Shocking: S. Carolina School Officials Filmed Slapping, Shoving Special Needs Student

Not long after a New Jersey father filmed a number of teachers brutally mocking his autistic son, footage from South Carolina's St. John's Elementary is showing the school's behavioral manager and a teacher's aide slapping, shoving, and demeaning a 10-year old special needs student on a school bus.

Seemingly trying to put on his safety harness, the first woman literally throws the device on top of the child's face.  Unable to speak, according to reports, he sits there calmly.

Next, the boy holds his arms out so the woman can put on the device properly, and she shoves his head forward so that his whole upper-body bends.

As her rough-handling continues, the child starts whimpering and crying.

"Hush! Hush!" the other woman can be heard saying, as she slaps him across the face.

Then the women, identified as Tomeka Self and Rosanna Dudley, both start shoving and rough-handling the student to get the harness, shoving him forward and to the side with excessive force as he cries.

Here is the clip:

According to reports, the bus driver found the incident so appalling that he turned the bus's footage over to school authorities, who put the women on administrative leave without pay before notifying the police.

After the cops began investigating the matter, the women were arrested and charged with simple assault and battery.  They are due to appear in court on May 9th.

“This behavior is unacceptable, especially coming from adults who have been entrusted with the care of our children,” Dr. Rainey Knight, superintendent of the district, said in a release. “We do not condone this behavior anywhere in our district for any child.”
