teacher for average students and got forcibly transferred. He could suck around special needs. Perhaps we should look at the transfer syatem too.
