معلم يضع «صلصة حارة» في فم طفل مصاب بالتوحد

In an incident that sparked widespread outrage, a teacher's aide was placed on administrative leave after being accused of putting hot sauce in the mouth of a non-verbal child with autism at J.C. Nalle Elementary School in Washington, D.C.

The Shock of the Child and His Mother

Shanice Griggs, the mother of 9-year-old David, told the Washington Post that her son, who is usually active and lively when he comes home from school, was found that day lying almost motionless with a hot forehead. She added, "I asked David if he was okay, but he didn't respond."

Investigations Ongoing

The school and local authorities launched an immediate investigation into the incident, amid demands from parents to ensure the safety of children in schools, especially those with special needs.
