A former special education teacher in Schenectady, New York, has been convicted after video footage showed her violently assaulting a six-year-old student—dragging him by the ankle, pushing him to the ground, and kicking him repeatedly. The 69-year-old educator was found guilty in a one-day bench trial on charges of endangering a child and harassment, marking the first time in over three decades that a local prosecutor has pursued such a case against a teacher. The school district claims it followed proper procedures, but the judge expressed shock that no action was taken sooner after reviewing the damning video. Sentencing is set for November tenth, with possible jail time up to a year—a chilling reminder of the devastating consequences when educators betray the trust placed in them.
