A 27-year-old Italian
primary school teacher has been placed under investigation on
suspicion of mistreating an eight-year-old autistic boy with
mobility problems near Alessandria.
The woman is accused of pushing and dragging the pupil,
kicking him in the shins, and stamping on his feet, police said.
She was allegedly caught on video cameras physically abusing
the boy while looking behind her to make sure she wasn't being
seen, and always trying not to be observed by her colleagues,
police said.
The case took place in the small town of Ovada.
The woman has been suspended for six months.
