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.

      Thanks, it was not a good feeling for sure. But he is doing fantastic at his ABA therapy, the kids there have 1 to 1 staff coverage, and they all adore him!
